So the main difference is just screen size right cause its sounding like EE will be the only ones selling the XL and I'm not giving those bastards my money.
My gf is thinking she wants this and I'm trying to decide if I should get it for her for Christmas. She's most concerned about the heart rate monitor. Anyone here know if it's supposed to be pretty accurate? Especially is it accurate for things other than just long distance running where you heart-rate is pretty steady? For example, doing intervals (run 200 meters, rest, run 200 meters, rest, etc..).
Ordered mine last night from the MS store. Really hope the can add music control.
I can't download Here Maps anymore. That was the main reason I had for sticking with Nokia.
And now they are doing more generic designs with the metal band around the sides, no more cyan polycarbonate cases.
I hate to say it, but I would need to be super impressed to stay on with Windows for my next phone. More likely I'm looking at a OnePlus or maybe a Xiao Mi.
This really needed to happen a long time ago. The app situation has been the huge downfall of the platform. I moved back to the iPhone after putting up with enough of the terrible YouTube functionality. Microsoft should have never been butting heads with Google like that when their mobile platform is and was in late last place. It'd be a shame if WP didn't pick up because it has a lot of potential, especially with the music functionality.i have read that google and ms are going to make up and kiss and Google will put their service in the Windows phones.
To be fair, its Google moving the goal posts that killed the awesome YouTube app that MS had in store for WP. Google has made no effort in bringing their apps to the WP platform while MS has released high quality apps for Android. Perhaps Windows 10 will be angame changer if universal apps pickup the pace.This really needed to happen a long time ago. The app situation has been the huge downfall of the platform.

Microsoft sued Google and Motorola to make royalties off of Android sales because it wasn't enough to make money selling their own Windows Phones. Google had every right to be a prick. Microsoft started that fight, and they should have known better.To be fair, its Google moving the goal posts that killed the awesome YouTube app that MS had in store for WP.

Why you lie? How was Google letting its partners "take the flak?"Sorry that is BS. The lawsuits was for patent infringement not only by Microsoft but also Apple. Google was in a state of denial and let their partners take the flak. Whether the patents were infringed or not, that's a whole different subject. In any case, its not about who is screwing who, but doing what is right for their customers. By not releasing and sometimes hindering development Google made sure their own customers who use Google services on other platforms didn't have the best experience. Its no different to the anti-competitive practices of Microsoft in the 90's and early 00's.
