i have had one of these phones since they first came out, it works fine.. its fast doesnt slow down.. the camera is really good, the living photos has been on this phone from day one.. the slow mo is great to.. as a phone is great.. windows phones are windows phones.. value for money this is up there as a great offer i feel. the display dock works great, connect up a bluetooth mouse and keyboard you have all you need. i use it because i travel for work.. and using it in a hotel room is easy.. there are always lots wrong with any phone if you want to say you like or hate windows/android/apple. and thats your choice.. this is a good phone. with the dock its a lot better..

i don't think if you accept windows phones you will be disappointed in any way with this phone.

let the hating begin.. lol

Microsoft mobiles will be the next BlackBerry for sure.

Hi All, I just ordered a dual sim one from the France store and got a cashback and a discount. Phone and dock - £283.35 and cashback ontop of this of £14.87. The way to do this is to open the link through topcashback as usual - on the bottom left change the region to france - francais (if you use chrome its easy to get an auto translate). Order as normal, select Grand Betagne obviously as the region. I checked with Microsoft and there is no issue with this - the phone is fully unlocked and covered by Microsoft by their warranty - it supports all networks. And unlike the X3 or any future Surface Phone its really really cheap.
I have already an iphone, an android and an aging windows phone - this will be a great and cheap replacement for my lumia 830 windows phone (with an awesome camera) - incredible deal. Forget the fanboys - this is a great device and will serve you well for years - plenty of apps and now W10 mobile is pretty bug free. Highly recommended!!! - SINGH

Will be? I thought the platform was already pretty much dead, or kind of undead. The users have run away, developers have been fired, a number of high profile apps have left the store, and the Android emulator has been cancelled. So, what exactly is keeping Windows 10 Mobile alive?

Somehow Microsoft is really good at shooting themselves in the foot. Like the best camera in the 1020 - except it had a 2 second delay when taking a picture, so you would get a super sharp image of what isn't there any more. Or the whole Continuum concept: long announced, but then not supported by the hardware. The unified apps that never materialised etc.

you won't get those cash back rates. I posted a Microsoft band deal with similar cash back. But instead of the promised 50 it was 6.

great if you could get it. But you likely won't

Because they can :\

Will Windows OS still be supported unlike the lumias

I am awaiting for cashback for a laptop bought over a month ago, only tracked £2 instead of the promised £130 and MS have not responded yet. so don't hold your breath on the cashback for this deal.

Still, have some heat at this price. Wonder if the TCB works on the student deal without the dock. Anyone tried?

Which won't happen. If Windows 10 Mobile continues to fail (and I suspect the expected Surface Phone will have something to say about that) then Microsoft will abandon hardware and simply work on their software for iOS and Android. There's no value in them continuing to make hardware for a rival operating system, it's an expensive business and one which they've had limited success.
