I'm starting to look at jumping ship (again) back to Android, I'm finding with the few updates lately on my 640, that its getting slower, apps crashing at random and just generally app support is really starting to lack :( Even my wifes Galaxy S3 is more responsive than the 640 now....

I'll miss the "single platform" for everything (my phone, Xbox and PC all play nicely together) but unless something major gives WM10 a push, Ill be moving on...

I found with Android I had to "babysit" it all the time, at that syncing with Exchange servers were just painful. It's been a while since I touched Android, but I'm not in a hurry to see if it's improved.

Having said that, since last two updates to Windows 10 Mobile I'm finding the same thing happening with syncing Exchange accounts. (Keep getting a "We couldn't obtain the single sign in token to authenticate" message)

Interesting to read this week that Microsoft-owned Minecraft will no longer be supported on Microsoft phones ...

It's dead Jim.

We look after a couple of hundred mobile devices or more even in our customer base with next to no sync issues with Exchange.

I'm guessing it was quite a while ago.

I have a 930 and a 950 (which I'd like to sell, if anyone's interested?). I tried the 950 running Windows Phone 10 for about a week and went back to my 930 running 8.1.

Far too many apps had crappy 10 implementations, and I preferred the setup/layout of 8 anyway.

A pity, because if I could put a micro SD card into my 930 it would be awesome! Oh well, I'll stick to OneDrive for now (as slow as it is).

Still haven't had an OTA update for Windows 10 on the 735, the phone owner won't want to move from 8.1 anyway so not really a problem. That is for a 2 degrees boxed phone with no other branding, which got all the amber and black updates previously. 735 is a fantastic piece of hardware, but the switch to android is inevitable.

Thanks for that - I guess it was quite a while ago, given at the time CyanogenMod was still CyanogenMod and I think Ice Cream Sandwich was the talk of the town (so 2012-ish) ...

Cheers!
