The IE on my phone is not capable of handling the navigation properly of the tabs on that site and I was unable to browse for the info I needed.
Other personalization options? Like what?If I can do more than moving around tiles and adjusting their sizes and information content, please let me know - I'm very interested (and I mean that).
Honestly, I can see how people who previous owned WP devices like WP 8 a lot. Even if you switched from iOS, you'll probably really like it. However, if you, like me, came over from Android, it may be a different situation. I bought the Lumia because it's the only LTE device available here for the launch of the new 4G network in December.
For me, it's the most schizophrenic device I've ever seen:
- great (even excellent) hardware
- the best camera I've ever seen in a mobile phone
- excellent screen.
- heavy. I complained about this in other threads, but now I've gotten used to the weight and I actually like the heft.
However:
- I've been feeling like I'm wearing a straight-jacket ever since I started using WP8. What this OS does, it does well. However, it does VERY LITTLE. Except for moving colorful little blocks, I can't customize it whatsoever. I just fail to see what Microsoft mean by "personalization" in this context. Having the Whatsapp icon in the top right rather than in the bottom left corner isn't exactly my idea of a "personal" homescreen.
I'm not one of those Android users who installs custom ROMs etc, but after installing 20 apps on the Lumia, the whole device is a mess. The homescreen is a mess, and don't even get me started on the apps list.
So yes, I'll be selling mine, even though that means that I'll lose LTE functionality. I'll definitely check out WP8 again in a year or so - perhaps by then, Microsoft has found a way to organize apps on the OS and maybe they'll also have introduced a notification system and VPN by then.
I know that this is going to strike a nerve with you guys - but I just don't see how Microsoft is going to gain market-share with the OS as it presents itself right now. I have the feeling that a year from now, Nokia will be gone (or will have been eaten by Samsung, HTC, or even Microsoft itself) and WP8 will still be at 0.5% market-share.
I have to say in such a short time I am very disappointed with Windows Phone. I think hardware wise the Nokia is great! I like the feel in my hand and I love how the weight makes if feel like a solid phone. Unfortunately where it falls short is not the blame of Nokia but Microsoft. I was willing to give up things when I switched from Android. I know the app market was not the same and I was OK. The music management on the phone sucked but I could live with it because I liked the phone. I could live without a removable battery or a notification light. What I can not live without is a good browser. IE is horrible!! If I can not have the apps I need then I need a good browser to compensate. While shopping at Best Buy today I jumped on the app for them which is junk. OK No problem, I will jump on their website. The IE on my phone is not capable of handling the navigation properly of the tabs on that site and I was unable to browse for the info I needed. I was willing to give up a lot for Windows phone but I am drawing the line. I love the phone but it is going back in the morning. I can not have a smartphone that is dumb!
There must be something wrong with your phone because ie10 is great! Seriously
Seems like quite a number of people doesnt like the vibration sound in this forum, I wonder that is defect or nokia purposely make it sound like thisit's an incredible phone. my only complaints are buzzy vibration and the power button getting really loose even though it started out nice and stiff. i've got a replacement on the way.

Surely problems like this are down to bad website design/insufficient testing by the designer, not a fault of IE10? It's a bit unfair to judge a phone and OS on the fact that it has problems navigating one website!
