[NOTE: This one is for the techies, especially those evaluating Windows 10 Previews]
Microsoft has released Build 10136 of Windows 10 Mobile, part of the “One Windows” wave set to be released later this year.
Windows 10 for PCs is due on 29 July, but the phone version is likely to follow later. It's just as well, since this build still does not feel release-ready, though progress from the last build is dramatic and the operating system now looks better and works more smoothly.
The main deficiencies are with performance overall, and bugs in specific apps. Performance is inconsistent; on first installation of the update the test phone (a Lumia 830) was slow and jerky, but part of the problem was that most of the apps were still installing, even essentials that you think of as built-in.
Even after leaving the phone overnight, the beta Store showed 29 pending downloads and it took some coaxing to get the downloads to complete.
Once done, performance matched the claims of Microsoft Insider head Gabe Aul: “App launch performance is slower on 10136 than 8.1, we’re tuning that. Overall performance should be on par or better.”
According to Aul’s official post the main changes in this build are “fit and finish”, and it is true that there are many fewer instances of chopped off text or other obvious faults in the OS and its key apps – though I did spot “View Calend” if you use Outlook in portrait view.

If you spot any backdoors let us know. Gates and the current administration are co-conspirators on Common Core / Muzzie infiltration brainwashing techniques so it stands to reason he will give them back door access to this version of Windows too.
Got my notice yesterday. I think I’ll install it on the 520 and see what happens before installing it on my 920.
