I like this test, particularly for it’s real-world method. It proves its point much better than “blah blah wedge-shaped striker weighing 17 pounds blah blah joules of impact energy”. Even careful owners can appreciate this example to help them be mindful of what the truck can handle.

Particularly the engine, which holds explosions.

Do people not use bed liners anymore?

Ah, so I guess I won’t throw cement bricks into the bed of my aluminum F-150. Not that I did such things anyway. Heck, I’m not sure if anybody does that. The folks who tend to treat their trucks that way tend to not give a rip what happens to the thing anyway... I’ve seen plenty of all steel truck bodies with no end…

Who the fuck drops a load of landscaping blocks into their truck bed from 5 feet above the bed in the real world? This is how you break all the landscaping blocks you just bought and thus have to go buy them again.

But really, when has GM ever faced consequences for stupid past decisions and resistance to new technology?

microSD? check
removable battery? check
full MS integration? check

explain to me how this phone isn’t the perfect companion of a Windows 10 workflow environment (especially one designed around MS Office / Exchange integration / Sharepoint integration) like many, MANY business environments around the world, PLUS the…

“Its UI is dramatically different, other than the inclusion of live tiles. Pivot and swipe are mostly gone, replaced by a crappy iPhone-like UI complete with shitty hamburger menus in the same, nigh-unreachable locations as iOS and Android put them.”

A bit late to the game... I’ve had the Lumia 950 for a week now and judging from the quality of this review I think I’m better qualified to give an assessment of the phone.

I’m not going to cover the whole review, because that would probably be a massive waste of time, and mostly pointless as my guess is that this reviewer reviewed this phone before even having it in his hand.

He’s a reviewer and, supposedly, a professional journalist, and the mark of professional journalism is objectivity. He can say what he likes in summation, provided he offers suitable comparisons, but that statement - which clearly suggests he didn’t want to review the product in the first place - throws all…

you don’t need google apps on Windows Phone, this is the biggest myth out there.......

you are a very special kind of troll. please get a new hobby.

It’s a biased statement that immediately commits the fallacy of “poisoning the well” before any review has been given.

So here’s my takeaway: you’ve never actually used any Windows Phone, and you just made up this entire review straight out of your ass. How do I know?

I won’t even complain about this review as everything has been said already.

“After forcing myself to use it for the past week, however, I’m not sure why anyone would want to.”

That’s the exact moment I stopped reading. You might as well saved yourself the trouble of writing this review. No one will take you seriously, especially the people who actually know a thing or two about Windows Phone…

I’m guessing if you “forced” yourself to use the device for a week, then this wasn’t the most unbiased of articles.

I bought the 920 when it came out, and I bought the 950 when it came out. I could be one of those biased fans that the phone was designed for.

The only version that had crippled software was the original Surface with Windows RT. The rest of them ran Windows, I think the problem with Surface 1 and 2 Pro was hardware - it was too fat with too small a screen, not quite a laptop and not quite a tablet. Surface Pro 3 fixed that.
