I'd say an iPhone 8+ or X. It's best for those point and shoot moments you'll need right away (though it doens't shoot in RAW by default). Then you have other apps you can use like Lightroom or Camera+ for finer controls. Yes, they're apps, but if you have the time to manually adjust, then you...

Nothing actually. It caused me to switch. Now what did I miss about Windows Phone 8? Everything about it, it's fluidity, seemless integration with apps, productivity stand point of live tiles, the system wide color personalization, Cortana actually being useful with local search. Everything...

I think you have to go back and look why you liked Microsoft's OS in the first place. Was it because it made you more productive? Or did you get it just because it was Microsoft and you just like Microsoft's platform. I find that those who wanted just productivity on it, just to go with...

Next year the Snapdragon will be 1.89x faster than the Core i9.... /sarcasm I find it really hard to figure out what "speed" is now in computing. The ARM architecture vs the x86 architecture vary wildly. If you do a single instruction type of deal, I'm sure Intel on Clock speed alone would win...

It isn't enough. They need to make Office free and super easy to collaborate, and they have to ramp up the pace of this because I know they pretty much nailed this already, but it just isn't quite there. The mindshare just isn't there. You speak to kids, they still say "Google this and that" ...

Ok seriously, think about the students. Think about their use case scenario. Everyone is assuming you're going to be drawing on these things for hours on hours long. That is not the case. Being one of the first users of the TablePC form, dating back to the swivel screens, I would predominately...

If I were getting one (no longer a student so don't really need it anymore), Burgundy color is like the biggest thing to choosing it over others, because it's already a damn solid all over spec and aesthetic wise.

Support basically. When Microsoft doesn't even back it's own platform first, making a Windows first philosophy, then it signals to the developers who were keeping the platform afloat, "hey we don't even like it ourselves" type of deal. It's an awesome platform, tons of potential, etc (I friggin...

Think iOS is the best if you just want to just get on with your life. All the MS services are there that you need, but if you feel the need to be testing the latest MS apps and launchers, Android probably suit you better.

Think it's Final Fantasy XV for me right now. Still playing it regularly. I did enjoy Re:Core a lot too, and Mirror's Edge right now is the game I'm currently progressing in, but its very frustrating I think because of the load times.

I would just really love an updated Nokia N79. Put the newest camera in it, put a beefier processor, and maybe just throw in Android on it with a touchless interface (I want to use buttons again!), and I'd be good to go. Maybe throw some of that Supernova series flare on it. Oh man, that would...

Yes and No. You cannot attract users if they're apps they expect are not going to be there, so they won't risk it to find that out if it is or not. You cannot attract apps if there are no users. You cannot attract either if there is no hardware. So in the Nokia era, Nokia pushed, and low and...

Do you use a case? I take it you dont. Its one reason I've been looking for just clear cases or going without so people can notice the Lumia more.

Might want to consider the 930. In the US they seem pretty similar in price. MS Store sells a no contract ATT 830 for 400$ but with a free Fitbit (or 260$ on Expansys), whereas Expansys sells the 930 for 390$. It looks like Expansys also sells the OnePlus One for about 400$. If that's the case...

Sounds like the leds went out, you should warranty it.
