I am very excited about the combination of hardware and software.
++ As I already longer synchronize all data on SkyDrive and Hotmail, the phone was set up in a short time and stocked with all address data of my contacts.
++ What excites me to WP8 that I have included all the information about my contacts from all networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google and Hotmail within one user interface and the status updates get in one place, without going into your application. You can contact without me having to use the FB or Google+ app also contacts directly from the Contacts management through Facebook, Google or via SMS.
Photos of FB, Google, SkyDrive and locally are in folders under Photos, ie all in one place, even though the data are stored distributed.
That's what I call a real solution in times of cloud and social networks!
++ Oh the Nokia 820, so that makes the hardware so far a very good service. Everything runs smoothly and apps launch super fast. I often use my phone as a music player, I find the way to the memory card expansion slot very well. 64GB because it fits what;)
++ Now in winter it is very pleasant to be able to answer a call without having to take off the gloves. Yes even typing messages can be wearing gloves and you must also not be afraid to be great mistype, since the keyboard is learning well. In Saturn, which worked just fine and I could not believe how good the results were.
++ Nokia Software enriches the phone a lot and makes a real difference
++ The photos I find also very good and sufficient for FB & Co., as for everything else, I have specifically Photographic Technique.
++ Professional I use frequently MS Office apps, and, above all, OneNote with notebooks in the cloud, so that they are all on the same page. Therefore me the integration of SW accommodates full.
++ Finally no more iTunes and I can sometimes music can play from a friend on my cell phone
- You have to hope a little to improve only in the music players, though Album Flow already comes very close to the usual music selection.
- Common volume control to music on headphones and ringtone through speakers not going. MS has in desktop Windows but can also regulate a mixer integrates the different sources. Hmmm necessarily touching up MS! Do you use any WP8 phones? If so this error would be any Noticed.
So far, I miss no Funtionalität or app from the Apple world, because in WP8 Store I've always found an app that gives me the results I was used to.
All in all, the changeover was already almost boring and uneventful and boring, because everything in the shortest time easy and I got much more than I had so far and as I had expected. I'm excited!
