Im ditching my iPhone 4S for a Nokia Lumia 900 when it launches in the UK, because it looks great. I've been with iPhone since the first one, and I'm bored of it, I'm bored of iOS, I want to try something new.

In all seriousness, something akin to xpPhone.

Nothing surpasses the accessibility, amount of (freeware) programs (not friggin' crap apps), flexibility and reliability (Android, I speak of you - you don't have it at all) of x86 platform, given that I could run either Windows or Linux, or even multiboot. I don't care how unfitting desktop OS may be for small screens. Add pinch-to-zoom driver (or perhaps even at hardware level) and you're good to go.

Besides, I don't know how well it works in practice, but xpPhone is said to have hybrid mode - waking PC part only when needed, phone part itself may run for five days from a single charge. That, my dear people, is so damn obvious that it's genius. Well, I wouldn't mind beefier battery, anyway. Oh, and definitely a hardware QWERTY, with control keys, too.

Long story short - I'd want my desktop stuffed in Galaxy Note like, tops, slob. Could be thicker, because of battery.

ALL CURRENT SMARTPHONES SCUK!!1! If Pocket PC weren't dead already, it would have died of shame.

I run an android phone, Galaxy S2 with a new rom, and I love it. I'm a huge fan of Android.

My next phone may be an iPhone. I'm sick to death of every accessory being built for a phone I don't have. Specifically car stereos.

I'm most likely going to pick up a BlackBerry 10 phone by the end of the year. After watching the BBJam event and all the developer reviews on the Alpha device it looks very promising for RIM... but I will be interested to see what the new iPhone, Nexus and WP8 devices have in store too. Such an exciting year for mobiles.

I'm sort of weird with phones.. I prefer to have something that isn't the most popular, which is why I use my BlackBerry Bold 9900 over my Galaxy Nexus.

The next iPhone, for a lot of reasons, probably one of my favorite reasons is the great integration with my Macs and having decided to go get an iPad next year, this will just sweeten things. :)

Already ordered a Lumia 900. Smooth and stable OS which Android cant compete with and all the apps I use bar one are now available from the WP7 market. Telstra in Australia also supports DC-HSDPA which the 900 has too so amazing fast internet speeds too which neither the Galaxy S3 or the HTC X support.

I already walk around with an Android and Windows Phone; I'll be getting myself a BlackBerry 10 device when it comes out. The tech press may be publishing negative opinion articles about RIM, but their phones are getting surprisingly good reviews for a supposedly dead company.

This. My faith in Blackberry is slowly fading, so I've decided that I'm going to go with this year's iPhone release. It will integrate smoothly with my iMac

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
