Did you get the RT or Surface 2? There is a fairly massive difference in speed between the two. Like i said, the apps are missing, but snap view multitasking, a "desktop" browser and full USB port makes it fairly unique among ARM tablets http://*********/9VYf5MWyTn8 this guys videos...

RT is not going away because Modern UI is not going away. Microsoft is simply gambling on RT piggybacking on X86s huge install base to boost app count There are clear advantages of RT: A stick to keep Intel in check, no legacy bloat, no X86 malware, easy to use for non-techies. Its superior...

I think its really dissapointing that Apple is being cheap here considering the price and the margins they have on the Retina Mini. With that said i still wouldnt buy the Nexus 7 It has absolutely horrible QC. I exchanged 3 different ones that all suffered from the touchscreen issue (i know...

Those are official numbers from quarterly results. However you cant just look at % increases in volume, you also need to look at the average selling price of their phones and their margins. Sony said in the conference call that their ASP has been going up indicating that while they dont move a...

Nokia isnt profitable, they have been losing money every quarter. They have been playing a desperate game by selling phones cheap with almost no margins in order to increase marketshare. They have basically the lowest ASP of the "name" smartphone vendors and would have gone bankrupt eventually...

Brian Klug is the guy who does the phone reviews for Anandtech. And according to his twitter N5 does have GRAM It also has Qualcommms new envelope tracker (Note 3 also has it) that makes LTE run 30% cooler and draws 20% less power

100 GB Google Drive coming with 4.4?

Enough with the strawmen and appeal to authority arguments. Its irrelevant what i do or where i get my information from. Either debate the subject or dont but this is silly. Did i say the Skype app no longer works on WP7? What does killing software mean in the tech world? The vast majority of...

Uh what? MS is ending support next year and they already killed Skype on it. And native apps for WP8 dont run on WP7, the platform is dead no matter how you want to spin it The issue is not wether or not you need to close apps. That has already been settled by Microsoft since they included a...

HTC is the first OEM to update to 4.3. So yes their reputation has improved. And since you post on this forum, i assume you are tech savvy enough to realize its unfair to compare a product you bought 3 years ago to something you bought last year. Things change And your Droid Incredible also...

Its pretty dishonest to compare a Droid from 2010 to a WP 2012 product as an example of how Microsoft is better at OS updating. I know it has been swept under the rug by now but there was an OS called WP 7 wich was essentially abandoned by MS, thats probably a more fitting comparison considering...

Because its still lacking in basic functions that should have been there at launch. And the next update to implement some of these functions is spring 2014. Belfiore seems think having a kids corner is more important than a basic function like rotation lock or notifications. When your OS has...

Lumia 928 had a response time of 117ms in the test linked by OP

I havent tried the latest Nokias but the Lumia 800 had downright shameful quality, they bought in a bunch of them for my work and most of them had various issues. The quality between them and my old beaten down N95 was like night and day
