installed to my 920, and i realized a few bugs:

- if the phone goes into standby, i cant turn it back on...pressing the power button do nothing...need to press vol down + power to restart...after doing so, it still wont turn on when it goes into standby...not sure if hard reset will solve this issue...

- cant link contacts to FB...reinstalling FB app didnt solve the issue...maybe i need to uninstall --> restart --> install...

- there are two "people" app, one is just People another is "People Legacy"...live tile is working on "People Legacy", but not the new "people" app...


The OS definitely not really ready for daily driver device but it does show the new OS...
i'm liking the new Outlook and calendar, but not the hamburger menu thingy...same goes for the round contact icons...
one thing for sure, i hate the new toggle button UI...it look out of place...

overall, i feel MS is moving away from the "modern" UI they created, somehow it feel more "android-ish"...
but the OS is still in development, and nothing is finalized...but i'm keeping my finger crossed that it will come good...

been meaning to ask the same question as well. they say Nov but no exact date. i guess Msoft couldnt care less about lumia. should hv keep nokia running it.

i doubt that MS dont really care about their lumia line...
even 950 and 950xl dont have an exact launch date in the US...
while PO are only available in very limited countries...
good news is that 950 is going through sirim certification, so it could reach malaysia soon...

as you can see, the windows 10 mobile isnt really ready for prime time...so i guess that's one of the many reasons why MS dont want to commit a date to it...
can MS do better, sure it can...
but i wont go as far as saying MS couldnt care less about lumia...

if it is indeed with sirim for certification, that is indeed good news. no point getting loyalist guessing. tentative would be nice.

it is...
950 at Sirim
though i'm kinda disappointed that 950XL is not, at least for the moment...
hopefully it will turn up later...

what's the point? good softwares are limited

yes, apps are limited in Windows 10 mobile, more so those which support the continuum feature.
but at the same time, i can also see the potential.

for example, with proper virtualization software, the phone and the dock can work as good client "semi-PC", with most of the processing being done / completed at the cloud / server side.
