I was trying to edit my first review but seems you can't. So very quickly just wanted to add the new firmware and Windows 10 mobile anniversary were finally released for the HP Elite X3. The difference is amazing...I am finding this phone now as, or more stable than my Galaxy Edge 7.

This is the best Windows Phone to date. The design is both elegant and functional and feels solid in your hand. The screen is sharp and vibrant with crisp, clear images and bright colors. The phone both looks and feels like a premium product as you would expect from a high end device.

I USE THIS PHONE FOR BILLION DOLLAR CONSTRUCTION POWER PLANT PROJECTS THAT REQUIRES CONSTRUCTION MOBILITY COMMUNICATION ON SITE. CLIENTS, CONTRACTORS AND HOME OFFICE ARE UPDATED ANYTIME WITH THIS MOBILITY AND SYNCHRONIZES SEAMLESSLY WITH CORPORATE LAP AND DESK TOP WINDOWS BASED BUSINESS...

Like it, much more robust than the Microsoft 950xl

Best windows phone…. It's impressive to see a new manufacturer get so much right on the first try. Speakers: The speakers are loud and solely distort once nearly maxed. Whereas they lack the bass of a lot of consumer-friendly phones just like the iPhone, the Elite x3 excels for Skype calls wherever...

Hardware

some more software tweaks to enhance performance

Screen size; and qualitity

Windows phone; No app for this software; No mobile banking, no nfc payment app, nothing

I purchased this phone a week ago and I could not be happier. I bought it for work but I've since switched my Nexus 6 out as my daily driver. The web browser is so good I've found myself just pinning the web pages as tiles in the place of apps that are missing in the app store library. It's fast.

I really wanted Windows phone to integrate with my home PCs. What a pile of crap this phone... Nothing against HP, I think they did a great job as build quality is pretty high. But software, the windows 10 on this phone is a huge pain.

HP touts the new Elite x3 as more than just a smartphone. Instead, it says the $699 device can serve as a 3-in-1 system for work. When bundled with a desk dock for $799 or with both a desk dock and a lap dock for $1,299, the Elite x3 can expand into a full-on PC workstation.

Transforms from phone into mini PC; Dual SIM option; IT-department friendly; Impressive battery life

Windows Phone lacks apps; Difficult to type with one hand; Occasional lags when switching apps

Don't be fooled by the form factor and your initial impressions -- what we have before us is not a typical smartphone. Well, technically we suppose it is, but the experience is not intended to replace your commonplace , , or other handset.
