......because they couldn't? Windows wasn't at a state where it could be scalable to different form factors at its initial release. I'm sure if they could have done this earlier they definitely would have. There was a lot of work put into getting Windows ready for a shift like this, and...

Can someone please clear up some confusion I have with Microsoft's marketing and naming schemes? Are bots a product of the Cortana Intelligence Suite (Cortana Bot Framework)? Or are they a Microsoft product (Microsoft Bot Framework) that works in tandem with Cortana's bot features, like the...

I agree entirely and understand exactly what you're talking about. I've had the Lumia 920, 830, and 1520 and in my opinion, the 920 sounded the best. There was no clipping or distortion of bass at max volume like the 1520 does, and the max volume was very loud. The 830 is second best, followed...

I hope the contextual features that are in the Microsoft-made app come to this app (quick replies to comments in the notifications, and quick RSVP options). If not then I'm personally never switching over. Even if it does run smoother. The only difference I find between iOS' Facebook app vs...

I've actually never a contest before so winning a brand new Lumia would be absolutely amazing! My Lumia 1520 is having a bit of touchscreen and capacitive button issues so hopefully the on-screen keys will be of better use for me. Plus the cameras are a worthy upgrade. Best of luck to everyone!

Lumia 950XL! I love the style of the XL, plus I need a replacement for my 1520.

I was recently informed by the wonderful Cortana that an article was posted on Digital Trends titled "Why You Should Not Buy a Lumia, or a Windows Phone". As much as I'd rather not support this click-bait, I feel that this would be a good way to address biased and poor journalism in general and...

My Lumia 1520 hangs as well! I have no idea why it does it either... there isn't a specific reason or app that causes it to hang. It started up about a week and a half ago. I've had the preview installed for a little over a month. I'll try a hard reset as well.

I hope someone else has this problem as well... But I just installed the Windows 10 for phones TP on my 830 and for some reason, the frame rate when scrolling on the Start screen is incredibly slow. It drops to about half the smoothness and gets really choppy. Even with my background disabled...

How/when would unlocked phones get Lumia Cyan? I bought a Lumia 1520 online and I use it in Canada with Rogers, where the phone is not available. AT&T just pushed out their update for the 1520. Would I have a lot of trouble updating to Cyan?

re: Pictures & Videos Taken With My Lumia 1520 I used an ISO of 100-200 for these shots to get less noise.

Fast app resume isn't handled by the OS, it's handled by the developer enabling the feature in the app. I personally think it's kind of stupid that Microsoft wouldn't make this mandatory, though.

Just Xbox Music. I can't stand the Store app at all... It's slow and sluggish, navigation is terrible and it doesn't match the native Windows Phone experience. The fact that it's my only option for listening to my music subscription is terrible. They need to update the app immediately.

I just recently read the article about Facebook Messenger coming to Windows Phone and I thought to myself, "why couldn't we just update the integration on Windows Phone instead of creating a brand new app?" I loved how seamless it was to switch from a Facebook message to a text in the same app...

I took screenshots of my avatar in the Games hub, edited the screenshot in Photoshop to remove the background but keep the shadow on the bottom, and sent it back to my phone. It's a little grainy because of the glance screen's picture but I really enjoy it :D
