    Yes, but I would qualify that by saying that you should do at 30 minutes per day of geeky input stuff in the terminal .

    It's one year old and loaded with Windows 8.1. I done the free upgrade to Windows 10 and did a hard restart .

    Cranking over real nice with no probs. Nice phone on it and all the Apps running real smooth.

    The free Windows 10 upgrade is coming to an end this month so many shops are shifting these phones.

    Real good buy at 3000 baht.

    Original price was 7000 baht.
    That's a real bargain. Install apps to sd card, replaceable battery. I've had one for around 1 year now, no scratches despite being kept in a pocket with keys and change. The new 650 looks good as well. Cortana beats Siri hands down.

    Monster Battery in it as well.

    My mate bought the same one in Perth this year $280.

    Thought I'd give it a crack, very glad I did.

    It's a budget Phone but works as good as My Handbags Samsung Note 3.

    She paid a shit load more than 3000 BHT by the way.

    Are you going to phone yourself now that you have two phones ? I can give you Stroller's number if you would like to speak to him "in stereophonic sound".

    I've had a 640XL for a year. Windows phones are really good value. I think Windows phone 10 is great as well. Try talking to Cortana and watch it type out the question, its far better than Siri. If you are really geeky link it to a power BI dataset and ask questions about the data.

    What causes the cursor to jump around uncontrollably when you're keyboarding a message in gmail? I mean the pointer will jump to some other part of the message before you know it and you continue typing thinking you're at the end of the message when, in fact, you're typing somewhere else in the message and screwing that part of it up. I understand that the problem usually has to do with inadvertently touching the keypad while typing.

    But what's weird is that when you do a control Z, it will return to a point or almost to that point that had some kind of spelling or grammatical error as if I caused the cursor to jump. So it acts as some kind of proof reader by screwing your message up even more.

    The cursor jumping problem is also addressed in pcworld (touchfreeze | PCWorld) and one of the options is TouchFreeze which has been running for a long time now on my laptop and disables the keypad when you are using the keyboard. It does a great job...except for gmail. (The first option pcworld.com mentions is tweaking Windows' mouse/touchpad settings but I don't want to mess with that.)

    Anybody have an opinion about gmail or much prefers another email service or even has experienced this cursor jumping problem? (My OS is Win 7)

    I just installed it.

    (shut up guys!)

    ...not a huge difference from Win 7 - just a bit laggy perhaps... being a fair-minded lad, I'm going to give it a fair chance - open mind blah blah... hey, at least battlefield 4 runs smooth as butter's bottom...

    I don't like it. I tried twice. The sound went, my movie downloads disappeared etc etc.

    I went back to Windows 8, and a good friend of mine who is a bit of a geek, said stick with number 8. If that is all you need. So that's me.

    And i wish they would stop popping up and telling me to install it. Will it all go away at the end of the month?

    from reading on the web it seems that the NVME drives are 10 times faster , but outside the lab benchmark tests the speed is not really an advantage yet - some video editing might use them to an advantage , but you would have to have your footage on the drive.

    so I decided to wait and will use the slot later as the prices come down -

    my bits I detailed here - https://teakdoor.com/3244163-post708.html

    I put win7 on it - I am waiting on the graphics card for later in the year as the prices stabilise on the new Nvidia pascal cards

    Just bought twenty of these little beauties, https://www.sandisk.co.uk/business/d...x350_datasheet, the SX350-6400 with 6.4 Terabytes of flash, 79/15μs read/write data access latency withread/write performance of up to 345K/385K IOPS. I've got them LVM mirrored and they go like the clappers!

    Meh... so, so...

    I changed the win 10 startup menu to resemble win 7... did a few other mods/hacks to customize it...

    What's with having no borders around windows? it's hard to drag and drop/resize windows - as one can't see the borders.

    Apart from that issue, it's not bad... just seems a bit more laggy than win 7...granted my illegal copy was a leaner/lighter version of win 7... this seem bloaty like dark beer lao! (kidding Teri) hehe

    Hey, I customized win 10, turned off most of its low-level data leaks to Microsoft as per this dudes advice (very well worth the hassle)...make no mistake, this latest iteration of windows takes the built-in malware/spyware to a new level.. runs much better now that crap is all removed/disabled... (still not as smooth as win 7 IMHO).

    For you guys/gals:-

    On Photoshop I'm quite good . On Windows Operating Systems I'm probably at retard level .

    Saying that ...... I got tired of all the prompts ( as is supposed to happen of course ) and I changed to Windows 10.

    And I bloody hate it .

    like google and apple , microsoft wants to become a dataminer

    You will use Cortana, Microsoft says

    Surprise, surprise. If things remain as they are, Windows 10 users who upgrade to the Anniversary Update won't be able to turn off Cortana anymore using the Cortana settings.

    If you compare the start menu settings of Cortana of the current version of Windows (version 1511) with those of the Anniversary Update (version 1607) you will notice that Cortana's off switch is no longer available
    You will use Cortana, Microsoft says - gHacks Tech News
