Picked up my Lumia 920 last week before Thanksgiving and LOVE it! There are aspects I knew I would give up coming from my Galaxy S3 app-wise but I was prepared to live without it for the time being in order to jump into WP8 and a fresh interface.
That being said... I have an external facing box on my home network that I can access via application (not currently available on WP8) or by web address http://webaddresshere.com:9200 or :8081. The problem is while I can live without the application for the phone, I need to be able to at least view from the web address and IE on WP8 tells me that these type of web addresses are not support in IE mobile... I've tested on several other WP8 devices just to be sure and received the same result.
I looked around the app store for an alternate browser that's compatible but I'm not having much luck without Firefox or Chrome, etc... Does anyone have any similar experience or a workaround for this? I really want to keep the phone but without being able to access these types of pages it will have to go back until they become accessible via WP8. :unhappy: It really is a shame that this is the one stupid thing blocking me from being 100% satisfied with my device.
Thanks for your advice in advance!
