Fuck I'm already on the fence and android almost has me. All I really need is an SD that will be able to hold 256 once those exist but my 920 was so nice.
I just feel like Surface phone will be announced by summer and out this time next year.

Didn't you get the memo? It was canceled and now Panos Panay and his team are starting to develop a new one.

I think all of them can. I bought a Lumia 640 XL to my brother and the phone is great.

Well the Xioami Mi 4 has a Windows Mobile 10 rom available for some selective group, which will be public at the end of the year, so I guess some will tinker around with it.

OP can you post a screenshot of music app? Currently it's the only thing that refrains me from getting a Windows Phone. I had 620 for years and I was quite happy with it, until WP 8 happened and music app was rekt.
Also, ClearBlack display is the best I've seen on outdoor performance.

This is how my music app looks. It's the same app but using system theme.
Groove supports FLAC, but not TTA+CUE. So I had to convert the albums from the TLMC from tta to level 8 FLAC. Space isn't a big deal since I have a 200GB mini sdxc card

I just realized it has no capacitive buttons. That's a shameful shame.

What do you mean?
Groove Music is the default music app and has heavy integration with the OS. For reference, it used to be called xbox music.
>>51642947
>heavy integration
Although this doesn't mean other apps can't duplicate Microsoft 's efforts. Just that it's a fine example of using the api for music players.

Enjoy having no apps, and shit apps where they do exist. Even the nice parts about WP like the design is being replaced with Android clone apps, might as well use Android. At least with Android you get apps and Google services.

If you don't mind the lack of Apps, and prefer the MS botnet over the Apple tax or the Google botnet, you did great.

Install Readit son. It costs a couple dollars but it's so very worth it. I miss it so much since switching to Blackberry.

Why yes I have the paid version installed and use it quite often but I won't post a selfie here. This isn't /b/
Also neat thing I just discovered.
When you plug in headphones it will ask you what it should do next time you plug them in like"open Groove" and which apps may use the headphones instead of the speaker and even use the mic of the headphones

Check out the Gadgets app.
It can show you the geographic location of things you've connected to your phone. Ironically, since the majority of these things are Bluetooth they'll be in the same location, but if you have a car with Bluetooth you'll probably be able to locate it with that app

Does Groove forcefully arrange your music by artist/album, rather than folders/files? Xbox music did that and it was VERY annoying, there was no way to listen to a complete "Various artists" album.
>>51647740
It still somewhat does it but it also list them as VA
How much was it? I need something to go along with my LG G3, I really like the Win phones they seem fast for the hardware. Can't I get a 940 for like 50 bucks? Also yes, having no 4chan app sucks, I'm use to browsing 4chan with clover

Great for you I guess, but with all the spying found in desktop Windows 10 I don't think you want to own a WP device (or Android device for that matter) if you care about your privacy.
Personally I blame Google and their success with monetizing Android trough data mining and ads for setting up a bad example Microsoft is now following.

Yes,I remember when u set up my phone and downloaded/updated 60 apps while charging I got a pop up "the device is overheating, the screen will now turn off to cool it down, I'd you keep using your phone it might shut down" it went to glance screen mode, after like 5 minutes everything was cool enough again
>>51652677
It's quite easy when without triggering one handed mode.
Go ahead and tap and hold the Windows button it will trigger the one handed mode. To exit it just wait like 5 seconds or tap the free space. Pic related

I was an early adopter of Windows Phone 7, and Microsoft screwed me over.
I'm still on 7.5 because my phone isn't compatible with 8 or newer, so I have to buy a new phone for a software upgrade.
The problem is, though, none of the current Windows Phones have what I'm looking for.
>>51653376
7.5? Don't you mean 7.8? I have an HTC HD7 which got an update to 7.8 so it's compatible with WP8.x apps
>>51653459
Nope. My phone didn't get the 7.8 update.
>>51653481
That's bad. But you should try the 640. It's cheap, has good specs and will get the WM10 update in the first wave
>>51652882
Cant even post pictures straight from the phone. Larger than 4mb
>>51653570

I don't want a phone that big, honestly.

And that's too big, too.
4" screen is what I'm looking for. 4.5" at the most. I'd like the phone to be 5" (total) or less.
>>51653913
Even the Z3C/Z5C and iPhone 6/6S are ~4.7". You'd have to get an iPhone 5S if you want a screen that tiny. Or some super low end phone. Unless the rumours of a 4" iPhone 6C come to fruition.

Don't give a sit about most apps really. The new integrated Maps takes the best of HERE and makes it better.

It has a 4chan app so I can dumb mobilepost.

Even my old piece of shit Saturn didn't wear out that badly.
>>51655031
im not the owner of that car but you can clearly see the steering wheel has one of those leather covers that are sold on walmart for like 20 bucks, and the wear mark is just the cover adaptating to the form of the wheel, that's why it looks so shitty and deformed f.a.m
>>51655031
it's a piece of shit steering wheel cover i got from walmart for a few bucks. It's pretty shitty. The normal wheel is just too thin for my hands. Thanks for reminding me to get a new cover
>>51654966
i personally like the design of the 830 more.I also really like that image. can I save it?
>>51655122
I can still see the steering wheel under the cover, genius. Look around the spokes on both sides. This looks more like the steering wheel on a car with twice the mileage.
complaints so far (mainly software)

The surface phone is being designed by the surface team so hopefully it should be really slick. Also rumoured to be x86. If it ends up being shite I'll just stick with my oneplusone

in Europe you can take it back for 14 days and they have to give back your money.
that's the best option you have here.
ps.: I have a dozen of Android devices and even I would pick an iPhone over this any day or year.

You can install WP launchers (there are plenty of them) from the Play Store.
Do you even Android nigger?
Hell there are custom roms that look like WP.
Oh wait...

because WP uses the very long animations - like how iOS hid it's sluggishness.
even the SD810 is just a mobile chip.
(and quite a shit one, SD820 is around the corner and it fixed all the flaws - imagine the perf increase)
tl;dr: you either show a loading symbol, or fucking long animations. Android uses swift animations and occasional loading indicators (like that animated loading circle.)
You did breddy gud, OP. I'm looking for a reason to upgrade to 950, but seriously, W10M is plenty fast even on this old 625.

OP here it's fast on my 735 too but I just wanted to get one since I saw the forst renders and spec sheets so I bought one
I wanna get into Windows Phone again, is the 640XL worth it? Also, are there any CBR/CBZ readers for WP?

I can't imagine it would be incredibly difficult to make a 4chan app from scratch.
The APIs are all there, you don't even have to do webm shit yourself.
Problem is UI design. We've pretty much proven that basically no one on /g/ can do it right.

Windows 10 Mobile apps don't have animations.
They have real loading screens.
Take Wolfram Alpha. It's one of the longer loading ones.
Stop talking shit out of your ass.
