Seeing no one complaining about the 8S..

[crystal_planet]

Hmm. That 4gb of internal space is a deal breaker. I don't have very many apps either, but the lack of space will deter me from pulling the trigger. Compared to my Lumia 800, this phone almost feels like a downgrade.

Not sure if you've read the review yet from TheVerge. They listed screen and performance issues with the 8S. Let's see what other reviews say.

XENOPHOS, it think you're right. I use for about 3 to 10 apps, and maby 2 games. 1.3 gigs will to that for me. **** me if it doesn't, hehe. I'm sure the 8s will do the trick.
I'm going to get it in 10 minutes or so. : D

never had that screen and performance issues, I do not like the look of the Nokia 620 looks like a plastic phone

The Verge are a bunch of apple loving guys. I don't read their ****. : )

XENOPHOS, I think because you want to literally 3 or 4 apps I think the phone will do it for you.

On another note that HTC have an app for their Windows phones called “Make More Space,” an app that presumably junks unwanted files on the phone. Now I didnt see this on my 8S or maybe I missed it but I cant find much information about it but if this app does what I think it does which would be to delete unwated cached data it could be very very useful for the 8S and might even make me go back and buy one.

Has anyone else heard about or even used this app?

Nope but Im getting mine tomorrow and I will report back to you bout the app, I also was wondering while watching numerous reviews, they all seemed to skip that app.

If you could tell me about that app I would appreciate it so so much. As I'm thinking of getting th 8S again if I know this app works and allows you to clear the cache of apps as I really really want this phone. Thanking you in advance.

 

[juanitoriv]

Cannot speak of if it on my 8X, says "unavailable for my device"..?.?.?.?.

 

[Sityos Vin]

Richard c the app dont clear the cache only give the imformation of the space that applications videos etc is taken and let you uninstall , but I found wen we reboot the device the cache of applications its cleared and we get more space, 776,84MB free, after reboot 778,38MB, can someone confirm this?
sorry for my english

I unfortunately must agree with the negative comments above... Just bought the 8S, installed some apps, and the Phone memory is full. Can't even download a map in the expensive Navigon Europe app. 32GB of SD memory can only be used for media. MSFT, please update the OS!

This is the part that confuses me. people who have the phone aren't complaining. But others ( including me) are worried. Like I said, I am not going to install more than 10 apps. And BTW, doesn't HTC phones come with some pre-installed tool apps like torchlight, converter and all? That would again save me some more space. My other question went unanswered...does it have the lockscreen notification for email/Twitter etc..?

So is my thought...looks like a plastic toy...and plus, 8S looks premium..

Hahaha...yes, even with the Playstore brimming with apps, I very conveniently giving it a miss. I don't WANT any apps TBH. Just the ones I need on a day-to-day basis.

yes, it comes with HTC applications and you can have the lockscreen notification for email and other things.

And the phone dont have any screen performance issues.

when I say I have 10 applications are not included applications htc

Oh cool thanx..my question to u Sityos, The Verge reported they had a non-responsiveness a few times and that some appa froze and the phone jumped back to the start screen.
Is that true? Does the phone stop responding sometimes?
Hope it isn't a hardware issue...

Dude, Each one has their oppinion. That is ok.. I think 620 really exicted a lot of pple. Also, i think once 620 is revealed, you should go and hold it and see. You may like it.. Black is not toyish by any means.
