Personally I think the way forward is for Microsoft to provide install images for phones that are currently in the market, like the Samsung Galaxy.

That way they don't have the expense of making their own phones. They can go for gradual adoption rather than trying to dominate the market in one go. And it fits in with the "Windows anywhere" theme.

I always wondered why they don't do that. Maybe the phone manufacturers won't give them the technical information or something. Or maybe the Android license forbids it.

I switched over to my 950 a few weeks ago and I have to say that I now love it. There are still bugs, but the general experience seems to be getting better over time.

Does anyone know how to turn off the Caller ID?

The Lumia's of old you used to just go into Phone Settings and then click show/hide caller id. This is for making outgoing calls.

Cant find it on this phone...does it still exist?

Go into settings, type "phone", select the phone option and there is the caller id functionality in there.

Thank you for the reply.

But sadly there isnt an option for that in there frown

Under My phone number the only options are
Voicemail
Calls (Vibrate when my call is answered)
SIM (Fixed Dialing)
Text Reply
Dialing (International Assist)
Default Apps

The hardware was one of the main reasons that I left Windows Phone after having been there since the Lumia 800. I would definitely give Windows 10 a go on my S7 Edge if it were an option.
