Thanks for posting this Assasin's. I like the third-party integration in the messaging hub (perhaps no need to open whatsapp and skype and FB messenger), the quick reply and almost everything. Hope all of these features can run on low end WP as well.

Let see if MS can come out with the implementation. Otherwise they would not list it as a "third party integration". Third party here means other besides MS. Right now even Android and iOS do not have this feature. If WP has it then it will become a unique selling feature. Google Hangout only integrates sms with google's own gtalk.

Sorry about that, that was my mistake. Currently it's limited to just Skype. Microsoft says it’s only going to support carrier messaging services, SMS, and Skype with this tight integration, so don’t expect to see WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger appear in the Windows 10 for phones messaging app. (Source)

I was about to get excited about the feature! Thanks for clarifying. But otherwise all other features are also good. Voice dictation, can it support other languages besides English?

I suspect it's using Cortana voice recognition, so it'll probably support whatever language Cortana supports.

I can see the design is inconsistent across the OS.
The title bar (the top portion of an app) design is vary even by Microsoft app. Just compare Phone and Outlook from the image above and you'll know what I mean.

However the other addition is of course nice. thumbup.gif
