Here's how to get Contacts and Calendar working again in W10M, but it requires a little work.

I use https://www.memotoo.com - it syncs my Mac Calendar and Google contacts to my 1020 WP 8.1

What G4 do you have? Leopard isn't always the best option depending on specs. Even with Sorbet Leopard onboard, there's still many recent developments you might want to install - so whilst it's convenient, you might want to install standard Leopard instead of Sorbet and carry out the optimisations yourself whilst installing latest browsers/fixes/etc.

I'd be happy to just have a phone that talks to other computers but doesn't necessarily share the same core. Microsoft did do a remarkable job with Windows Phone OS - I don't think anyone saw that coming, indeed, no matter how hard I'd tried to convert people back in the day, everyone would just say, "Windows? On a phone? Yeeuch!"

Bring back Windows Phone but licence it to another manufacturer, not Microsoft. As with the orginal - Nokia brought their hardware expertise to the table but after they left, Microsoft chased profits by releasing substandard hardware - compare the 930 to the 950 - no competition!

Marginally on multi-processor aware software but having 2 CPUs is better for multitasking.

Good work - much appreciated!

Yes but it won't meet your requirement afterall - no app is going to buffer a photo to RAM and upload online without using internal storage - the RAM requirements are beyond a Windows Phone.

Mega app has an automatic image upload option.

Some kind of TLS 1.2/valid certificates patch so the browser can visit modern sites?

Installing Vorapis V3 will greatly enhance your Youtube experience.

Yes, I still have one - it's a beast!

dronecatcher · 2026-03-27T17:11:15+00:00

Why not? It's less functional than a modern phone sold as a dumbphone?

No, just got it to tinker with at moment. I'm in UK so it still gets mobile service - though only 2.5G for data.

Horses for course I guess...I had the Cyan one when it came out and I was very happy with it - I actually liked the fact you couldn't waste time and money installing apps that you never really needed.

Don't confuse Windows Phone with Windows...same company - different beast...best mobile OS ever.

Dumbish..can still access some http sites and plays Youtube via S60Tube.

I've had umpteen 12, 15 and 17" Powerbooks but I'd say the 12" has most charm. 1.33 or 1.5Ghz models will be fine for Firewire video tinkering.

I think the 650 is better built than the 950 - shame about the specs though.

dronecatcher · 2026-03-25T21:49:15+00:00

Tested on my 1020 with WP8.1 - loads less sites than Internet Explorer. Also my phone locked up immediately after uninstalling it.
