It has been so long since I posted on here. I have gotten out my old Microsoft Lumia 640, and I have been using it again as my daily driver as I am in-between phones. My first (and so far only) Android phone The Moto X Pure died a slow, miserable death. My intention was to use this little bad...

This seems so like my kind of flick.... I am kinda hoping I can sneak it in sometime over the next couple days. I will sure share. But I am pumped about what everyone else thinks. This may be the rare remake that is actually better than the originals because of the advancements in movie tech...

Back on topic- I actually would prefer to stick with the Surface name for tablets. I have ZERO problems with a premium Lumia phone having the design language of a Surface tablet. I think that would amazing. But as far as branding I think Microsoft has been doing a nice job growing the Surface...

I like so may points being brought up on this thread: The most important in my opinion, is NO MORE NUMBER SCHEMES!! Seriously- in this day and age when companies are spitting out devices like cherry pits at a juicing company number schemes are a death knell. It is a holdover from when Nokia...

I am a firm believer that if you have to ask if you should, you probably shouldn't. The W10 preview is designed to discover problems and shortcomings in the OS. It is NOT designed for everyday use. So if you install, you will absolutely have some kind of quirk, fault, inoperable function, or...

To my knowledge, there isn't any way to port Nook books to Windows Phone. There have been some attempts to make a few apps that work with Nook by third parties. But I can suggest none. They are all basically inoperable. This has been a source of mild aggravation for us. While the Kindle app...

Went ahead and moved this to the Gamers Lounge where there can be a better discussion on this.

Thanks for the rundown!! I did think the OEM earbuds from HTC were really good as well. Nice touch from HTC to throw them in there.

That is one of the most "definitive maybe" answers I have ever read. :grin:

And here is the poor old snowmutt, alone again.... I still use the phone... like a lot. It kills me because my BlackBerry Curve had better audio then any smartphone from the last 4-5 years has. It is for any small business owner, any professional, or anybody who just doesn't like texting that...

Easiest solution to this is to pin the contact to your start screen by long pressing it on your contact list. Any recent text you get will show on your live tile, and tapping it will take you to your most recent communication with that contact.

Wow. Bad, bad day....... You are asking opinions, so mine is no. It is not worth fixing. There is no way even the tank-like Nokia 1520 is going to come back from that working well. Not if it was run over. I say give it a moment of silence, and let it pass. Save that mney for a like-new...

So for the record... are you confused it shows your work as 2 different places, or confused that it only shows up as the sixth suggestion? I am actually confused as to the advantages of these "favorite places". What does Cortana do for you after designating a place as your favorite?

I am opposite of everyone so far... as is my life. I had glance, than had a three month trial with the HTC On M8 for Windows, and no longer had it. I found I really did not miss it at all. As a matter of a fact, I found I am so ingrained in the way I use my phone, Glance was almost annoying...

Seeing how there is maybe 2-3 holidays we all have to remember or else nasty ruin will befall us all, this is my reminder to get on the Moms Day stuff. We all have been there... the big OOPS as it closes in on us. Heaven help you if you forget. I am only doing this because My Mom- as much as...
