Are you disturbed at the "cluttered mess" or that they eliminated your "breathing room"? In my opinion, Microsoft erred in revealing the new Start screen the way they did. The truth is that, even though tiles can now be resized to one's liking, it can still be made to look exactly like Windows...

Can you explain how WP8 looks nothing like Windows 8? To me, they look very much alike...various-sized live tiles against a plain background. That's straight-up Metro UI. Now, if you said that iOS looks nothing like OS X, I could see that, but I don't understand where you're coming from...

Actually, it's not... "There's been discussion about native Skype integration," says Sullivan. "That's not really how I'd characterize this." Microsoft is building in the APIs and infrastructure to support generalized VoIP applications in Windows Phone 8, including Skype and others. "Skype...

The purpose of today's WP8 event was not to announce the new OS's end-user features but to discuss the "plumbing" being developed to enable them. I understand that current handsets not getting WP8 in all its glory is a bummer, but Microsoft made the decision they felt they had to for the greater...

Yup. This doesn't work, and it absolutely infuriates me. GRRR!!!

You can't. Windows Phone doesn't support any punctuation, the exception being that it seems to automatically add a question mark to the end of anything that begins with who, what, when, where, how, or why. Aside from that. There's nothing Period (pun intended)

Does anyone have any feedback...know what I'm talking about? I think it's really, really odd that this is a "limitation" of the OS.

I think my question was misunderstood. Either that, or my phone is...uh...I don't know. I also should mention that I just reset my phone (bummer), and it's still just the same. Allow me to try and elaborate/clarify: Say I receive an email from my friend. We'll call him Bob. Bob sends me some...

This issue is not "fixed," as far as I can tell. I have the same update as the others in this thread (the latest) and my phone still chooses cellular data over wifi sometimes, even when I'm at home and my phone has a full-strength connection to my router.

I apologize in advanced if this is covered somewhere else in the forums, but I searched and couldn't find anything. I would like to know if anyone else has this issue and/or whether or not this is a known "can't do that" with Mango... I received an email that I wanted to forward, but when I...

I'm all updated to 8107 but still having issues with Gmail and my phone syncing properly. I get new emails on my phone, but inevitably, any emails I delete on my phone never seem to be deleted in Gmail. Anyone else seeing this?

Wait for WP8, and consider all OEMs -- not just Samsung. I had a Samsung Nexus S 4G, and it was okay, but the AMOLED display, to me, glazed everything over with an artificially blue tint and color saturation was way overblown. I recently picked up a Radar 4G, and it's amazing. The Super LCD...

Probably not a lot of people asking for WP on Metro either. I'm willing to bet a lot of people who go with Metro are those who can't afford or don't want to spend the money on an iPhone and walk into a Metro store and ask for "one of those Android phones" that so and so told him about. In short...

I don't get it. If these renders are accurate, these phones appear to have capacitive buttons. Most phones that are designed to go "downmarket" almost always have physical buttons, like the 710, which is supposed to be a more "upmarket" device than the 610. Either MS's fee for Tango is...

I like the top one. Just never understood the four colors...
