I have a Nokia Lumia Icon and love it. I’ve never had trouble finding an app I actually needed. I’m on Verizon so my next windows phone is non-existent. I hoped to get the 950 with a docking station but Verizon doesn’t support it. My next hope is the Surface phone. Verizon will probably not support that either. I’m dreading the day I will be forced to go Android or Apple. I don’t like the UI in either.
I love my Lumia Windows Phone on Verizon and also hoping for Surface Phone. I’ve noticed over the past few years that PC World articles are anti-PC and anti-Microsoft.
Loved my Icon - when it came out that camera was stunningly better than other phones. Plus it’s a beast that took so much of my careless abuse. I’d be using it still but went over to ATT to get the 950, which has been great and as rugged as the Icon, including taking a nasty bicycle fall. The photos/video on the 950 are brilliant.
I’m all in on Win 10, Office 365, and OneDrive, which fully support my business functions across all my devices (950, laptop, desktop, and Surface 3 LTE). MS has done a great job covering all the basic needs of a phone user, especially for business, so if there is an app gap here I don’t know it.
The only trouble I’ve had w/ the 950 is that cellular-wifi handover is sometimes shaky when I walk away from the house, as it wants to cling to the weakening wifi signal and so doesn’t allow cell to take over the data connection. This only bothers me if I’m streaming a podcast or radio station. If the podcast is already downloaded, not an issue.
Windows Phone 10 is an excellent product.
I did need to put my 950XL on ATT, although I delayed for months. But one day my Icon wouldn’t connect a call, so I had to use my daughter’s 950. That was it. I switched. I pay $45 a month pre-pay for 6G a month of LTE. I was paying ~$58 a month for 2G with Verizon.
