So has a release date been pinned yet? I tried Google searching around and couldn't turn up anything. I don't have much interest in purchasing either device at the moment, but I can't wait to read reviews/impressions on them.

Sad but true. Back at the launch of 8, it had so much potential. You'd actually find a person on the street or two using a Windows Phone. The outlook is so bleak now that it's hard to be excited either way. It's a two-horse race of Android(Samsung)/iOS(Apple). The little surprises in between are rapidly vanishing, as metrics have shown. But there will always be dozens of us, until it literally is dozens.
Some new Lumia 950 shots from an MS employee, looking good!
And I don't even like Stockholm...
The colours are just excellent. Vibrant but realistic.
Would be nice to see some full resolution images, but I think there's no reason not to be very excited about this camera.
Have fun with your tablet camera, Surface Phone suckers.

So the Blackberry Perv will be on both ATT and Verizon store shelves? WTF Microsoft.
In the process I found out that they're giving you 200 quid if you trade in your Surface RT or Surface 2.
My gf wants one, we have one RT and a 2 lying around - if I sell my SP3 on Ebay and order 2 SP4's I basically get one 128gb i5 free of charge.
Also means I'll have given Microsoft 3 grand in the space of a week for 2 phones and 2 tablets. Fucking hell.

Gut feeling and whatnot, but I feel that people bitching about Surface prices being too high are not really in the market for one of them. They are either misinformed consumers who'd be better served by a conventional laptop/ultrabook or trolls craving attention.
That doesn't mean that Microsoft shouldn't release a 128GB i5 version with 8GB of RAM or an m3 8GB version, because FUCK that 8GB price jump. Making you dole a €400 extra because you just need a 2015-like amount of RAM is some sales tactics dickery.

While 32 GB of storage isn't great, it should be enough for people who want to use it as their digital sketch board. 799 for that isn't outright terrible or anything. What really makes it suck is the extra stylus for 99 bucks and that horrible, horrible keyboard cover for another 169. And, of course, the fact that it screams gen 1 and looks hacked together.
You're a very brave person.
The only thing that really sucks about this year's Surface Pro pricing is the higher price of the base model (849 vs 999). And yes, fuck that price jump from 1099 to 1449.

Whatever account you're looking at will be the default from address.
If you add an event and choose your work calendar, that's the calendar it will automatically choose for the next event.
Basically, the calendar you used last is the default calendar in that sense.
The previous Mail app had it but they removed it for some idiotic reason.

From the Mail App? No, it defaults to the parent address.

Oh wow, Cortana mobile and the win10 version finally talk to each other. I made a reminder on PC earlier, then just now Cortana called out from my Android phone letting me know that I had a new reminder. Nice!

Pretty much the only reason I hate the current Mail app. I have to juggle different aliases in my account, and the only place I can do it is from the webpage. It's annoying that they haven't introduced this in 10 as both WP8 and WP8.1 lack this, and the Windows 8.1 app had it.

One of us should make the OT whenever it comes out.

Someone should rather port this OT to Android.
It does learn, but it also pulls the predictions from the servers, like SwiftKey. SwiftKey can be downright scary with its predictions. Also, he pulled that image from WMPU, who in return stole the idea for that image from Tom Warren.

Has anyone tried the microsoft android launcher Arrow? This seems to be the right thread to ask
I gave it a go. It has potential but needs better performance and customization options.
I like Microsoft's Next Lockscreen on Android.
I wouldn't worry about it it doesn't work anyway. Not only does it not pull my SMS messages it doesn't even grab my Skype conversations. Literally the app is empty when I open it. And when I try to send a text it doesn't even have my contacts available, or skype contacts.
2, 4, and 5 are great.
I haven't even bothered trying it. I don't personally find that feature useful. My phone is pretty much always at a moment's reach.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Gave it a week, didn't like it. Too limiting, didn't see anything special about it. The lockscreen was better, but all the actions were the opposite of what you would expect (swipe right to dismiss, etc.) So I ditched it too.
I could definitely find uses for it, real keyboard > touch screen. And not having to unlock my phone to send the message, which of late as mentioned earlier has been slightly aggravating.

This one always works.
