Windows 10 for Phone

[Voicon]

I'm not sure, I just tried looking in the current build changes and this isn't listed. Also I can't find any information about changes in the next build. prob because msft are still working on it.

Tweet Joe belfiore, from what I have seen he is pretty good at responding to questions about wp10.

Thanks!

Microsoft are basically giving these away to Enterprise customers but they need to provide enterprise features to go along with them.

You do realize WhatsApp Web works with Windows phones too yeah?

To be fair I went back to WP recently, a 930. It's fine but I certainly miss android...and my android wear watch! I'll probably be holding onto the 930 as a back up though should I feel the need to properly test Windows 10 when it's out...with hopefully a nice selection of apps

There's a WhatsApp app for WP now? I did not know that.

All they need is YouTube and I might be able to survive.

I really want a windows phone but I dont like the lack of google services. Is that going to change any time soon with gmail and google maps etc..

Unlikey, google rufuse to make them, or let ms make them.
You don't need maps anyway. Nokia ones are better.

Unlike, google rufuse to make them, or let me make them.

Without a doubt and even more so when you include the HERE services! Here transport/drive +/city lens.

To be honest WP gave me the chance to move over to all the MS alternatives and they are doing one hell of a better job.

Shame really, given MS give android all of their best stuff including the mobile versions of word etc now.

Is anyone installing the W10 tech preview today when it gets released?

I definitely am! Cant wait for it, this will keep me distracted for a few hours anyway

 

[Glaucus]

Didn't realise they announced a date let alone today.

That's probably best, the insider app is just displaying connection error for most people as I reckon, most people are hammering the get preview button lol (including me but I just gave up till later on this evening)

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts please gents. Windows mobile is the one OS I did not give enough of my time to!

 

[GAM8LE]

here are some known issues with this build(near the bottom)

Just read that office isn't included in this. Hmmm, I use office a lot. Meh, will give it a shot and see anyway

Bah, getting a server connection error

 

[GAM8LE]

Bah, getting a server connection error

Yeah unfortunately its an issue at the moment.

If you were upgrading from the previous w10 build - you can do it fine.

If you are starting fresh - it will take about 1.5 hours for msft to resolve the issue with the servers.

 

[GAM8LE]

Available now. Msft put more resources online.

Time to take the plunge! Will report back soon

 

[Spleen Sauce]

Not available for the 930 again which is a shame

Yup, the 930 IS the icon and its available for that, laughable how the current flagship gets left out again ffs.

 

[Glaucus]

It's because it doesn't work on the 930 theres a conflict with the hardware atm.
It's also a preview, it's not like it dint be updated to win 10.
