Looks like Microsoft is serious this time in improving "app gap".

Let's hope and see what happens

Here're some apps you might want to download on your Windows Phone:
Lumia Camera App: Transforms your humble phone into a DSLR of sorts!!!)
Touch and Lock: Pin it to start, and the phone will go to sleep whenever you touch the tile!!! Combine it with Double Tap to wake and you won't have to use the power button anymore!
Files and/or Metro File Manager: Great file explorer for your SD and Internal Memory. Metro File Manager is IMPRESSIVE as it has a built-in photo, audio & video player!
EngUrdu Dictionary: By far the best English to Urdu Dictionary for Smartphones, let it be Android or iOS... Has got all the words and phrases!
MS-DOS Mobile: Quite Fun! Turns your phone into a command line OS.
Connectivity Tiles: Lets you put Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi & Celluar Network tiles right on the start screen!
Ghost Camera: Very Scary, scared the hell out of my younger brother! Just don?t prank with heart patients; and I?m very serious about it.
G-Maps: Since Nokia Maps are unavailable here in Pakistan; That?s the only app to make your Windows Phone useful for navigation here... This App allows you to view Google Maps on your phone... But it?s full of ads which some might find annoying!
Lumia Help + Tips: It?s basically a guide for those new to Windows Phone... A must for new users!
Ringtone Maker: Official Microsoft Application, it lets you choose any audio file from the internal memory and turn it into a ringtone... So you no longer need to connect your phone to a Windows 8 Desktop PC to add custom ringtones! MUST!
UC Browser & Opera Mini: The built in internet explorer is a nice browser, albeit a little too greedy on data and battery... These are great alternatives; especially Opera Mini... I once surfed internet for an hour and Opera consumed just 1MB!!!
Quick Timer: Lets you add a timer & stopwatch... One feature that differentiates itself from other timer apps is that this app allows you to run timer in the background! And besides; No Ads!
Password Padlock: If you?ve LOTS and LOTS of internet accounts (like me!), then this app is what you need to organize your Usernames and Passwords... You can even sync it with OneDrive Cloud! It encrypts your passwords into some gibberish so no worries about hackers!
Then there are other apps like What?sApp, Twitter, Instagram (Beta), Blackberry Messanger, DropBox (Cloud Storage) and Facebook... But I?m leaving them out as it depends on personal taste!
IF YOU SEE AN APP MISSING, KIDNLY LET ME KNOW... I?m always on the hunt for new apps!

The specs are what would you see in a Rs.10,000 Rupee Phone though...!
5.0" AMOLED HD Display, Snapdragon 212 SoC @ 1.3Ghz Cortex-A7 Quad Core, 1GB RAM (Same as Rs.4,800 Lumia 430!), 16GB ROM, and 8MP/5MP Cameras...

The SoC is PATHETIC... Quad-Core Cortex-A7s! I mean, you can find those dated garbage 32-Bit cores in a 7,500 Rupee Qmobile with Mediatek MT65xx... In some ways, Snapdragon 212 is basically ancient Snapdragon 400 that one might find in Lumia 640 albeit with a weaker GPU (Adreno 304 in 212 vs. Adreno 305 in 400)...

The only strength this SoC has is The LTE Band... Mediatek 65xx SoCs lack this...

WHAT A GARBAGE, FROM A HARDWARE POINT OF VIEW

My P8L has 64-Bit Cortex-A53s Octa Core and yet its in the same price range... And I'm not even pointing at Camera, RAM, & GPU...

[supraman2jz]

It looks nice though <3

[mfdarvesh]

Yes ..
But Windows is an optimized OS as compared with Android. May its user comment on its performance. I consider it will be good on basic tasks ..

It indeed looks good...!
And Windows 10 Mobile has that classy, and formal looks which Android and iOS severely lacks...
But look isn't everything...

True, that's indeed true...
But no one would even consider this phone because of the spec sheet... I mean, hardware...
It doesn't make any economical sense...
Can't wait for Microsoft surface phone Which will likely replace this Lumia lineup...

Again
It will be hell expensive as we have seen in Lumia 950. Good spec means more money ..

Is this true?

Fellow WP users, I've looked around for a T9 keyboard for WP8.1 but seems it does not exist. I can only type properly with a T9 (prediction off mode). I have an .apk saved in my android phone for a T9 keyboard that I install in whatever android phone that I buy. I really need a T9 keyboard for my WP. The qwerty in this device is annoying.

[k-four-nine]

@supraman2jz I can understand your pain, brother!
Unfortunately, Windows doesn't support third party keyboard...
Why do you think I always reply in English?
Because of SWIPE KEYBOARD!
Once you get used to swipe, there's no turning back!
Although there is AT LEAST one T9 keyboard available for The SMS App, but its paid (I think) and doesn't work outside SMS App...
Such a shame, really...

WP is good enough for 'Advance' use too, brother...
Almost all famous apps are available on this platform...
It's not a glorified FEATURE PHONE (Bar Phone), LOLz!

In U.S and Canada, Microsoft is giving Lumia 950 & 950XL on a BOGO (Buy One Get One free) Deal...
Buy Lumia 950XL and you get free Lumia 950!
If you've a relative there then you can ask them to buy one for you...
Alternately, Microsoft might bring BOGO to Pakistan too, although chances are rather slim...!

[s15]

Using Lumia640XL on Windows 10 mobile and counting the number of never ending severe bugs and instability issues in windows 10 mobile, they should offer BOGTF (Buy One Get Three Free) otherwise people will not even go for this BOGO (Buy One Get One Free) offer.
