Android to WP8.

So I came from Android(Galaxy Exhibit 2 4G) and don't count on looking back.
Even on my Android phone I ONLY use one page for apps,so this seems easier/familiar.
It is A LOT faster than my Android phone and that cost me $200 on October 2011.
Sold it for $100 and I got this phone.
The thing is that some apps I use on a regular basis are not available.

One app I truly miss is Bleacher Report.
Sure Bing News app works for engadget,kotaku,etc........
I can even view Bleacher Report,but not in categories.
I end up seeing baseball and other sports I don't care for.

Also no good free video player that can play MKV?
I saw one for $5 and that seemed sort of steep and the reviews seemed bad.
VLC is on it's way,but until it is out,not much too say.

The other app is a banking app and that is understandable.

Anyone have some suggestions or solutions to me problems?
I would appreciate it

What kinds of sports are you interested in?

 

[jms_209]

Basketball(sort of)
NFL
WWE

I think that is it.

Mkv isn't supported, files have to be converted.
No use asking for apps, what you see is what you get.
Welcome to WP.

For NFL, you might like NFL Mobile.

Yeah the only thing I will not get is notifications on "breaking news",but I have 2 apps that do this nicely already.
Yeah i use the NFL app and WWE site/Bleacher Report site.
