    Surface Pro using a Micron C400 mSATA drive?

    I'm very curious if it is upgradeable as well, but it wouldn't be the first. The Acer W700 has an upgradeable msata drive.

    Is the SSD drive user replaceable?

    It's really not that bad, I would say it took me all of 10 minutes to get it apart and that is because I was going slowly so as not to damage the device. Using the proper tools also helps a lot in avoiding damage as well as opening it up quicker. As for battery life I average between 7.5 and...

    Is the SSD drive user replaceable?

    I've opened my W700 just to see how hard it was going to be. There is also a video here of how to do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WkDrJq5cc8&feature=youtube_gdata_player I was planning on using the 256GB Crucial drive.

    Is the SSD drive user replaceable?

    Really?! I have the Acer W700 and while I love it, I do miss the pen from my note 10.1 and was thinking about selling my W700 to pick up a surface pro for the pen input. The SSD in the W700 is replaceable tho and I just assumed the one in the surface would be as well. Really sucks if it isn't...

    WMA Lossless and USB music support

    I answered you a few days ago in your original post that WP8 did indeed play wma lossless. http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-phone-8-os-discussion/200960.htm

    Voice commands

    Is there a way to find a list of commands etc? I tried using it several times last night, mostly trying to get directions. On my S3 I could say Navigate to blah blah blah and it would bring up turn by turn to my destination. ON WP8 it kept opening one note and creating a note that said...

    Disappointed by Microsoft's latest OS

    In the ops defense his issues wouldn't have been answered before purchase by talking to any store rep/salesperson prior to buying it.

    The app myth debunked by Wired

    The list of apps they have I would say frankly are highly questionable as far as the top apps go. I haven't even heard of a lot of them. I used a Samsung Focus for almost 8 months last year and finally decided to switch back to Android until the apps I needed were available. I just picked up...

    NFC and Credit Cards

    It doesn't at the moment. I was looking forward to using the 920 for nfc purchases as well since I've been doing it on my S3 and Galaxy Nexus before it for about a year now. Sadly it looks like you need a special sim card and carrier support to get the same level of functionality from WP8's...

    Trying Straight Talk w my 920

    Sorry, I misspoke it seems. When my wife got home she told me she hadn't received any of my picture messages. I'm still trying to get it to work now that I can test with my wife's phone in front of me.. I'll post back if I get it working. This is my first Nokia phone so I'm not sure...

    Trying Straight Talk w my 920

    You need to add the apn settings for internet and mms, out of the box with the straighttalk sim in you can make phone calls and that is it. Oddly enough under Cellular in settings there are seperate entries for internet and mms apn's you have to edit each.

    Stupid question about Wallet..

    Really?! That seriously sucks! I'm using straight talk so the odds of a setup like that coming to prepaid providers anytime in the near future is probably non-existent. That's to bad too as I'm really liking the 920 and WP8 over all but without working NFC payments etc I'll probably return it...

    WMA Lossless?

    Just tried on my 920 and can confirm that it will play WMA Lossless no problem at all!

    Stupid question about Wallet..

    So I just picked up my 920 this morning and was excited to check out Microsofts Wallet app. I've been using Google Wallet for some time now and find it very convienant when purchasing items from local businesses that have the contact payment setup. Anyway, my stupid question is, Does Wallet on...
