I don't care what the tech is, a phone has to be able to fit in my pocket, period. I already have a Surface Pro 4 in my bag... making a mini one isn't really an attractive proposition for me, and definitely will not help Microsoft to replace my Nexus phone. Now, if they come up with an...

I think there would be less of a market for that device than an actual Windows phone... which is already pretty low. The best thing Microsoft could do is create an actual phone and begin marketing it with it's Surface Pro in commercials and online ads. The Surface Pro has a positive, "cool"...

A lot of the arguments being posted exist on mobile platforms as well... Both Android and iOS have perfectly capable browsers. Apps take up storage on either devices and do not affect performance. None of these are legitimate reasons why we shouldn't see Universal Apps take off. If anything, I...

Re: Lumia 950 XL vs iPhone 6s Plus vs Note 5 Although I agree with you, many would count it having Windows 10 Mobile as a detracting factor compared to Android or iOS. People buying the iPhone 6 or Note 5 will also care more about the hardware design. Personally, I'm hoping to get the 950...

Yep, this is the biggest problem Microsoft has. I had been using a 1520 and loving it. But when the screen cracked, I went back to using my Nexus 5... the app experience is just so much better on Android, I feel like I might miss it if I go back to Windows 10 Mobile.

The device already looks sleeker in the pics we've seen. It definitely looks thinner. I also have a 1520, and have adjusted to the size. But I'm looking forward to the 950 XL because the size/design looks like it will be more comfortable in hand.

That was very well put. I think Windows 10 Mobile is a fine OS if they can solve the app problem, but your post did help me understand the frustration of long-time WP users. I didn't like WP7 and went back to Android, so I missed out on a lot of the 'anticipation' you all must have experienced...

The interesting thing is that those of you who loved WP7/8 don't seem to realize those OS's could not survive and thrive. If Microsoft had just made another iterative update, instead of completely reinventing the OS, their market share would continue to shrink until you had no Windows phone to...

Well, it worked... I didn't like WP8.1, but I'll consider Windows 10 Mobile if the app situation improves. I don't care about games or anything, but there are some key apps that are useful for an executive that travels frequently. I love the core apps in Windows 10 Mobile and just hope that...

I just bought the Surface 3 in May as well. I'm in a similar situation... I have an old Lumina 1520 that I've tried Windows 10 Mobile on and actually like it a lot (wasn't a fan of 8.1). I'm only concerned with some of the apps that are either outdated or aren't on the platform at all...

I'm excited for the Surface Pro 4 announcements. I've been looking forward to purchasing one all year. I'm interested to find out what the different configuration choices will be, and whether the 14" will suffer shorter battery life due to beefier processor, larger screen, and/or higher...

The 930 is a great looking phone, but I do think I'm going to go ahead and get the 950 XL. The 930 did look a bit more high end in design, but the 950 doesn't look as bad as everyone is making it out to be, to me. More importantly, the specs appear top notch.
