    The Lumia 650 is a downgrade from the 640

    The AMOLED screen, thinner, lighter, higher quality looking, front facing speakers (thank goodness), Windows 10 (for the uninitiated who don't know how to get it through Insider). Jury is out on 212 vs 410 until we see benchmarks, but as I see it that would be the only potential downgrade. Well...

    Can't Get preview builds

    Well, I'm currently on version 8.10.15184.160, which is the version WDR says is latest. I'll give it a shot anyway and see what happens, maybe the WDR image is better than the one I was on.

    How to cast with a Lumia 950

    Does anyone have a guide on casting with the 950? I have a Roku 3 and several smart TVs capable of casting, but no idea how to actually cast from the phone. I'd like to knows how to do it using something like Plex or the YouTube app.

    Microsoft and their anti-consumer practices

    I see a lot of people defending MS here, which is a bit surprising. While I certainly don't think this is an "anti-consumer" practice, it does feel like they don't care about some of their loyals - in particular, their mobile users. Part of the allure of Windows Phone for me was to have 25...

    WP community descends into cannibalism and woe

    ^ This. All of it. Couldn't have said it better. Except the baseball stuff. I don't know baseball, but whatever team Joe Montana is on is gonna win.

    Back up phone as recovery point possible?

    Is it possible to back up the phone "image" such that I can restore back to a previous version if possible? Particularly, I'd like to backup while on my current firmware in case Cyan causes me to lose some features I lucked into with the developer's preview (*cough cough* internet sharing)

    Lock screen notifications haven't worked

    I'm not sure if there's an extra step I'm missing, but my lock screen has never displayed any notifications for the app even though it's one of the apps selected in lock screen settings. My live tile does show a numeric value as expected, just not my lock screen. Help?

    Unlocked Lumia 928?

    I'll be watching this thread closely... I'm still on contract for a while with AT&T, but would like to move to Verizon once my contract expires. So if I could buy this unlocked and use it until my contract expires... well, I'm still not saving with the unlocked price (or ETF to move now), but...
