You could add that the settings app now includes an encryption option.

So, if the "new" action center is supposed to be a complete copy of Android, couldn't they have done it with 8.1 already? Lol

Is there finally separate volume slider for alarms and ability to add vibration along sound in alarms?

i installed windows 10 on my phone, to my surprise it had some of the features as described in the official video by Joe, but it didn't have latest office and mail client the same old previous, otherwise its awesome.

I think, but this needs confirming, that when you use the edit box voice dictation, there is a nice feature:

If it gets a word wrong in a dictated sentence, when you click on the word the auto-complete line shows other possible interpretations of the word for you to select to easily correct its mistake.

Thanks, I think it now uses the 'Nokia' camera app by default, right?

I had Lumia Camera and the built in Camera. By default my phone was set to use Lumia Camera, but I switched to Camera.

Boy the new Camera app fast! Almost instant. Once loaded it is instant (from quick access toolbar).

Cortana does this in 8.1. But yes it is true.

I don't have the W10 desktop preview. So I never used the new Universal apps. The Calculator is a beast now! Has damn near every possible calculator you will ever need

Well, I'd like to see a financial calculator, with options for amortizations, etc. I also want to see it have a tip calculator as part of it.

Consider it confirmed.

Well, was hoping to get away from 3rd party calculator apps. I've had about 4 installed. I'm now able to uninstall 2 of them. I still have to have the financial calculator and the tip calculator.

In the Photos Hub when you select multiple files, it?s possible to select videos too. Previously it was not possible to select/delete multiple videos at once.
