Last night I just sat down and watched the whole series of Windows Phone challenge and Smoked by Windows Phone on YouTube, and I really miss those features we had in WP 7.x and 8.0. Too bad that we don't have those hubs functional as before.

Nice. I've not seen that before.

Yeah, that was pretty cool, but we have Cortana now

I remember this commercial. Nostalgia for the win!

Yup, Cortana is great! But I would like they make something like this again with long press on Windows button.

If you're missing the "Local Scout" that Ben demonstrated, it's now part of Microsoft's Maps app. Still the same icon - 3 houses.

Isn't "Places" in Here Maps essentially the same?

I know, Bing vision is part of camera, Local Scout is part of Maps, and Music search is part of Cortana. Everything separated. Just saying it was better before, and of course we lost Bing homepage, that could be made as part of long press Windows key.
