I carried, used and loved three generations of Windows 8/10 Phone (all at the top-end) and finally switched to Android after I dropped my Lumia and cracked the screen and Microsoft released their new high-end Windows Phone...but I couldn't buy it, they had it out there and available (kinda) but I would have to wait for it to be released to the carriers...and got tired of waiting. MS seems to have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot. Still, everything I wanted to do on Windows Phone, I could do.Gusto10 wrote:I do prefer a windowsphone over apple or andriodCaultron wrote:We'll see how extensive the upgrades are. The difference between Windows 10 service pack 99 and Windows 11 is strictly marketing.
And I think Microsoft has to give up on this common UI for PCs, tablets, and phones. All three platforms come out worse. The iPhone and the iMac have different UIs and I think that's been a strength, not a weakness. And Android, of course, isn't like anything on a PC or Mac. Windows Phone, OTOH, has been a crushing failure.
And really, who wants to run Word or Excel on a phone?
And the basic phone-based versions of Office work well enough if you need to look at a document or spreadsheet while on the move and prior to or even during a phone discussion of the material. So...it's handy, up to a point.

Wore my new khaki pencil skirt out and about today, 4-button "fly" and belt loops big enough for my trouser belt.
Also took my new Lane Bryant Ponte black jacket to the tailor to get the sleeve's hemmed up to fit. Hopefully next time I want to wear a skirt-suit I'll look better than using my Navy blazer.
