Losing faith in Windows Phone (in America)

Thanks, I will have my wife check it out. I don't use Instagram myself but have usually had reasonable luck finding third party apps for my limited needs, particularly You Tube alternatives. Hoping the bank apps come back with the unified Windows 10.

Losing faith in Windows Phone (in America)

Lost both the B of A and the Chase apps, I used both of them. Instagram wasn't even available for a while at the app store, didn't make my wife very happy. She might be done with windows phone. I'm sticking with WP for the time being, just prefer it to Android (haven't used an iPhone), but...

Have you sped up your upgrade cycle, slowed it down, or neither?

Desktop wise, slowed way down, recent history on my main work computer is 960T > 8320 > i54440. Probably not going to see any changes here for years, having said that, I might swap out the 4440 for a G3258 that has been sitting on my desk for a while now, (couldn't pass it up for $50) . My...

i3-4150 vs i5-4440

How would a g3258 (overclocked) compare to that 4440?

How Usable are these Atom tablets?

I had a venue 8 pro, liked it but returned it for an Asus vivotab note 8 for the wacom pen. I'm 62, for me the 8" screen is tough to use for office apps. Might be better when Microsoft releases Office for touch screens. Last I read is they are set to release it sometime 1st quarter of 15??

I have several Atom based tablets, the Dell Venue Pro 11 is by far my favorite. I have both keyboard types, also get about 15 hours with the one with the battery.

Are phones with removable batteries and SD card expansion slot going to continue?

I'm one of the few that prefers a Windows phone so I somewhat follow what is happening with those (Lumias anyway), not much consistency from them but at least the new 830 has both of those features. Thinking of replacing my 920 with one.

New Lumia 830 launching on AT&T

I got to check one out at the Microsoft store. Really liked it, the one thing that makes me hesitate is that the 830, from what I have read so far, will not support "hey Cortana" when it is released. If I understand correctly, of the currently available phones, only the 1520 and 930 (Icon)...

Nokia 1520 is the best phone ever..

There is actually a limited way to flash ROMs that exists now through Nokia Care Suite. I just flashed my ATT 920 to the Rodgers (Canadian) ROM. I don't know much about the functionality, probably limited to official Nokia ROM's. I'm surprised that XDA hasn't came up with something yet...

Windows 8.1 tablet on AT&T Wireless?

I'm on straight talk on AT&T's network. I use internet sharing on my Nokia 920 to connect my 8.1 tablets (and notebook) to the internet. Very workable solution for me.
