Maybe there's another thread I'm not seeing discussion about this:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/18/us-nokia-phones-idUSKBN0OY21320150618?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews

quote:

Many analysts expect Microsoft to write off all or part of the $7.2 billion it paid for Nokia's handset unit, a deal that left Microsoft with a money-losing business and only 3 percent of the smartphone market.

Microsoft manager Stephen Elop, whom the U.S. software giant installed as Nokia chief executive for a time, is now leaving Microsoft in a sign the company is turning away from the hardware devices business he headed and back to its core software business.

I have weather set as my lock screen. I have spent the past week in Seattle and my phone shows every little neighborhood I might be in. However, back home in Los Angeles, everywhere is Los Angeles. My actual home (Van Nuys) has much different weather than Los Angeles. :argh:

Does anyone have experience of Windows 10 on a 925? It's my workhorse phone, and I'm not averse to using the rollback tool, but if anyone's done it and there are big, big problems with the OS/handset combo, I'd rather know before I set off.

I tried it for about an hour before I went back to 8.1

After 20 months I finally got a wireless charging cover and charger for my 925. And it didn't work out of the box. I did a little mod of putting paper under the contacts and now it works.

I don't like how far from center the camera is. One of my biggest turn offs for the iphone is having the camera tucked in the corner.

Not sure if the "leak" is true but a Spanish site apparently shows the 950 at ~$735 and the XL at ~$835. Granted, that would include the high European taxes built in, but that's near iPhone level pricing.

Not sure if i could pay more than $500 for even a flagship Windows phone. The prices may include accessories such as the dock, etc but still.

I saw some site saying the price was high because it comes with a Continuum set up and a qi charger.

Well...that puts a damper on it. So I am SoL on t-mobile? Or does unlocked mean I can use it?

It means we'll be paying full price up front instead of interest free installments through T-Mobile.

I've got an Alcatel One Touch running Windows 10 from betabound.

It's big and plasticky.

Probably a bad thing, but I let it install the back up from my Lumia 925.

Welp, took advantage of the T-Mobile iPhone sale and joined the dark side. My Nokia days are done.

Having made the switch from Windows phone to iOS back in September, the one and only thing Windows does better than iOS (by a huge margin) is the keyboard, and the autocorrect in particular.

Wordflow is on iOS now
