DISCLAIMER!!! I AM NOT TROLLING! I OWN 2 WP8 devices, Windows Surface RT, and Windows 8 Pro. I am only speaking as a concerned user!!!! I LIKE MICROSOFT!!!!
So, I?ve had the 8x and I?ve had the 920. Both are great phones in their own right. The 920 is a photography powerhouse, while the 8x boast nice rich sounds (I found this out this morning when I listened to my favorite songs in the 920 and it didn?t sound the same.) But the area where I feel like these phones fall short is WP8 in general. I jumped on the Lumia 900 the day it releases. I like the concept of Windows Phones. It's fresh and different but, I accepted the WP7.5 deficiencies in hopes that they would be fixed in WP8. I was wrong. And I could be wrong in my thoughts, so correct me if I am. With some of these things missing, what will keep new WP8 users? Some will say that only power users will notice WP8 shortcomings, but some of the things MSFT left out are basic...at least in my mind. Notice I never once said anything about missing apps. That will come with time especially with Windows 8 and surface tablets on the rise. Devs will cash in on making things for all three areas.
I am failing to see this massive super overhaul that MSFT said WP8 would be in comparison to the WP7.5. The start screen change is great. But I still can?t easily make a playlist on the go (I use my phone primarily as a communication music device), I still can?t separate the volumes for each type of sounds. I still can?t save that cute video of my daughter that my wife sent me over e-mail to my phone or to some sort of cloud storage. My Wi-Fi still is off while my phone is in sleep so I keep getting data ticks on my account. I was looking forward to data sense, but they failed to mention that this was on Verizon only (Am I wrong in saying they failed to mention that?). Closing apps is stupid. To close out apps I have to press the back arrow a million times OR go into each app then press he back arrow until I am finally out of that app. Why not give me a tiny X in the corner of the app window so I can close it?
These are just a few of my major gripes. I can?t say if iphones do these things or not because I haven?t used one in over a year (Iphone 4) My android can do all of the things I mentioned above. I am in no way trying to troll, but I am trying to find some logic in what MSFT is doing with WP8 and I also want to find out what they claim to have changed. I remember when 7.5 came out there was a HUGE list of changes. Where is this list for WP8? Can anyone supply me with this comprehensive list like they did with 7.5?
