    re: Is there really an app gap on WP? Personally my wife and i are leaving windows and not because we didn't love windows phone, we love the UI and smoothness of the OS and our customizability, but our problem is we are heavily invested into Amazon and most of amazons services aren't available...

    The "app gap" between WP8 and Android/iOS isn't as big as you might think...

    i agree. ive already made a request with Amazon for thier kindle app, send an email to CNN and Fox news, and one to Slacker, hadnt had the time to write to everyone yet but will get them covered eventually. im less annoyed by missing apps than the half assed pseudo apps from the majors like...

    im currently using nukia music, and certain channels are fine, but some are not populated well, for example my wifes 90's country station is great but my 80's hair metal station spends more than half the time playing obscure 60's hippy rock. but my 90's metal station does just fine and so does...

    Yeah what i dont get is that a screen orientation lock isnt a complicated feature, its provided by just about every electronic device made as a basic feature and its a feature that microsoft has built into windows rt and windows 8 desktop, for tablets and other touch screens. but why thier...

    My experience with my 822 good and bad

    Too bright for my eyes at night, on the lowest settings it can still be used as a flashlight around the house. it doesnt dim anywhere as low as my old SGS2 or my older Motorola electrify (on a different carrier) plus i was tired of messing with android i never cared for the whole "customizing"...
