I hate Windows Central on my phone. I need a fucking adblocker to be able to scroll down or something.
It's funny when the website about Windows and phones doesn't work properly on WP8.1's IE

But I want my 1020 successor this year.

Does Microsoft actually want to compete with any other market that isn't the bottom-of-the-barrel? Shouldn't there be a flagship product this year?
I'm in for the bigger of the two.
Did you miss the two flagships just 4 posts above you?

TBF, those flagships could very well be 2016 if W10 Mobile gets delayed
We really don't have any solid release dates to go on.

We're just lucky to be getting a flagship at this point.
Why would usb-c be needed for Continuum? I sure as hell won't have a monitor with usb-c for a while.

I hope it'll work over miracast, otherwise I can't see myself using it.

It doesn't surprise me that they would include Type C for the new flagships. It gives them the possibility of forgoing an HDMI out (Continuum) and selling accessories like Apple with the new MacBook. I completely expect the new Surface Pro with one or two of them, and any new high end phones to include it.
What I didn't expect is for them to make a successor for the 1020, as it is a niche market. Although 2016 is too late for me, any advancements in camera technology are appreciated.
I think they confirmed that back at Build.

Considering that Windows 10 on phones is shipping later than everything else and it seems like they want to launch these new devices w/ 10 instead of 8.1, I think 2016 is more realistic.
If we even get one. These rumors mean nothing to me anymore.

has calmed down a bit.
I wish I had gotten the 1020 successor this year, in definitely not going back to the platform this year, and if the platform doesn't bounce back, then I guess the 930 was my last WP.
Grab a Win10 tablet to play with Win10 till the mobile team release an actual phone.

That Qualcomm CPU SoC spec translates to:
Snapdragon 808
Snapdragon 810
Not surprising at all since carriers choose Qualcomm for time to market (i.e. specs are all approved to use).
That's one cool fucker... geez...
This is entirely off-topic, but OneNote's handling of languages is just infuriating. I have both English and German configured. How hard is it to figure out if I'm writing English or not? Even in the same fucking section it can't remember the language I've manually selected for corrections.

Was gifted a Bluetooth selfie stick. Box says compatible with most smartphones. My Lumia 830 cant even connect to a $10 device cuz it doesn't have Update 2 and full Denim.
Windows Phone, playing catch up since cut and paste.

You're better off. I have an outstanding policy of beating Selfie Stick users with their sticks.

Bruh, my CORPORATE selfie stick is cabled and it doesn't even work with my Lumia 920.

Get a 830 for cheap. It's camera is serviceable, looks and feels premium, and has wireless charging.
Only when I can get one that has full AT&T LTE compatibility and Qi brand new for $200.

This Google convo is being yawn inducing so far.
Qi optional for me, but I definitely need ATT LTE. I had LTE back in 2011 with my GS2 Skyrocket, not going back to HSPA+
Yeah and I can't help but think that it's another way to datamine people whenever they show a new feature.
Whenever Google has a keynote, I can but feel that they are just so far ahead of everyone else in virtually anything they do.
More than a billion users for Android, Chrome, Youtube, Search. And gmail is pretty close, too, at twice the size of outlook.com.
Microsoft will soon make Cortana available via an Android app? Google is injecting Google Now into every Android app. You just can't match that.
If I were a car manufacturer, I'd be very afraid of Google's car...
(and if I were the EU or the FCC, I'd keep a veeery close eye on them)

I'd be very afraid of Google's car as well....but for different reasons.

First update would allow for steering from Android Wear. And it'd be glorious.

already have them, so...
(with shitty Android builds)
Sounds exciting.
That was one hell of a boring keynote. I literally fell asleep lol
Almost couldn't finish The Verge's "Google I/O in 10 minutes" lol
Some pretty cool stuff actually. Google Now is much more powerful, and Photos is very impressive, with unlimited storage and all. App flies on my iPhone, which is generally not the case with Google apps lol.
The speakers, however, are dread awful. I guess my bar is set too high: Apple WWDC keynotes. You just can't beat Hair Force One!

Barring the Google Now thing and any Apple surprises, it seems like Build will be the most interesting conference out of the three. So this year is going to be boring compared to the overhauls of the last releases.

ask for an iphone.
Strongly considering it, if the price for the ATT model is reasonable considering the specs... Might be a good holdover until that rumored 1020 successor in 2016, not sure if I want to live out the summer with this measly 635, or my less battery efficient 920.
