Anyone else out there still using a WP7 device? I'm still under contract with mine for a few more months.

 

I got my HTC Titan back in Feb. 2012 and back then it was amazing to me, now it feels lonely and forgotten, but still does the job. I know I'm missing out on a lot of apps that have made it to WP8 like Pandora and Mint, which I would really like to have.

 

I've come really close to picking up a 520 just to get me through until I can get a fancy upgrade but I've held off so far with my trusty Titan.

Amazon had the 520 on sale SIM-free a few days ago at a low price.  You should see if it's still available because WP8 is really a great upgrade over WP7.

Still using my Nokia Lumia 800 with 7.8 update and going strong. Though the battery life has started to last only a day. Only thing I am holding on is the announcements of WP9 so I can choose the correct upgrade path and not stuck with a device that can't get WP9.

I've started noticing battery issues, sometimes battery saver won't come on at all.

 

One day last week I set my alarm, but by the time I woke up the phone was completely dead, it hadn't switched battery saver on either.

Still on a Lumia 900. I'm not on a contract but I am waiting to see what the WP8.1 phones are like before I upgrade. I would ideally want something like the 1020, but with SD card slot, quad core, 2gb ram, latest graphics.

Sorry, by why are you fretting over graphics on a phone?

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
