    Windows 10 doesn't have features so people don't buy it
    People don't demand features so Windows 10 doesn't have features

    It is like Windows 10 apps

      Double tap to wake is useless, especially on devices that now have a fingerprint sensor. What's the point? It's just a big old battery drain.

                Should have been there from the start... Especially with the size of the XL, where do I sign up?

                  Please give us tap tap to wake up my 950XL. Had it on my other phone and loved it. Way better than Pin/Iris/Thumb print etc.
                  Also, would really appreciate Groove music to have function to tick or un-tick songs in my library so as if I get bored with certain songs I can un-tick them so they don't play during shuffle etc. Just like with i-tunes.

                    Support for Double-Tap to Wake is still present - but now hidden. How very sleazy, to silently disable a significant Windows Phone feature, then make users beg to get it back...

                      kind of funny how a useful feature first seen on Nokia phones is a rare commodity now under Microsoft, while other manufacturers saw the importance of it and have them it their models (with widely welcomed results). So much so that they are waiting for user input to hopefully implement on their "flop-sh(ee)t" device, when there isn't anything stopping them to do it in the first place!!

                      How i see it they are essentially trying to reduce their attractiveness to consumers, killing their dying platform, and at the same time saying they won't be giving up (killing Nokia probably).

                      M$'s thinking is just.... counter-intuitive.
