I do not generally recommend Jive, but it was a viable solution for the right needs.

Well, not exactly. 3 months is not well into for manufacturers is a slow pace.

No matter what speed the manufacturers move at, it's halfway through the live of 18.04.

@obsolesce Are we to believe this is a few months away from RTM(says 2018 in the article) and all there is to show for it now is some cgi mockups? No hardware specs, no actual pictures.

Don't know...

But I had the Lumia / Microsoft 950XL, which was amazing hardware and Win10 Mobile was awesome (imo).
I only got rid of it due to the battery after about 2 years, since it was still under warranty, but no longer supported, they gave me a full refund ^_^.

So I'm willing to give it a go if the price is right and the device isn't too wonky.

momurda

@obsolesce Yes Windows 10 mobile was great, i just replaced my lumia with android and it is garbage in comparison, except for the available applications.
Im just not sure of the veracity of this article unless MS NDA is somehow preventing leaks for first time in tech history.

Yeah Win10 Mobile is my favorite... it's great. I have my Android set up to be as similar as possible to it, using all the MS app stuff for it. But yeah, aside from the "app gap", it's definitely my preference.

We just need to wait and see I guess.
