      Full list referred to in ^ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/Windows-10-specifications#featdeprphone
      (You have to select 'mobile'... GG MS)

      For consumers, the obvious social networks integration is the most obvious missing feature. Notifications won’t work on contact tiles, and Cortana is only half finished – it doesn’t (in its current state) search the device any longer. Just the web and the cloud.

      So it's taken this long and that's still not finished? What are they doing?

      Looking at that list, I think they may have given the Pirate Order a while ago.

        "Maps is better", "email is a little faster", and "Edge is (usually) faster."

        Wow. Great job, no one cares about two out of the three things that they've improved ( I guess you are forced to care about Bing maps since you can't use Google Maps).

        While everyone else is implementing monthly security updates, fingerprint scanners, and even infrared cameras, Microsoft has made your email a tiny bit faster.

          I really liked HERE Maps and I am very much disappointed that it's not supported in Windows 10 (all versions). I guess I'll have to look at Microsoft/Bing Maps

            If your email downloads correctly in the first place. I've had some issues getting email to download correctly. Not constantly but enough to be irritating.

            I was hoping that this would be fixed.

              I forgot about HERE Maps. Why would they remove support for that? The Nokia stuff was the only real apps that worked.

                They are using a work around that will no longer be supported after a specific date in June.
                An entire rewrite is required for continued support

                    So much for that "universal apps" idea of Windows 10. Clearly it is "universally runs nowhere."

                      This is a point that you and I went round and round on. MS I don't think ever intended universal apps to be what you call call universal. They intended them to be runable from any place Windows 10 happens to be.

                        🙂 Eliminating all apps would make that an easier goal.

                          Interestingly enough, the page I've been using to check for updates is no longer available... Hmmm

                            I've been checking the update site (at least once) every day for the last month.
                            ...
                            checking again...

                            nope. not in AU yet 😞

                            It will arrive there next year because you're too far from them.

                              I had to download some stupid app called "Upgrade Advisor".

                              I've been poking the built in "Check for updates" everyday for almost three months". Turns out it's been lying to me for at least the last three days (Since I last opened the upgrade app).

                              Here commenceth the backups of my crapola.

                                So the app doesn't upgrade the phone. It queues it up in Settings --> Phone Update...
                                It's downloading... we shall see what happens.

                                  Paul Thurrott last week on Windows Weekly said that he didn't think the upgrade to Windows Phone 10 was worth it.

                                    Yeah, but I can always roll back.
                                    Haven't hit the install button yet. I might do a bit more research before I poke that.

                                      Well, I didn't find anything convincing in the way of holding off.
                                      It's away!
