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 can feel my jealousy starting to ooze as I type. I was on the Verizon page daily just waiting for a 950. It never came. My next hope will be the Surface phone. I feel that Verizon will let me down again. It will be very hard to step backwards if my Icon dies.

I’ve learned to turn off my Wi-Fi and make sure I’m streaming before I leave the house. I actually got into that habit with the Icon because when it switched it dumped whatever I was connected to, like iHeart radio.
