I didn't think I would be tempted away from my 930, but the specs are pretty crazy.

 

[cu3ed]

Damn..I missed the camera specs...bugger.

 

[cu3ed]

Well, you have swappable batteries now, so that's something.

 

[cu3ed]

lol...I wouldn't believe a thing TMob says, they took WP mobiles off shelves after 3 months, and people are still waiting for Lumia Black update on there mobiles.

No, This comes down to MS saying, we don't want you to handle the updates now, cause you messed up so badly..so we will be sorting it from now on, and you are to put NO kind of bloatware on out phones, AT&T said that was fine, the others are still allowed to sell the 950 range, Tmob are just trying to look like the good guys.

They have been asked several time on twitter " okay, if offered will you stock it then..yes or no definite".....yea...they havnt answered that.

 

[cu3ed]

I hope they've got something better in mind than that, all that really matters is the windows mobile user base, and sadly that's still low. I hope it rises, I really do.

Well considering MS did such a good job with Asotria that if you hack a little you can get Android Apps running natively on WIN10, Devs from them really have very little excuse.

 

[cu3ed]

I hope you're right. I just know the company I work for have said no point in developing a windows app while it has such a low user base, and I fear many companies will think like this. Again, hope I'm wrong.

Is your company UK based?...cause I think the UK install base is rather healthy for what it is.

 

[cu3ed]

Yep UK based and UK customers, maybe I should suggest they need to take another look at this.

As above, ignore worldwide share (unless its relevant to your company or what it sells, but in the EU and the UK, its been "healthy", that's being nice, but that's been years with budget phone, no advertising, no buzz and deffo no new flagship since the 930, which was a couple of years ago I think.

If they have an Android app, if you can, tell them to look into MS Astoria, it should be REALLY simple to drop most of the Droid stuff into it with minimal changes.

 

[cu3ed]

Natwest who I am also with have had an app for years and is so nice to use. I have just changed to Lloyds today but even there app looks like its just a wrapper for the mobile site. Really is no excuses for these large companies to not have apps for the 3 main platforms. (No matter if you like or hate windows phone, it is not going to go away)

I was getting a bit sick of my bank and its very old sign in for Banking that I was looking at Natwest, have to say it was nice to see they also had a top rated app in the store.
Though, it seems to be the ONLY UK bank I think?

 

[cu3ed]

So, reading about, if you change the cover, it ALSO swaps out the bevel around the edge of the Phone!

 

[cu3ed]

Presumably by liquid cooling they mean a heat pipe?

Seems like that but its a long heat pipe with liquid in it, runs the whole way up the side of the phone to about the top of the screen, a pretty significant piece of cooling for a phone.

 

[cu3ed]

Might make a change but its does seem like now their is a Surface phone in the works, cant see it arriving till mid to late next year though.

 

[cu3ed]

Now the HP is looking rather beastly!

 

[cu3ed]

The HP is looking tempting

Yep. looks really goof as in the design, wonder how much it will go for.

 

[cu3ed]

And no UK banks where seen interested that day.

Loving my XL though.

 

[cu3ed]

MS have already said they have a new high end phone in the works.

 

[cu3ed]

Thanks, i am liking it so far. Is*it worth going on the insider program? Maybe we might get the new big update month or two early.

No its not, always breaking stuff.
Went back to my 950xl after using an S7 edge for three weeks, not sure how people use it to be honest.

 

[cu3ed]

Were you on the slow or fast ring?

Was on fast for a long time, got sick of it so moved myself to Slow ring.
I wish I could get out of it altogether but MS have made the most ridiculous assault course to get out of it fully I have just left it on slow ring.

They have bungled a couple of updates in the last few months that actually breaks the update service, I know this is a testers only thing, but thats beyond incompetence.
