    Is a Lumia 640 XL comparible to a Lumia 1020

    Bought the assure program so we didn't have to repair a damaged phone, just get a new one. My point on the 950 is that the assure program specifically states based on the original phone you can be reimbursed the price of the original phone or get a phone in similar specs. We bought the phone...

    Is a Lumia 640 XL comparible to a Lumia 1020

    My thoughts exactly! In the assure program is says that they will replace based on original specs or the closest thing. I feel the 950 is the best replacement of the bunch based on camera alone.

    Is a Lumia 640 XL comparible to a Lumia 1020

    Hello all, Question for you guys, is a 640 XL comparible to a Lumia 1020? My wife bought a 1020 last year and the sreen broke recently. We have the assure program and when trading it in they were going to give us a Lumia 830, Lumia 640 XL or a blu win. As I recall the Lumia 1020 was a...

    Anyone use the HBONow website? Two things I've noticed is 1) doesn't save password and 2) doesn't allow full screen video viewing. Anyone have similar issues.

    Still waiting for upgrade?

    Noticed when looking at my recent updates that since 07/31/15 my computer has been trying to download Windows 10 everyday but next to the update it says failed. Is this suppose to show this when your computer "is not ready" or is this a problem with the update itself?

    Still waiting for upgrade?

    Stupid question, but I have reserved Windows 10 and it has yet to upgrade. The icon still says that my system is compatible and it will notify me when it becomes available. My question is, I have heard that it will not become available until Microsoft is sure that driver support is available...

    TH1 Professional 10240

    Curious. I popped in an old game, Sid Meier's Antietam and on windows 8.1 it didn't load because it was dos based. However on a whim I played it on windows 10 and viola it worked no problems. Is there a dos emulator built into Windows 10? Anyone else have old dos games running on Windows 10?

    Continuum for Phones [seemingly] will be available on current Lumias[?] (video)

    Sorry for bringing this topic back from the dead, but I would like to ask if by "new hardware" they were just inferring that you needed to buy an accessory like the one just leaked in an FCC filing codenamed Munchkin.

    Macbook pro early 2011 vs surface 3

    That is good to hear. I think we are going to see if surface pro 4 comes out and possibly drops the surface pro 3's price. Otherwise it's surface 3 for us.

    Macbook pro early 2011 vs surface 3

    Thanks guys. We really don't run many intensive programs, aside from some photo editing. We did have adobe elements and it was slow on the MacBook, so I know that want be able to handle it. What about older games like Xcom enemy unkown, do you think it will be able to handle that. If not I...

    Macbook pro early 2011 vs surface 3

    I probably already know the answer to this, but looking at getting into the surface lineup whether it be the normal version or the pro. My question is, with the regular surface would there be a noticeable change in performance against a machine this old even though it has on the surface (no pun...

    Wondering if Microsoft will follow Google's new idea

    Can't do that right now with certain models ie lumia 1520 is only on AT&T networks and lumia Icon only on Verizon networks and lumia 930 not available in the states. You can't buy those models unless you have their network and then you have to wait for the updates or use a developer preview...

    Wondering if Microsoft will follow Google's new idea

    One of the draw backs of owning a Microsoft phone from my brief time using one, is the carriers. I was originally greeted with disdain for the windows phone at local carriers and it has now translated to delayed updates to Denim and the OS itself. Also the phone selection varies widely among...

    Just updated to denim on L1520 and no "Hey Cortana"

    Thanks for the advice. It was a setting to enable hey Cortana as one of the above posts suggested. This is something I think Microsoft needs to get better at, that Apple does so much better. When I installed denim there should be an automatic tutorial over the phone has finished installing...
