I got my win8 phone saturday, and I can unequivocally state - after 3 days of testing using WIFI connection -
this is the WORST operating system I have ever seen.
Granted its the first release and that is never a good thing, but unlike others, Win does not "update" operating system releases, so probably what you get is what you will end up with on these phones.
I "upgraded" from a Symbian Belle, which in my opinon was about equal or bit worse - no wifi calling - from Symbian Anna.
Both Anna, Belle and Android though are miles better than this Win 8 !
I could not have imagined how raw and useless Win 8 is. Not sure what Nokia is thinking betting all the marbles on this......
Interface is ok. So what.
Its functionality & compatibility that determines usability !
not useless apps !
It seems Win 8 is another gimmick geared to the t-somethings that have no serious uses for a phone except linking it to Facebook and Xbox !
So far:
1. No flash player. - integrated IE does not support FLASH AT ALL !! go figure.
2. No wifi calling
3. No integrated Media Player - so no streaming URLs.
Feel free to add to the list, or if you have any aps or information on how one can correct this on Win 8, please post
