Apps are not a problem for me. But the W10M is still buggy. They still have lot of fine tuning to do. Specially it is very hard to imagine a productivity focused OS with bad email and browser app.

But I think Windows phone will gain market slowly because of the beautiful and easy to use new UI of W10M. But it will be hard to use for people who are already used to Android and iOS.

      AnonD-75819, 31 Dec 2015Crap. I also have a Lumia 1020. Yes it can capture moon but... moredon't blame the camera if u didn't know how to use it. the setting slider ring on lumia camera is very useful for the people who know how to use it. i got the picture moon surface taken with lumia 1020. learn to capture before commenting something that u didn't know. what do you expected? it's >2 years old device and it still can handle that huge resolution pictures though it takes time. for me, i'm willing to wait 2 sec processing image with the result is much better than other phones can do. There is no gimmick for pureview devices u can try compare the output result compare to non pureview devices here in photo and video compare tool.

          AnonD-428442, 31 Dec 2015If MS is confident about the strong demand, then release th... moreTHey are not that stupid to say they have strong demand if they only sold out such a few number of units. AND I do believe and it is a FACT that their CEO and the people on managing this lumia sales whatsoever received higher education than most of us here. So please stop acting like you're smarter than anybody else.Thank you.

                              I have this phone for the past two weeks. Initially software bugs kind of ticked me off but after the upgrade, I feel it has become smoother. It has all the apps I needed and I have it in my Android or iOS ecosystems be it ecommerce, classifieds, document scanners, secure wallet, cloud storage, social networking, chatting(I like GroupMe) etc...Excellent display, IRIS scanner is good (sometimes it asks you to come closer etc..). I love its other major advantages such as Dual SIM, Removable Battery, Wireless Fast Charging, USB C, Expandable storage, AMOLED screen....

                              I have heard people complaining about Maps, Camera but for me Camera seems to be the best of all so far ( I have Note 5, iPhone 6 Plus, Nexus 6P).

                              Continuum I tried it with my Microsoft Wireless Display adapter but I do not find any major advantage as such since I do have Microsoft Laptop connected to my LG Widescreen monitor. But it could be an useful feature for many.

                              All in all, this is an expensive one for sure but it is equivalent in terms of its features and functionalities with most of the major players. One may feel it as plastic but for me it is not major

                                That's just marketing BS, one of every 20 smartphone users has a Windows device, it`s not a good platform because it is not OPEN like Android is. M$ has built an OS that is more like iOS where you have to pay for everything extra and are stuck with basically no customization of your theme, apps or basically anything, which is totally uninspired.

                                  I can't believe this because their app store has NO APPS.
                                  Atleast BlackBerry is better because you can download Android apps .
