Just want to point out I know this is a BETA build, and aware that it's still in development.
My 'fun' with the 10080 build so far ...
I get roughly 4 hours of battery life.
Try not to charge the phone for more than 30 mins (roughly) as the phone gets way too hot whilst charging.
Not able to turn the phone off. Holding the power button just restarts the phone.
No start screen - I managed to get the start screen by hard resetting the phone, but this can take at least 3 attempts.
If I can get the start screen, it'll only be accessible until I open an app. After this, pressing the home button will just reload the current app.
Date and time don't change.
No WiFi - it appears DHCP isn't working properly.
Cortana works, looks much better in this release. So far, this is the only way to view the interwebs as the news links open in Project Spartan.
Action Centre and settings pages work.
The lock screen doesn't always respond to touch.
I also randomly get a "Updates will install at 3am" toast, but when I check for updates, there aren't any.
That's all that I can remember for now.
--- Edit, I've remembered/encountered more ----
Restarting the phone takes anything from 10 - 40% battery life. So having to hard reset to get the start screen is very costly.
Camera app starts and works fine.
Somehow, earlier, I was able to pull down the action centre, but not swipe up to unlock :S
When restarting the phone (or powering on), there's a loud pop as if the speaker is turning on.
