I have Ubuntu 11.10 and it can not see the Lumia 800 other than just charging via USB. Skydrive seems like the only solution without Zune. The only thing I miss about Android or BB: no proprietory app needed to read the phone. However, the pluses of WP7 out weigh the single minus over-all :cool:

I didn't realize you werent in a contract, lucky you! ;) On another note, I'll be happy when my Telus contract is up. By that time Shaw will have something in place on the phone that will be much more preferred. :cool:

I'm on Telus (have been for many years) and have a NL 800. In terms of Telus Mobility, their tech support it is out-sourced to the Philippines, maybe India as well, not sure. After 4pm local time I believe. I have dealt with Telus' support on only a few occasions and when I have it's been a...

The Lumia 800 has 16GB onboard, you have about 1.8GB used, consider the OS and native apps onboard plus, the files system uses a certain amount of space as well.

Carbon (amazing Twitter client) Connectivity Shortcuts Creative Studio Fuse (brilliant RSS reader) NetTools SkyDrive geoDefence ...so far that's it, I'm still searching the market to see if anything appeals to me. For the rest I use native apps. -

I left the Android side just 3 days ago and all my purchased apps with it. So far, I'm happy with the desicion. I want a simple, unified interface and stable OS/apps. WP gives me that. Android 4.03 (ICS), as improved as it is, is still clunky compared to WP. As mentioned by another member...

Live!Cal sounds better ;-)

OK, thanks everyone :) It's not a big deal as I mentioned in my OP. However, maybe the dev team could reduce the height by about half and place a small arrow or notification icon to scroll left or right for more? This would give more screen space for the actual application.

My error, I should have been more descriptive. I ment when you click on the People tile it opens and you then see 'People" in a huge font across the top. Is there a way of reducing that in size or making it disappear?

First all all, I'm thoroughly impressed with WP 7.5. I thought I'd never leave Android and Apple was never an option for me, Blackberry needs serious work. After watching reviews on WP and trying out a demo phone at a store I decided to switch. It's a cosmetic question more than anything: can...
