    Is it Smart to buy an android phone now that Microsofts new device is around the Corner?

    I'm so glad that my usage in mobile pre dates the whole app craze. I literally don't care much about it. Having said that pwa's are right around the corner for when it does start to matter.

    Is it Smart to buy an android phone now that Microsofts new device is around the Corner?

    I've owned and used nothing other than Windows on mobile since it was called Pocket Pc Os. I've waited since 2003 for the device type that Andromeda is claiming to be. I think I can hold out a bit longer lol. I snagged a steal on an Elite x3 with the desk dock and lapdock back in December and...

    What we already knew is now official

    Having used every variation of Windows on mobile since 2003, the sheer pace at which they're washing their hands of mobile is rather peculiar. I'm certainly glad that Windows is finally on track to becoming one OS across all device types as I prefer a pocket pc with the ability to make calls...

    I'm not feeling the love Microsoft.

    Satya Nadella makes something like $80 million usd per year to appease the share holders, yet they couldn't afford licensing fees for Groove, the music service they never even marketed. So I call bs. Also they didn't even choose a proper replacement for Groove. They should have expanded their...

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    Let's hope so. I'm hoping for the mystery Andromeda device. If that doesn't happen then it's onto a 7 or 8" sim based win 10 tablet for me.

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    I don't expect them not to cover the alternatives or the launchers/services for said platforms. What surprised me was how quick they went from geeking out on an early woa build to completely ignoring it. This sort of thing used to be their deal. I'm not surprised at all by the lack of coverage...

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    My biggest issue is that Dan and Zac, who are two of my favorite writers and who's opinions I respect highly, abandoned Windows on Mobile almost overnight in favor of Android and the MS launcher. This surprised me not only because of how devout Microsoft fans they are, but also because they are...

    Who is still using a Windows Phone? Honest Question.

    Reading and writing this post from my HP Lapdock that I just bought along with my Elite x3 at the end of last month. The story I always tell is about how my journey with mobile (not cell phones) began in 2003 when I discovered, and ultimately purchased a Dell Axim x5. This was also around the...

    Any owners left? Lets talk old school Windows mobile 6.5 and below.

    I've been exclusive to Windows on mobile since I got my first device in 2003. It was a Dell Axim running Pocket Pc OS. I've stuck it out and I just picked up an Elite x3. I have most of my old winmo devices in a drawer and I'm considering repurchasing devices that I've sold or that were lost or...

    101 uses for an abandoned Windows Mobile Device:

    I currently have 5 of the 9 windows on mobile devices that I've owned (from 2003 to present). I quite literally went to my storage this morning, before i even saw this article, with the intention of finding those devices and bringing them home. One of them even had fresh parts to refurb it as i...

    Reminisce of a good time you had with Windows 10 Mobile.

    The day that I got home from the Microsoft store with my 950xl and fired up continuum for the first time. I had been waiting for 12 years (at the time) for this moment when my pocket pc could become my PC.

    Does iPhone X grab you?

    I totally would consider purchasing one if they would you install whatever OS you prefer, just like with a Mac. The iPhone X is great looking hardware, but I dislike anything that's not Windows.

    One heck of a week for W10 Mobile. What's everyone feeling?

    I'm not worried about it. I've been with Windows Mobile since it was called Pocket Pc 2002 and have rolled through the punches since. So no worries here! Windows on arm is on the way so all is well here. For the die hard that will only use win 10 mobile I'm sure a rom will eventually find its...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15063 Discussion (Redstone 2; Fast Ring)

    This update installed without the usual warning. Also no notice that it even installed until I went to dock up with my tv to find out that continuum and the connect app are broken, along with a few other oddities.Hoping for a fix soon.

    950XL Waiting Room

    Preordered a 950xl from a retail store back in early October and still haven't received my notification email to come pick it up. When I call the number listed for the store I get a call center that says I have to go to the store to find out. Seeing that it's 2 1/2 hours away it's not exactly a...
