    Would you honestly buy another Microsoft Mobile?

    After being on the platform from day one for nearly 5 years (Samsung focus-> L920 -> L830) I can safely say I will NEVER buy another Windows phone. The platform has stagnated, failed to live up to any of it's promises or potential and lost all its original charm and uniqueness with windows 10...

    Lumia 2520 hard drive filling up issue

    Not sure if you tried this, but try deleting your internet explorer cache. For some reason on mine, it had consumed nearly 5GB of storage space. Open the metro ie app and go to settings and you'll find the option there. I still have about another 4GB that are unaccounted for, even after...

    Laggy performance??

    I have the same laggy experience on mine. There's always random and intermittent lag when opening, using, and switching apps, even after doing a reinstall. This will be the last windows tab I ever buy.

    backlight bleed

    Both mine and my brothers has this issue. Sent both in twice, new units had the issue as well. Seems like bad engineering on Nokia's part.

    Why are so many of you talking badly against WP8.1?

    There's actually quite a lot of basic smartphone/featurephone features still left out of WP 8.1 that make it incredibily disappointing. The lack of attachment options after nearly 4 years since WP's initial release, the fact that there still is no built in timer/stopwatch, no gapless playback...

    Is there a way to change the default alarm sound Cortana uses?

    I've searched throughout the phone but I can't find a setting to do it, other than toggling it manually every single time after I set an alarm. The volume on the default nokia alarm on the L920 is way to quiet and not "alarming" enough. It's extremely irritating because I barely hear them go...

    WP8.1 Preview Program Delayed

    MS was supposedly on a yearly update release schedule, but around February 2013, 8.1 was rumored to be delayed until 2014, a full year later. Rumor: Windows Phone Blue could be delayed to 2014 - Neowin This year builds and images started leaking around late summer/early fall. Considering that...

    WP8.1 Preview Program Delayed

    Ridiculous. This update should have been out 6 months ago. WP continues to fall further and further behind, while MS can't seem to get it's house in order. No wonder devs keep avoiding the platform like the plague.

    Bing Food and Drink app doesn't sync.

    Same issue here. Sync is broken for collections. Works partially on my tablet (syncs recipes I've added to my collections but not the pictures), and doesn't sync at all to my phone. The only part of the app that works flawlessly across pc/tablet/phone for me is the shopping list feature.

    Cars missing in Asphalt 8?

    "A day late and a dollar short" should be the motto of Windows Phone. We always get apps after iOS and Android, and when we get them they're lacking features and functionality.

    mail syncing is very poor

    I do find mail synchronization between my 920, my laptop running windows 8.1, and my Lumia 2520 to be very inconsistent, with 1 or 2 of those devices at a time not updating for a long time, or unless I trigger a manual sync. Mail most often goes to my phone, sometimes to my laptop, and very...

    What consumes more battery Data or WIFI? what about Bluetooth?

    Same here. I got tired of constantly toggling wifi, Bluetooth, and cellular data on/off all the time and worrying over my battery life. I just leave all 3 on now and I don't notice much of a difference.

    Is there a valid upgrade from the 920 yet?

    Being bored is a perfectly valid reason to upgrade.

    Is there a valid upgrade from the 920 yet?

    I don't see any reason to upgrade from the 920 yet, unless there are some specific features introduced after 8.1's release that require newer hardware. I haven't seen anything compelling so far in the release of the Icon or the 1520, and my 920 works better and faster than the day I purchased it.

    Nokia Lumia 2520 Hard buttons stopped working!

    I had a similar issue, but couldn't find any info about it through google/bing searches or by posting on here. I ended up just exchanging it out since it was under 14 days. You'll have to get yours serviced by Nokia now that it's been a month since you purchased it.
