Good to hear, its a shame my first experience with a Windows Phone was so lousy. I was a manager at a construction firm at the time and the company bought us all Nokia Lumia 820's. At first I was a little intrigued to try it being a bit of a tech geek and the lack of apps was disappointing but it was the battery life that was the killer.

The battery couldn't even last a working day without charge so we all had to buy in-car chargers just to make it through the day. Also the phone was like a housebrick, it was soo heavy. You could feeling pulling at your trousers as it slipped in your pocket but I suppose there was no chance of anyone stealing it as I'd soon notice the lack of weight!

As someone working out of the office for long periods on site I could see Continuum being handy as more offices have hot desking facilities. The maps thing is more I suppose of what I'm used to. I have HERE on my Windows 10 PC (I really like Windows 10) and I opened it and Google Maps together. Google Maps has me pinpointed within about 10 feet while HERE has me about 5-10 miles away. I know they will work much better on a phone with GPS its just a confidence thing and I trust Google Maps.

Microsoft has really done a great job with Windows 10 across various devices. I have my two desktops and a laptop upgraded to Windows 10, the Windows 10 powered update to my XBOX One has made the UI much crisper and faster and I am looking to change my iPads to Surface Pro 4's potentially and Windows Phone is no longer such a no go for me and will be given serious consideration on my next phone upgrade.

I am surprised you have had a battery issue with your WP as I have not had the issue on any of my WP even 2 years in with the phones I had. I have been impressed with my LG G4's battery too I must admit and this was my biggest gripe with android when I last had it. I want for the LG over Samsung and HTD due to the light UI and I also wanted a great camera as the Lumia 925 camera was amazing.

I agree about MS though for me they are dishing out some great software/hardware now windows 10 on my surface pro 3 is amazing and my work pc is twice as fast too. I do like the new xbox dash too but I am happing people start to see MS for what they are now and not what they were in the past but only time will tell.
