WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

A year or so ago I wouldn't consider a 6" phone. Who else would consider it now?

Been there, done that.

All jokes aside, it depends on what the space are and how pocketable they make it.

Morning folks.

It ain't about how looks, its more about how it runs and the price at this point. If MSFT misses on pricing, they're ****ed...

Amen.

At 6" the phone tends to get too wide. I think 5.7" is the sweet spot. This coming from someone who has sampled the following large devices:
OnePlus One, iPhone 6+, Samsung Note II, Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, LG G3 and Nexus 6. Of all these devices, the LG, OPO and Xiaomi felt the best in hand. The worst was Nexus 6 - too wide at least for my hands, followed closely by the iPhone 6+ - really big bezels...

Cityman or 950 XL =$499
Talkman or 950 = $429

Should offer them at those prices, unlocked from Microsoftstore.com.
They should be able to sell 'dem apples then...

One would argue that the OP 2 is cheaper but it has no Qi charging, cameras aren't comparable, no NFC, and no qHD. So the difference in price is justified by MSFT, plus no stupid invite to buy the phone...

I'm thinking that pricing is absolutely key on these devices, too. I'd go so far as to say $399 for the XL and it would sell quite well, and most people wouldn't make a huge deal about aesthetics.

Typo? Sacrament is not something you go to for days...

Ignorance, there is a cure.

He probably meant Sacramento, CA...and was trying to make it sound cool and **** but came out in Sahibistic form...

$399 is too low. I'd go $399 for the smaller one (950) with $499 for the bigger screen (XL) and a bundle of some free service.

They need to also upgrade the 830. Keep the same specs (16GB on board storage +2GB RAM) - upgrade the chip to an 808 or 805, put the 930's camera on it and sell that for $300...with all the US bands.

And market the **** out of it.

As long as the price is reasonable and in this ball park area I think it'll be a success. However we all know that MS's biggest weakness has been getting carriers to actually sell their devices. If they can see this unlocked through the MS store with a gigantic marketing push globally we should be all set.

Finally got my Z3 back! Unfortunately the tempered glass is at work but I'm sure I'll be fine until Tuesday... I hope.

I'm looking for names on it. So far I haven't found anything interesting.

I heard a radio ad the other day talking about Windows Phones and the Surface 3 on AT&T. I was quite surprised! A good 60 seconds or more!

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Not sure what to make of the L950/XL. I do agree they look slightly cheap and plastic. Hard to go by a render on how they generally look and feel. Nor the weight.

I've never been a fan of the camera bulge either.

I have to agree that I was hoping for something a bit more slick looking. Maybe their Intel phones will be the 'premium phone' people want. More waiting....

I'll wait till I see the phone in reviews to make my call.
