Not surprised. Pro American till the end.

And the rumor about 2 high end phones appear to be real. Both the Verge and Engadget are reporting it to be true.

Who on earth puts their phone in their back pockets? Front pockets, sure, but back?

We're talking about the same brand that only sells decently in Europe, right?

And the same brand that has never released a flagship in the US that didn't come as a carrier exclusive?

A phone in the back pocket is just asking to be broken.

Interested to see what they look like. Not sure how I like the removable back plate, but sd card slot is nice.

with the ability to easily bring ios apps and android apps, and those rumored specs for the new flagship phones, I may be making a return to windows phone this fall/winter.

What would you do if you had an upgrade now?

I think I may upgrade to a G4 if I don't hear anything new.

Still holding on to a Galaxy S3. Two complaints are the keyboard and camera.

I've had an upgrade since like November, but there was nothing worth upgrading to. I am one of those 920 users whose contacts were up but had nothing to upgrade to.

My 920 was starting to have issues, so I bought a one plus one for the time until there is something I can consider upgrading to from Microsoft.

I've got an upgrade now and I'm waiting. Heck, my 1020's screen is destroyed and I'm using a 635 currently. And you know what, very little difference in day to day for me except for the camera, lol.

I might join you after the finals are over. 1020 battery is dying on me.

I don't understand why the 2 flagship phones have a different processor. Makes no sense.

Variety to familiarize devs? Price?

BeforeU · May 5, 2015

Since now Microsoft is making their own hardware, is it too much to ask from Microsoft to do worldwide release? Unlocks phones available in Microsoft store and also with contract with carriers like Apple do with iPhone.

They'll do a global release just like they did with the Zune, Xbox and Band...

You sound very confident. Based on what? and Band is only available in states. Not sure about Zune.

I don't think Zune ever got released officially outside US. Apparently Band is available in UK since last month, but nowhere else.

My point was that Microsoft has made their own hardware for decades, but they have never had a global launch as a priority.

I don't see it. If they want to release a 940 & 940XL as rumoured, it would make sense to have the same processor, seeing as all the other rumoured specs are also identical (camera, screen res, storage, SD card support etc.).

Not it likely makes any discernible difference whether you're using a hekta or okta-core processor, apart from possibly battery life, of course. But from a marketing point of view, people will see the phone with the superficially better processor as the "true" flagship and the other one as inferior. Even though that is bollocks.

Special C · May 5, 2015

Seriously Microsoft, get those Surface pro hardware wizards working on phones. NOW

Battery life is probably the reason. Bigger phone can have bigger battery.

So new Lumia Camera drops the Dolby Digital 5.1 references.

Why? So it's no longer AC-3 and instead it will be LPCM?

I can't believe that Sky filed an name infringement against MS with Skype! Complete bullshit that it worked against SkyDrive.

I though they had to be within the same field for name infringements to actually mean anything. And, I don't think I've ever mistaken Skype for Sky... honestly, Skype is probably more famous outside of the UK than Sky is so, Sky is the one that's infringing.

Oh FFS. How the hell do you rename Skype without it sounding generic or stupid as hell. All the good names are already taken and all the other ones would only detriment the service

SCHUEY F1 said:

Will this fly like the SkyDrive complaint? It is not as if Skype is a new service or anything like that. Even so, what would they accomplish? I don't believe they will launch a new messaging service.

Opus Angelorum · May 5, 2015

Sky as usual can fuck right off. Horrible company with an ever growing monopoly on almost everything.

LG midrange phone on Verizon will be competing directly with the Lumia 735 midrange when both are released. Why release 2 midrange WP phones Verizon?
