As a WP8 user, I've been using my Lumia 920 since day 1 back in November last year and don't regret it at all.
My wife has had her Lumia 800 for almost 2 years, and it's slowly showing its age - battery life is waning, app support is dwindling, etc.
Now we've started looking at some successor models for her, and have come across the HTC 8X. She loves it because it's just a bit smaller than my L920, and because it is substantially lighter - "feels good in the hand" kind of feeling.
On top of all this, it's available on amazon.de for under ?230 SIM-free, which seems an awfully good price.
My question is, do some HTC users feel somehow "crippled" by the lack of Nokia apps etc.? If I'm not mistaken, Nokia's Here Maps, Drive+, Transport and Citylens have been made available also to non-Nokia WP8 handsets.
Does anyone out there have any tips, suggestions, warnings? Thanks in advance!
