HTC 8x Introduction

[Sheikboy]

Hi everyone,

So I recently decided to ditch my aging iPhone 3GS and was able to find a steal on a refurbished HTC 8x for less than 200 dollars (I always buy unlocked). I'm new to Windows Phone and wanted to know if there is anything I should know about the platform. I found the Windows Phone App on my Mac to sync stuff to it (contacts, music etc). I use Skydrive and Box for cloud storage (There are Apps for both). I only use Facebook for social media. Is there anything else I'm missing that isn't covered?

I travel a lot and was wondering if there was a Passbook-like feature on the phone, but it's definitely not a deal breaker for me.

Thanks!

Sheik
