Windows phone 10 rant
-
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.

My personal phone is a Lumia 830 upgraded to 10. Work is giving me an iPhone for work related stuff and I hate that interface with a passion: -One button at bottom, I'm all confused when I need to press back to go to previous screen; -All apps are always on the desktop, WP and Android both have customized list of apps on desktop and an all apps list which makes things easier. And Android, I've got a tablet for apps I don't find on Windows Phone but I end up using it only to play games (these are basically the apps I don't have on WP).

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.

Yes we are the last lot of supporters whom the 'non Microsoft' world curse as being idealistic. And we might end up being dumped by Microsoft too.

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.

That drove me crazy the first time it happened. All modern devices seem to NOT come with instructions. It's ridiculous that someone has to go to a non-company forum to find answers to things. (Started out with WP on an HTC, then went Lumia 900, then 1520, and now 950XL. I had to have Microsoft replace the 950XL because I kept getting hardware errors on it. Aside from having to drive to Austin, no problem.)
We won't sit down. We won't shut up. We won't go quietly away. YouTube and My Mu[sic], Films and Windows Programs, etc.

Looks like all of us 3 Windows phone users of the world are part of CP, and are online at the same time! :omg:
I believe, with count out the duplicates, I make 25.

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.

If Samsung is your main concern with Android, have you checked out HTC? The HTC 10 is pretty spiffy, and has expandy memory and fantastic sound through the headphone jack that most certainly needs to be there and is. Camera is OK but not the best. I'm not really a fanboy, but I've had the HTC One and now I have the 10 and I find them to be a great alternative to Samsung.

Count one more Windows 10 phone user. Never had a smartphone (or cell phone) before that. Got my Lumia 640 about a month ago, $122 completely unlocked and delivered to my door. As I may have written already in another post: It's a better MP3 player than every other player I've ever used in the past. It's a better camera than my $250 camera. It's a better GPS than my $120 GPS. You get the picture. This is how I use it - what's not to like?

count me in as an owner... I have a Win 10 Lumina 950 and a Band 2... had the Nokia 1020 before this. LOVED that phone! with today's announcement that the band is killed, I am really feeling like an orphan. looks like it just a matter of time for the phone. it's really a shame the phone is so much better than the competition, but the lack of good apps will kill it. :( Did you know there were more features of the Band supported on Apple and Android devices than on the Windows Phones? (like meal tracking for one) It seems M$ only makes a half hearted attempt whenever they try something new. :doh:

I did too. Apparently when he did, he was quoting then British Prime Minister Disraeli. It's still my favorite quote, even if it arrived in a trans-Atlantic manner :-D

And not even that, as Disraeli apparently quoted it from another source. There is research on the origination here: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics[^] . And as the term statistics came about in the 18th century, who knows how much further back the three part division of liars goes?

Looks like it was the late 19th century equivalent of a meme... I'm good with that.
