Microsoft guaranteed three years of updates when they released the phone.
It has voice capability, not just data, so itāll be billed as a phone.
How did you get it unlocked ?
- Not expandable
- Micro
Do you think that after they sell off as many locked ones as possible that they might start selling their unlocked ones?

From what I read, the main issue with the hinge sensor is that the included case prevents the phone from opening completely. Donāt use the case and the experience should be much better. Everyone seems to feel the tilt sensor is too sensitive though. Not sure if that can be fixed in software.

Does the wifi calling work after you have unlocked it ? Does it only work wifi calling if itās connected to ATT or Cricket ?
Mine came yesterday. Iāve been messing around with it a bit, and it seems pretty neat. Filed for the AT&T unlock code, so will keep everyone informed about my saga with that.

No secret. There are two ways. Just do a google search. The first way is asking ATT. They have to give you permission to unlock it and then ou get a link that gives you the instructions. The other way you do it yourself. Not really all that diffficilt.
Thereās quite a bit more to that. Many people spent weeks getting Microsoft & AT&T to talk to each other. The process to follow is linked above. We donāt guarantee it will work but people have had luck with it.

Yeah mine arrived too. Despite July 15th delivery estimates! Now I need to find case, or decide to go naked. Bot crazy about bumper ruining aesthetics.
Might just add a skin and a universal faux-leather belt clip
For people worried about unlocking the device an interim solution is to just buy one month of AT&T prepaid for 25 bucks for a month. I plan on using it as an LTE tablet not as a phone but I will be swapping Sims around occasionally
145.2 mm x 93.3 mm x 9.9 mm on your belt??? Like living dangerously, do you?
I have used a belt clip on a moderate sized less fragile phone. The clip snagged on door and snapped.
Not fun things followed. Consider a murse instead. There are nice ones as well as fanny packs that can be slung.

not hard to unlock
Microsoft? The OS is Android. That means google is doing the updates.
Itās NOT just Google. Google works with the manufacturers on Android updates. Thatās why every manufacturer has their own update schedule. Only Google Pixel updates are controlled solely by Google.

Every manufacturer has their own update schedule because google rolls them out they way they want to. Itās true the manufacturerās have a say in their update, but at the end of the day, itās still a Google Android
Well, itās been 5 days and there has been absolutely ZERO movement on my shipping label. Which is pretty universal for āYes you aināt getting your purchaseā. I know itās common practice for sellers to create a label for a product they have no intention of shipping. Heck they are not even charged for the label until it hits the UPS truck scanner. Anyways at that point the buyer has no way to escalate any claims until the shipping window has closed. So has anyone else had any problems? Would like to know. Hope I get mine but itās not looking good right now.
