New Lumia device (Windows?) incoming

Recommended Posts

I picked up the Go Phone version of this phone the other week in case one of my kids breaks their phone. Paid $39.99 for it. Not a bad phone. It's only 512 RAM so you get some "resuming" and "loading". No double tap to wake or ambient light sensor but that's not the end of the world. Music player is still horrible despite a dozen updates. IE still needs work too. It crashes too easy. To be fair I'm running the Preview for Developer software.

The DP is the cause of the crashes, I am running stock 8.1 and the music player works great.

Now THAT is a good deal. How in the world are they making $ off that?

We currently sell a htc desire for 216, and the sharp, lg vigor and galaxy s 3 spark all for 240. If they can make those devices cheap enough to sell for those prices then 168 isn't really a stretch. Plus the phone just feels cheap when I've played with our demo. So I'm sure its production cost are low.

It piqued my interest because it's cool to see wgie much fluff is in your smartphone vs how much is NEEDED to deliver a functional pgobe.

Is anyone actually using this phone?  i've always wanted to try WM for the heck of it, but would be too much of a downgrade from my Note 4 to even tinker with.

I was actually just in the Microsoft Store yesterday and played with it for a bit. The software really handled the low specs well and ran smoothly.

 

I've always been a fan of WM. I really hope Sprint picks up the the new flagship lumia 940. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

YES! That (XL version) and the Surface 3 LTE, both on Sprint, would absolutely make my day.

I have a 635 running on RingPlus, was only $40 at Best Buy. FCC RF ratings are pretty good. No SignalCheck but I'll use the debug menu if I need to :)

 

Plus MS gives updates to anyone who wants it in their insider program, so I'm running v. 10.

 

B41 is 7-10 dB better than my Note 4.

    • My s24 Ultras auto updated to April 1 security patch over night. Not on wi-fi.  Play system remains at March 1. No notice that update occurred on screen.
    • Got the latest update. On my S24 ultra the NR-ARFCN display remains constant (which is inaccurate according to diags) while n41 and 38 toggle back and forth.  I updated then rebooted before testing. Two sims active. My security patch level updated automatically to April 1 before this update. Diags sent while n38 was displaying.
    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
