Why would they try to sell something like this for $700 when Windows phones is almost dead??? I gave Windows phone a couple tries and they never got it right. People depends on apps for smartphones to work. That was my reason to leave windows phone.

            AnonD-59657, 19 Aug 2016Windows phone can't play Pokemon Go.I dont think anyone plays pokemon go anymore mate.

            That aside this is still about £300 too expensive when you consider the alternatives with comparable specs being the Oneplus Three and ZTE Axon 7. Not like HP are even a premium brand or using premium materials.

                Anonymous, 19 Aug 2016who on earth would buy this for 700!? This could a great device for an actual, working professional who travels and is a 'mobile worker'. If you want to play Pokeman and send Instagram pictures of your breakfast and snapchat with other teenagers, buy something else. I suspect that most mobile professionals are, like me, in the Sales arena. For us, email is king, powerpoint is queen, contact management is the pope, and almost every other app we need to access like salesforce.com is accessed through a web browser. Contacts management is absolutely atrocious on iOS, and not much Android. (and those Instagram-style apps keep stealing into your contacts). It is so much easier to have it consolidated into a single device that is backed up automatically and has secure biometrics. I don't need a toy. I need a tool to help me make money and support my family.

                                      Yeah, like they pushed the 950 and 950XL. Put a fork in it, Microsoft is out of mobile phone business. They committed suicide.

                                        Naturally of course all the 117 people waiting for this smartphone are very dissapointed, and rightfully so!
