I am coming from an android to the windows phone. So the transition is a little hard. I couldn't transfer my info from the one phone to the other. Also the app store for it is a little skimpy. I chose this phone so that I could use the MS Office and access my PC from it and the other features. So far so good as far as that is concerned. If I wasn't coming from an android to the windows I don't think I would have a problem other then the lack of apps at the store. Its go a nice feel and all. I also am having a bit of trouble with the transition of the way the navigation is compared to the android phones. But like I said thats me not the phone. Over all so far so good. It doesn't have a built in GPS either so I had to find an app for that.
Why do they say 8 gbs???? IT IS NOT 8GBs, It IS 16 GBs!!!! The very first thing I did is void the warranty by upgrading the internal micro sd card for a 32gb card and do a cold reset. It has been 1 month now and works perfect with the new mango update. The phone specs leave a little to be desired of, but just keep in mind that windows doesn't require as much power and RAM to run fast. Battery life isn't as good as my old iPhone 4, but I really like how the OS as a whole, integrates with my windows live email, including skydrive. That's the main reason I bought it. Apps cost more than Apple apps, and not as many, but for the most part, I can do what ever I could do on the iPhone. And I do believe there is a very bright future to the Windows OS!!!
This version by Verizon actually has 16GB of internal storage, not 8GB. There is no possibility of adding more so that's a good amount. I had a choice of carriers including either Verizon, Page Plus or Selectel. The lack of Adobe Flash was a shock as Android phones have it. This Windows smartphone does not. There are video apps that still let me watch most Youtube videos, in the marketplace. The instant updating with Facebook and Windows Live is nice. The camera is great but I would like built-in photo editing like Crop and Re-size which it does not have. It's not perfect and it's not an Android substitute. It's built for Windows users that want the look and feel of a Windows OS.
this phone is much better than expected. Ditched my Blackberry after third replacement started giving trouble. The interface takes a little getting used to after many years of Blackberry, but I like the ease of use. they could give better instructions on how to do the common tasks, but windows website has pretty good tutorials. No crashes, or resets as yet. battery life if respectable. HTC could do some things better such as notifications. Verizon does not have visual voice mail for windows yet even though the phone is capable.
I'm very impressed w/this WP7.5 phone. It's my first "swiping" type phone. I've greatly enjoyed the WP7.5 experience. I've found it very intuitive and easy to use.Voice quality and reception are good. Importing contacts from outlook and google is difficult and lacks flexibility. The battery is a bit weak, won't make it thru a full day of heavy use. Other than those two, weaknesses, I'm very happy w/the phone and would recommend anyone to buy one.
