Now if Microsoft could get Windows 8 to work on my Android phone they would have my money. Maybe I just need to find some mods to make it look like Windows 8.

LOL, if Win 8 worked on this phone, I'd certainly buy it:

I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store

add me to the list. Samsung Focus Flash. Soon will be updating to a WP8 phone but not sure which one for now.

I'm not on the list :O

You are both now added, welcome! :toast:

Does it show anything on the screen? Sometimes on my 920 when I close out of an app and go back to the Star screen it will say "loading" and have those little loading dots animating, then it will load after a few seconds.

funny things is

1. WP8 make all phone on the same feets (hardware wise) HTC 8x has same perf as a 920/928

2. while on Android benchies are kinda usefull (kinda) on WP8 they are funny :D my 8X is faster than any other 8X and 10% above a 920/925/928 so its pretty innacurate

ok ok its not a : "htc is better than nokia: lets start a war!" i love both brand.

except the fact that Nokia's price are higher than HTC's one IE: if i want a 920 its 586chf for a 8X its 486chf, ok i know it has 16gb more and LTE support for the 920 but HSDPA+ is enough and also 8mPix versus 8.7mPix is pointless, oh i almost forgot 0.2" more for the screen but same resolution, front cam 2mPix versus 1.2mPix is also pointless (but in that case its HTC who has the upperhand) 200mAh for the 920 well it doesnt change much WP8 phones does well, even with 1800mAh (roughly 2d to 2d 12h regular use) also 162g versus 130g.

i took it 2nd hand so basically i paid 170chf (well not really 2nd hand since its still new) a 2nd hand Nokia 920 would cost me 399chf at lower price.

well if it come to the OS feeling: its not complete as iOs or Android but the experience is great, photo quality, sound, UI smoothness.

also 928 camera isnt the best but a reall good one indeed (928 is jut a Verizon 920 with a slightly different shap) but the point is : it has a real flash, wich is a reall nice feature.

The specs might not be all that different for the high-end phones but the designs are what set each apart (and a few other specific features). Which is fine really as WP doesn't need a quad core CPU and 2GB of RAM to run smoothly.

Far more secure then Android. Probably on the same level as iPhones.

Just got a 521 and I was curious as to how secure a windows 8 phone is.

Here's a link to the white paper on it http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ca/business/security


Secure boot - Windows Phone 8 secure boot allows only verified software components to execute, which supports platform integrity and helps protect against malware.

Code signing - Windows Phone 8 operating system services and applications are signed with a Microsoft certificate. This approach helps protect against malware and ensures that only trusted code can run.

App sandboxing - Windows Phone 8 app sandboxing prevents malicious apps from gaining unauthorised access to data and delivers a trustworthy platform for business apps.
Information rights management. Windows Phone 8 comes with full rights management support to help protect your organisation's intellectual property and is a cost-effective way of helping to prevent data leaks.

BitLocker device encryption - To help keep everything from documents to passwords safe, Windows Phone 8 encrypts the operating system and data files. With device encryption turned on, any file saved to the phone is encrypted automatically.

Finally upgraded from Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 8 and a Lumia 920. I'm absolutely loving this phone. It's beautiful, elegant, snappy, has a good amount of memory, and as I've already inadvertently proved twice, virtually indestructible! And Windows 8 platform works MUCH better on here than a desktop!
