[Kevin Rush]

Thank you, everyone. Good information to know.

Live Call Recorder, nice (Redstone, seen on Win10 phones till now)

Why are we not having Cortana along with the upgrade in Africa? Or should I ask when will we be getting Cortana...?

Any one with an idea?

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse works like charm in Win10M especially on full UWP apps.
- Left and right click
- Mouse scroll
- Tabbed controls
- Some windows shortcut keys like alt tab or WIN+TAB (show all running apps), ALT+F4 (closing apps), WIN+L (locking), WIN+E (explorer), etc.

Yes! But the implementation was better in 8.1, where it would only vibrate if the proximity sensor sensed that the device is NOT by your ear, which made more sense. When the dialing phone was in my hand, on the table etc., the vibration was useful to let me know the person answered - when the phone is already near my ear, it just scares me

I love new universal apps, new keyboard with more languages specially Urdu. More toggles on the action center and better customizations. New settings and the performance.

Lot of new features have been added as discussed but still we can't compare wp to android. Still missing video and call features in fb app, no call recording for all windows 10 phones, usb flash support missing. Waiting and still using Windows Phone.

Does the facebook apps by facebook work on 8.1?? or only 10 Mobile. Not Microsoft one.

The last time I've used a Windows Phone is Nokia's Window 7 OS. And looking at this latest features from Windows 10, i'm excited to try Windows Mobile OS again.

Don't bother. It's at funeral stage now.

But I must say the ui is the best. What is lacking is apps and loading, reloading time...

I love all the new features of W10M

 

[Edrian Villa]

I'm still excited to try it since I've had experience using WP 7 and 8.

I don't think there's a "feature suggestions" thread, so posting here:

Moving a ton of music from the phone to the SD card using the file manager, I just see "Moving files..." and the animated progress dots, but no indication of actual progress, and no option to safely pause or cancel. I have no idea whether this will take another minute or another hour, and in the meantime I don't dare to switch apps. That's not great. Ideally this would have a pause option that would place a notification in the action center that says 'File move paused (resume / cancel)' or so.

video and call features - this dependent on facebook, not MS
Call recording is now available in the new windows devices - this was a hardware requirement hence not available on older devices
USB OTG - also now supported on the new devices - same reason as above

Interesting list of features discussed. What we actually get to see if anything will be even more interesting to me. I have my fingers crossed.
