EDIT: I ended up sticking with the phone and there are a ton of good tips in this thread for anyone who had a similar experience.
I couldn't stand it after 5 hours or so. I came from my iPhone 4 hoping to really love Windows Phone as I am sick of Apple's bull**** lately. The app selection is terrible. The apps are uglier and less functional. The web browser is horrendous.
That's what really did it for me, the web browser. Everything is rendered awkwardly. Does it not use webkit? The copy and paste was awful. I spent a good 3 minutes trying to copy/paste a link and gave up.
Why does anyone use this over iOS or Android other than "it's different and fresh and links my accounts together?" Seriously please someone tell me why it's better. I wanted so much to enjoy this but I just can't find any functional advantage over iOS, only disadvantages.
I've got the thing on eBay and the auction ends in a couple hours but the tinkery nerd side of me still wants to keep the phone.
