      the windows resignations make absolutely no sense to me so i quit trying to keep up. the 1520 is an older model and the 950 is better but only if you get the xl and the 650 is better than the 850 yet the 640 is the lowest and is used for a go phone with no flash or front camera and grainy camera. will they ever get their proverbial ducks in a row ???

I have account in 3 bank(SBI, HDFC, ICICI) and have WP app for all 3 bank. Banking/Insurance app are region specific and company will force to create app based on market share. Know the fact before talking. I would suggest not to buy windows phone if the must need app you are using not available in WP.

The Windows Phone 8.1-esque screenshot is actually a shot of an external application that still uses the Windows Phone 8.1 design language rather than the new Windows 10 Mobile design language. Looking at the second screenshot you'll see it's Windows 10 Mobile's Settings.

                      As nice as apps are they are vunerable to security issues, the actual bank webiste has much greater security and if i were to use my phone to bank it wouldnt ever be through an app.

                      i am not a child who cant remeber and enter a few security details and numbers to access through the web, and i have full functionality via the web... so why do i need an app?

                      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Same goes for facebook and 99% of these other apps people "say" are missing.
                      only slect few apps like snapchat are affected where you cant access via the web browser.


                      As for Games there are deleays and non releases for windows, but there are plenty of other xbax titles whcih are amazing to play on.
                      Also generally there are less adds to WP, and with the restirictions withing the SW (where they cant steal all your other data form your phone while the app is on, or use cameras mics ect to spy on you) is the real reason most apps were never made for windows, even when it had much higher market share.

                              Gotta love a 5.4" phone that approaches a 6" phone in height _while_ losing the capacitive buttons. It makes no sense. When will sanity return to phone designs?

                                  Wait, what? I thought MS announced they would only make 3 phones a year? Enthusiast, Business and Midrange classes. Does this just slide into the midrange as a size option?
