  That’s would just be Windows 11 S ~Mobile~ ~Edition~, but you do not get the option to upgrade to Windows 11 Home ~Mobile~ ~Edition~ as you would on a PC

  Or maybe you do get an option, but its a subscription for $50 per quarter. 🫠

    And 16GB storage (because everything is being saved to OneDrive anyway).

      Not much different than Google. Keeping their mobile device storage low and then officially advising people to just store stuff on Google drive instead.

      Thus driving people to pay for Google One.

  I disagree. That would’ve just been more garbage like with the xbox.

    I’m playing gears on PS5 as we speak. Ha ha. What a shipwreck XBOX has become.

      That’s great news. Exclusivity is not good for the consumer/gamer. Now you can play more games on your console.

        As a platform holder is terrible, I have a series X and it’s a paperweight.

      No way - it was a good phone at the time. I had a Lumia 640 and it worked like a charm. There was only a small range of apps, but the main features worked fine: mail, calendar, messaging, camera and route planner with a map. There were news readers, Acrobat. I did not miss much and if M$ sold it’s software better to other manufacturers than Nokia, I think it would have worked well and fitted between Apple and Google.

  I would have rather seen the development of BBOS10. It was so far ahead of its time.

  That whole thing we do with swipe gestures to navigate the android interface? Yeah BBOS had that years ago.

  I miss my Passport.
