I love my 950XL too and Windows Mobile as well. Unfortunately, unless MS (or someone else) comes out with a competitive Windows phone, the build out of the new LTE spectrum will force me to retire it in favor of something that can use the new spectrum. <TED>

I originally bought a Lumia 640XL to use as a travelling phone (it supported more 4GLTE bands than anything else I could find). I also thought it might be fun to try a Windows phone. I was amazed by the Lumia. I grew to love Windows 8.1 and Cortana was great. I kept my Galaxy 6 but when the...

My One Note is all but instantaneous when I open it in a good environment. If I am in a poor reception area on Edge or something slow, it comes up a bit slower. How much you have stored in One Note will also affect opening speed. <TED>

Verizon uses different technology that requires different hardware. As a result it is a much bigger step to support Verizon than it is to support GSM carriers. Since most of the world uses GSM, it is more important for MS. While it has been reported that MS talked to Verizon about Verizon...

Re: E-Mail setup problems on 950XL (Verizon E-Mail) Many Thanks for your insights. Oddly, I have a solution but I don't know what it is<g>! I have been deleting my Verizon account an reinstalling every day. Yesterday I got sick of it and deleted it around noon time. I was amazed at the...

Interesting, I have been unable to download French speech and thought it was an anomaly on my phone. Now that I hear you are havjng similar problems, it may be a bug, not an anomaly on my phone.

Re: E-Mail setup problems on 950XL (Verizon E-Mail) That's what I thought initially but it hasn't worked out. Note that they use net:110:0 and net:25:0. I'm not sure what the 0 indicates (but I assumed the lack of need for SSL since SSL is not used for ports 25 and 110.) I have tried every...

Well, I found an answer to my own problem. By careful comparison with my 640XL I found that I can bring up a dialog box that allows you to move the languages around. It is much more dependent on careful finger placement on the 950 probably because the finer screen is more granular. <TED>

Well for all the talk about delaying shipment of the free docks, I just got a notice from MS and a UPS tracking number. I couldn't have asked for any better service on a Phone I received about 4PM on Wednesday.

Given that you said that you really love the Surface Book, I would counsel you not to hesitate. Yes, there have been a few teething problems and a few people have had more serious problems, but that is the case with all technology. My problems have been relatively small and the firmware updates...

Here's one involving languages. Go into set up to languages and you are offered the chance to "Add a language". To me, addition means to get something in addition to what you had so I decided to add French. Well, it didn't just add it, it changed the language to French. No big deal, change...

Re: E-Mail setup problems on 950XL (Verizon E-Mail) Is no one but me having a problem setting up a client for Verizon Fios e-mail? Put another way, if someone has verizon e-mail working on their 950 XL I would love to see the string that MS created in the advanced settings under incoming and...

Yeah, I noticed the same thing...

Actually, there is. If they are being given out in the store, then you know whether you will get one or not. If you have to jump through hoops later you don't and many at the end of the cycle will buy hoping to get one when they are no longer available. There area also a number of people who...

The 640XL is a micro sim. You will need a nano sim. I just took mine to the AT&T store, they gave me a new sim and activated it right then and there. About 3 minutes total. <TED>
