Hey guys, I am interested in swapping over to WP7 from Android. I did some searching but couldn't find a solution to these features. Do you have any suggestions?
Things I need
- SMS notification reminder. I have my current phone set to beep at a set interval until I open the message.
- Private inbox for text messages. I have a password set inbox for certain numbers (this is going to be my work device as well)
- Tethering (preferably wireless). I'd imagine this is a per device basis but it looks like both the Titan 2 and Lumia 900 do.
Things I would like
- A better browser. I find that IE sometimes has an issue recognizing that I should be getting the mobile version of a website. Some things do not work too such as yahoo's homepage articles and the "jump to" function on news.google.com
- Can you really not connect to a hidden network? Seems silly to me.
- Is it possible to retain notifications in the drop down bar like Android? Just a habit and not a huge deal.
Things I am confused about
- Are there quicker ways to turn off bluetooth/wifi and change the ringer/vibrate? I downloaded Connectivity Shortcuts and that can do the trick. Seems like something that should be integrated into the OS. Although I guess iOS doesn't have it either.
- Zune Pass integration with Zune. Say I download an album (do not purchase) and I cancel my account. What happens to those songs? Disappear? Don't work?
With that said there are lots of things I love and would really like to switch. Exchange support is so much better than Android, its really smooth and Fluid and the Zune software rocks.
Titan 2 or Lumia 900? I am going from a 4.5" Samsung Infuse and love big screens. In fact if I stick with Android, I am probably going to get that ludicrous Note.
Thanks for any suggestions guys!
