Not at all... I've bought every single Surface product from the Surface RT to the Surface Go (minus Surface Studio) and had nothing but success. My Surface RT actually still works, and I keep it around from some ARM-chipset games that can't be played on x86/64 machines. Closest thing to issues I...

As much as I love, and am attached to my Surface/Xbox products... Windows Mobile was an important part (for me) of UWP, which I found way more appealing than PWA. With Microsoft hopping out of the mobile sector... the UWP and the Windows Store that made me stick to Microsoft's ecosystem has a...

Mine's kind of cheating because it's technically what got me away from using pure laptops... but it's Microsoft; specifically the Surface products. More than any other device family, Surface has really changed the way I approached everything from work to gaming to college because it brought it...

Yep. Losing Ring was the app that did it for me. I actually NEED that one so I had to shelf my Lumia 950XL. Tried out iPhone X... in addition to feeling like Apple products are a direct insult to my intelligence, their upgrade to 64bit architecture actually meant they were disallowing me to use...

So of course I had to put some serious time and research into this... and being that it's android, I wasn't surprised to find that it's not 100%... or even 60% for that matter. Tried this on my Note 8 for about a month and noticed that not only was it very partial towards the apps it let me...

Simple. There's still a lot I love about this platform that I can't get anywhere else. When I blew through two grand getting an iPhone X and a Galaxy Note 8 to "see which one I was leaving Windows Phone for," a part of me knew I'd be making that call to MetroPCS to get my SIM switched back to...

After nearly a month of bouncing between iPhone 7 Plus and Galaxy S8, I think I may soon be returning to my Lumia 950 and sticking it out with you guys. None of the "W10-style" interfaces are as good as the real one, the Lumia camera experience is unparalleled, and... I miss my mobile Xbox...

Just to follow up, I ended up ditching Cricket and switching to Metro PCS. Came out way ahead actually. Getting about 6x the speeds, jumped up from 4GB of data to 6GB, went from paying $70 total for our two lines to $65... and as an added couple of bonuses I no longer have to put in area code...

I've had a lot of good times with Windows 10 Mobile. Since I've mostly been with my Lumia 950 since launch, it's become kind of a game for me to challenge my co-workers to camera shoot-offs whenever they get the newest flavor of phone. The iPhones (even the plus) get dominated very easily...

I do have to express extraordinary discontent with how Microsoft is treating us. It's becoming increasingly harder to ignore the people saying things to the effect of: "If you love Microsoft in the mobile world, the only way to get their support is leaving Windows Phone." So I'm testing the...

I've actually kinda already done it. Though my Lumia 950 was the daily driver, I've had a Galaxy S8 here since launch, and the Note 3 arrived a couple days ago... and I don't mean to offend Pixel fans, but that's about the only lineup I'm making a huge effort to ignore. Had a Nexus 5 and a...

Though I did have a HTC TyTn II beforehand, Samsung Focus Flash is really what started it all for me. Then the Lumia 520, HTC 8s, 525, 1020, 1520, Icon, 820, 830, 535, 640, 1520 (again), 930, 920, 950, YEZZ Billy 4.7, 650, 950XL, Alcatel Idol 4S, gave the 950XL to my wife and went back to the...

Sadly, I'm about to the point in which I can't do it anymore. I love my 950. Been using it every single day since it launched. Love the interface, love the integrated Microsoft services, love continuum... hell, I'm prepared with a long *** Continuum app list at any given moment to destroy...

All. Surface for me was a break away from the tired old paradigm of wanting to use a tablet, needing a laptop as well because the tablet couldn't do as much, then having a complete disconnect between the latter two and the desktop... so it's my everything from IDE powerhouse to gaming unit (I...

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I mostly wanted to know this because I'm not entirely opposed to switching carriers to use this phone... just didn't want to pay TMo $30 more for the same thing I get out of Cricket. And it appears I can actually save $5/mo going the MetroPCS route.
