  3. Muyanzi Reid says:

    @Bailey Keogh Lumia 1020 I think.

  4. UnYetiFilms says:

    @Ivan Batista It looks intimidating at first but when you actually use it,
    its a piece of cake.

  5. UnYetiFilms says:

    @anthony luis Yes you can! Actually you can get it right now! Just search
    how to get it

  6. Muyanzi Reid says:

    @joseph rich Not really, 8.1 does almost everything better than how Android
    does the same thing.

  7. UnYetiFilms says:

    @walid allaili It is in the update.

  8. Scott Murray says:

    can the screen size be altered for texting? I find the whole screen was
    taken up with my keyboard on my 920 and so I had to get rid of it. Id like
    to see more of my conversation on the screen and less keyboard.

    Just give up Microsoft. It’s not going to work. There is no shame in
    backing out with some dignity remaining. Adding “features” some of which
    have been on competitors phones for years is a joke. “Better late than
    never” can only be used so many times.

    The fact that the world salivated (although in the end disappointed) when
    Nokia announced a Android phone, surely proves that hardly anyone cares
    about Windows Phone anymore.

    I hope you can set different volume for ringer, instead of one volume for
    all media and ringer, because its really stupid when I have my volume all
    away up and when my phone rings it blasts, and when I have my volume down,
    my phone is on vibrate.
