Can't believe no one has mentioned Rdio yet. Its spotifys direct competition.

I agree with the nextgen reader recommendation. Its my fav by far!

Loving the galactic reign, going from phone to surface and back again is slick. FYI it was developed here in Vancouver by Slant 6. Anyways, I've added those of you who posted your gamertags, feel free to add me gamertag: Ragingcowy

I have the Nokia purity earbuds on my HTC 8x. I can report that the music controls all seem to work, including pause/play, skip track, back track, and volume control. This is in both Xbox Music and Rdio. Though i have had some issues with using the built-in mic during calls....but i've only...

Same as you Jonny, i got the 8x cause it thought it was a better looking (and feeling phone) than the chunky Lumia's out there. The only nokia exclusive app i missed (i had a lumia 900 previously) was Nokia Drive, which is now available to all of us. That being said, if Instagram comes to Lumia...

Those atom battery life times actually sound pretty good...id consider a atom based tablet.

Though I'm not happy about the current app situation, I do feel like the future looks bright. Window 8 slowly but surely is going to expand the user base. While devs may not be impressed with current WP8 numbers, they will eventually feel the need to create metro apps for the desktop/laptop...

Go for the surface, it's industrial design is lovely in person and for me industrial design counts. Like you I chose windows rt when my old laptop started showing its age. The office suite is surprisingly robust and powerful and if you really felt the need to have a laptop experience, you...

Fair enough.

I only have the HTC 8x 8GB version, considering i use netflix and rdio, i've never even come close to filling it up, always seem to have 2-3gigs free, even with a large amount of games installed.

Considering i'm never really on the homescreen for any measure of time before going into a app, it doesn't really bug me. I suppose if i left the phone on all day on my desk with the homescreen active, it would bug me........i guess.
