The wife and I both picked up new WP8 phones last week. I got the HTC 8x for $50 and she got the Nokia 822 for free, we are on Verizon. So i have a few questions.
First, I constantly see her getting deals on apps for free on her Nokia, where as I have to pay between $3 and $6 for these. Does HTC not do promotions like that, or does Nokia have a partnership with the developers, or do they just not mind picking up the tab for some apps?
When going through her list of apps on her store it is much more extensive, where mine is limited, are all of these just Nokia exclusive?
Will Nokia exclusive apps ever make it to the standard WP8 store?
Are there any plans for Swyp like feature for the keyboard?
I am having to constantly charge my phone on a day to day basis, my 2 year old Galaxy Fascinate with the same battery it came with lasts longer than my 8x, and I used that phone way more than I do my 8x. What gives? Is this a known problem?
Also noticed she has a place for SD card and has a removable battery where mine doesn't. Did I make a mistake in getting the HTC 8x instead of the 822? Why would a supposed "Flagship" phone lack these features where as a mid range phone has them? I still have 1 week to return the phone, is there an advantage to keeping the HTC 8x?
