Your 930 isn't supposed to be running windows 10 yet so whatever dodgy source you got it from should have told you it was running beta software. My 930 is running 8.1 buttery smooth.

AnonD-2626, 13 Jan 2016Are you high? Windows 10 mobile is nowhere near as good as ... moreBusiness phone? Are you kidding me? It doesn't have any banking apps I can use, it doesn't have any taxi service I can use, I was looking for printer on the go, but none of them support windows 10. Also I had to buy fitness tracker based whether it's supported by my phone or not(bought Fitbit one, cause it seemed to work fine in reviews, turns out doesn't synchronize well with my Lumia, I had to use my laptop for it anyway). Also doesn't even have properly working Facebook app, 2,8/5 star for the biggest social network with horrible reviews, not to mention lack of snapchat. Also you can't call via Facebook messenger app, you're forced to use Skype ,smooth move by MS. And don't even get me started on convenient little apps for TVs(LG) and my home stereo(Sony and Pioneer). I know that alot of manufactures don't care about windows, so why should I?:) Been using Lumia 930 for couple months now, the phone is great, built quality is outstanding(thanks Nokia) but software wise - nothing ,but disappointment...(btw.had to write it twice,tried to minimize keyboard, but phone registered as double tap and turns out there's no forward button on MS Edge, thanks MS for finding new ways to disappoint)

I keep wanting to root for Windows in the mobile space, I think we need a strong, viable, 3rd option in the market. Microsoft however, are just plainly not up to the job of making it such.

2. Lack of apps? Top ten most used app are available on Windows. Others are available from 3rd party sources. However, if you are talking about useless apps such as who-knows-what underground social network or games, then you are right. You won't find many of those in the Store, and frankly they're not needed anyway. Windows is aimed at business people who work on the go and need an efficient, stable and fast OS to do their work on it.
3. Youtube

Glance Screen >> LED notification

I'm using Lumia 930 with windows 10 and it's "lagging" far behind any iOS or Android flagship in terms of pretty much anything. The lack of apps is quite depressing. Smooth interface - yes, but other than that is has nothing going on to elevate Windows 10 device over its competitors. After updating to windows 10 I have famous bug where I can't record any video with sound(worked fine with windows 8.1 denim), Try to download some apps - half just doesn't even download, cause it's still incompatible with newer version of windows. Facebook app is petty much broken, no YouTube or snapchat apps. It's a fucking mess. And lack of simple LED light convenience is mind boggling, fuck me for trading G3 over this 930 crapfest.

The selfie-taking model on the picture, look at how forced her smile is. That's the optimum smile setting available for anyone using such a clunky and attention-draining (yet in a corny way) oversized flint(stone)phone.

Oh...you can't, because you have to move the phone, wave your hand over it or stare at it for a few minutes until the screen lights up. Unless you want your battery quickly drained by keeping the screen on all the time. Good joke, though.

Get it to $400 and $500 and maybe. At the current price, no thanks.

Translate thsee figures in to $US and is a pricey windows phone.
Considering the lack of apps, customizability, compatability & features I don't consider it a 'bargain' by any stretch of the imagination.

AnonD-234961, 12 Jan 2016Still outrageously expensive for what it offers. What do you mean? It offers more than 99% of any of the phones currently on the market.
Not to mention that it uses Windows 10 which is far more advanced and optimized than Android is.
Currently, the only good mobile phone operating systems are iOS and Windows. Android is last due to bugs, dated UI, missing smart features, stability, performance, resources usage, etc.
