Is it worth downloading W10 Mobile?

1manonthebog · 31-12-2015, 17:20

Last time I tried this back in the summer it was a buggy sluggish mess on my L640. Have things improved any or should it still be left alone?

Works perfectly on the new 550, if that's of any help.

Yeah I heard the 950 is full of bugs though, so is it handset dependant do you think?

i have a 950 and mine runs fine have not noticed any problems at all i have my phone set to get fast insider previews too, maybe the odd app crash where a relaunch solves it but ive had that on iphones and androids too so i hardly class it as a problem for me.,

ive actually enjoyed been back on windows phone and windows 10 phone to me is a big improvement over 7/8, for me so id say give it a go

I just updated my 640 a couple of days a go. I have one or two minor problems but I think its a very good op and won't be going back.

Got a 950 with no problems and W10 is much better as others have said.

Hi.
I looked at this phone the other week in CPW and it seemed to suffer the same problem that my trusty lumia 800 had in that the contacts info (in blue) was small type and hard to read easily.
There seemed to be no way to increase the font size for the contacts info & on my old Lumia I (and many others) had to install the Big Phonebook app to kind of cure this.

Thoughts appreciated.

do you mean when you go into the people app and click on their name to bring their details up if so you can make that bigger.

Yes that looks like it Ash.
The details (phone number/mail address) is in blue making it hard to easily read when small that produced pages of complaints in the Nokia forum but nothing was done in a long awaited update.
I will pop into another phone shop and see what it looks like with the font at max as I am struggling with the iPhone OS myself after coming from windows.

you go into settings > ease of access > more options > and then the top option is text scaling, obviously setting a better colour for the titles / texts etc helps too
