    Windows 10 Phone - What device are you going to update? [​IMG]



    I have a Nokia Lumia 1520 HK variant which I got from Amazon as the 1520 was not released here in Canada. It is SIM-less (unlocked). It was updated (OTA) to 8.1 a few months after I got it back in July 2014.

    I just hope that my device is fully compatible with the Windows 10 Phone Tech Preview.

    :)

  2. Are you going to return your WP7?

    Moving to Cloud or Later to the Ozone its ok, But the choice must remain with the user, and no one must force the users to do so, By blocking all other ways to transporting contacts to the phone, microsoft is wrong in thinking that users will like or do
    what they like. They must immediately come up with a tool to sync without the use of internet, cloud, or Liveid's It wont be long when users will take it as microsoft saying... "Take it or ****, go get ANDROID."

  3. Are you going to return your WP7?

    TOTALLY agree. If Microsoft were to ask me (I can't believe they haven't! Windows 10 Phone - What device are you going to update? :), I'd tell them to focus on nice, simple Skydrive integration so I can move files of all kinds back-and-forth freely.

    I am cheap. Mine is only $49 unlocked. But I have no ambitions to play with the TP. I use it mainly for navigation and to watch the Flintstones when the wife is shopping in the mall, LOL.

    Nice. I've just been watching a vid with a 925 in it and if I had a silver edge on my phone instead of black, I think I'd be tempted to try a light background with grey background photo, as it looks pretty awesome IMO:

    Same! I have no clue when or if mine will be eligible for Windows 10. I haven't even got the Denim update yet!
    Really impressed with HEREMaps and Cortana replying to my texts for me though!

    Denim just rolled out in UK a few days ago. I am also still running Cyan.

    Maybe I should turn the thing on to get the updates. Have not turned it on in weeks, LOL. But then I don't know whether I want updates to scramble my nice setup.

    does your phone has Backup feature under settings? You can backup you settings and apps online. You can restore all your apps and settings anytime even when you are changing phones.

    I just backed up early this afternoon in prep for 10. *Smile

    Just been looking at the North America Denim availability and it seems to be even worse than the UK...
    Availability in North America - Microsoft - Global

    Updates are the number one thing Microsoft really need to sort out with Windows Phone, because it's a really bad setup as it is. And it certainly shouldn't be possible for carriers to delay or block updates like they have. IMO Updates should roll out the same way they do with Windows OS, I.E. All devices get the same updates at the same time. Because as it is, all it does is annoy and frustrate people on a massive scale, which is a shame because apart from that people who use Windows Phone really like it.

    It doesn't give a particularly good impression of Windows Phone when people are being bombarded with Microsoft's Cortana adverts everywhere, but when people buy a phone, not only do some of them find Cortana isn't pre-installed, but when they try to get the Denim update (to officially get Cortana in their country) they can't even install Denim because it's not actually available for their device yet. To make it worse, they also receive marketing emails saying "Lumia Denim software update. Get the best Lumia smartphone experience yet. The Lumia Denim software update is available across the entire range of Lumia smartphones running Windows Phone 8.1". I think that'd be enough to try even Ned Flanders patience.
