    Somehow the phone screen got split into two. The lock screen was only half visible. I waster a good minute getting it back to occupy the full screen. And I don't know how it got back. Talk about Ux issues. And yes, I'm one of those fools who still continues to use a Windows phone.

    Personally, I love my Windows Phone. Haven't moved to 10 yet, still using 8. Between the members of my family we cover all the bases, and having used all 3, I think the Windows UI is the friendliest. So, please keep on using that Windows Phone.

        How do you like the phone overall? I'm thinking about moving over to one since I won't buy Apple products and I am concerned about recent firey Samsung design flaws.

        Personally, I think there is nothing major wrong with Windows 10 or Nokia. Minor UI glitches but overall its a good phone. Pity they've sold out and closed (sort of).

          Then don't :) There are a lot of usability improvements in 10, but built-in apps are much less stable then those on 8. Also new Map app is worse then Here Maps :(

                I think you activated the one-handed mode[^] (what a weird name). I've never used it though, as I could reach the entire screen area even with one hand. But some people swear by it to be a very nice feature.

                          I've just started writing Android apps, to teach myself a valued skill lots of people want and I don't have, but I think I'll split my time to start on UWP as well.

                            + Another 2 - my wife loves Windows Phones, but when she needed a new one last month there was only 1 Win10 Phone to buy from our Provider ;( - Anyway she is happy now - just to explain the resent Peak (+1) in sold devices ;P It gives you a warm feeling if you buy a WP - you feel like you have donated for the poor :laugh:

                              Why? Is it for a rational reason? Have you tried using their gear? It was Windows Phone that finally pushed me onto iOS and Windows 8 that convinced me to move to MacOS.

                              I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

                                    So nice to hear that I'm not the only one who likes Windows Phones. I'm on my second and I really like it. I've got an iPad and my wife has an Android phone nut I just prefer the UI of the WP. The poor app support is a pain sometimes and in the UK the BBC iPlayer radio app is very poor but I've found apps to do all the things I want to do. I fear Microsoft is going to leave me high and dry though.

                                          I thought that was Mark Twain who said that about lies. I gave up when my Nokia 920 melted somewhat in a small house fire. I only lost NFC capability with the $200 Samsung Android I replaced it with. ----------------------------------------------- Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
