David K Microsoft Store is already starting the sales. The Xbox 360 with Kinect (this is the 4gb bundle) is just $180 with free shipping. That’s a great deal and 360 is still great for what it is.

I just ordered it. This is too cheap to pass up. Ill use Office and since I paid so little I got the Dell Active Stylus as well ($30 – free shipping, normally $35). The price is $230 for the tablet but if you use V.me at checkout it’s another $20 off. This is normally … Read more

I’ve upgraded to GDR3 and the only reason was the ability to attach a .doc or .pdf to an email (the rest of the features are fine but aren’t that compelling to me). Well, this feature isn’t active in GDR3 (or if it is then it’s really really well hidden). The attach button in emails … Read more
So today MS announced a great way to legitimately get the GDR3 upgrade on your Windows phone and they’ve opened it up to nearly everyone. I was pumped until I saw the last nit: – After you install a preview update, you may void any warranty from your MO and OEM. In the unlikely event … Read more
If Thurrot’s rumors are right then the back button is going away on Windows Phones. He notes: No more Back button. Aping the iPhone navigation model, Microsoft will apparently remove the Back button from the Windows Phone hardware specification with 8.1. The Back button just doesn’t make sense, I was told: Users navigate away from … Read more

Despite being married to me and being forced to listen to me talk about phones like they’re important, my wife isn’t into them for the most part. She had a Focus and moved to a Focus 2 from AT&T a while back. But in the building where she works AT&T’s coverage is ridiculously spotty, to … Read more
