    Will an "unlocked" 950XL work on Verizon?

    Unfortunately one of the best phones of the year is going to be dead before arrival whether any of us want to admit it or not. Windows Phone doesn't stand a chance with carrier exclusives. I would hands down buy the 950XL but I am on Verizon and that's all that works in my area.

    Ten disappointing things about Windows 10 :(

    I do hear what you're saying. With the release of 8.1 a lot of the complaints were what you mention above. So MS listened too people and gave them what they wanted and a lot of it is very similar to W7 because that's what the people wanted. Some of the things you mention above are personal...

    Microsoft Outsmarts Apple Watch

    The Apple watch will have no problem selling because of Apple stores. Apple trains their salesmen to be amazing at what they do. When the average Joe walks into the Apple store and the salesman starts showing what all they'll be able to do with their phone for ONLY $350, they'll have no problem...

    Windows phone and bad carrier support

    I'm not sure what all the talk is about Verizon dropping all Windows Phones. The HTC One M8 and Samsung Ativ SE are still listed. The Samsung is a pretty useless phone but the M8 is a top notch WP.

    Re: DO NOT BUY NOKIA LUMIA 1520..Very fragile,slippery, and expensive to repair..300$ for repair I hit a deer once, body shop wanted $3300 to fix it but I think Chevy should have to pay it because they claim their cars are 'like a rock'. Sent from my iPad Air using Tapatalk

    Windows 8.1 w/Bing

    I was going through the Lenovo website and found a computer that has Windows 8.1 with Bing listed as the installed OS. I have heard rumors about W8.1 w/Bing but last I knew nothing had been mentioned from MS about it...

    Microsoft owns Skype... and GroupMe, why are they not owning messaging?

    1. I think Skype is more known for video chatting than IM. We used MSN at work and when support went for that everybody switched to Yahoo. 2. Have you tried making a video call from the W8.1 Skype App? It fails up to twice every time before the call goes through.

    Very unimpressed by iOS 8...

    Whether you like Apple or not and if you like what Apple announced or not we all have to agree on something. It's creating competition and pushing technology forward, and when one company pushes the tech bar forward the others follow. When tech pushes forward and competition heats up we win as...

    Retail outlets contributing to WP slow growth?

    I disagree that it is a secret Google deal. Retail is in a tough spot. Retail controls what sells but they will only sell what sells...... Places like Walmart and even Best Buy don't employ people who know tech, they employ people who are salesmen. So many times the sales rep doesn't know...

    According to Thurrott on WP 8.1, this is it.

    I don't think OEMs do have confidence either. Especially HP with all the chromebooks they are pushing out as well as 2 Android powered laptops in the past year. Yes other OEMs are doing the same but HP seems to be doing it at a faster rate. Sent from my iPad Air using Tapatalk

    MS will let you try out the Surface Pro 3 starting june 6th at Microsoft Stores

    The promo code was for an additional $100 off but is now dead because people were ordering the SP3 for as little as $607 after tax. The 10% off is linked to your school, you select your school and get 10% off everything.

    Soon to be 8X owner

    It's one of my only options on Verizon. I cannot stand the skins put on Android. I have a Samsung tablet and touchwiz makes it awful to use with only 1gb of RAM. I do like the moto x. It's awesome because if you put 3 moto x's next to each other they'll all look different. Sent from my Bambo...
