:huhldup: One week review on Windows phone

3 complaints

- Group messaging issues which is a known bug, basically when u message 2+ ppl at the same time, every message that you send u in the group chat u get back to yourself, shyts really annoying, had to turn off group messaging


- I said this before but lack of apps is one thing but having a lack of apps and the quality of the apps you have being bad is whole another thing, case in point FB app (not even made by FB itself made by MS) app is lacking, doesn't update, cant scroll through photos bunch of other shyt

- Lastly how does IE suck so much, Ive been complaining about it for the last two pages but the coli is almost impossible to browse on there, i asked what browser the windows phone brehs on 8.1 are using and have heard nothing which leads me to believe that most arent using WP8 as there main phones , and its just not the coli its a bunch of other sites and :bryan: pops MS really? ive tried 3 other browsers and they all suck too (see my previous post)


Thats the bad, now the good

MS native apps >>>> google apps that compare

Office on your phone>> gdocs
MS news & weather apps>>>>
Cortana >>>google now

This podcast app they got on here :blessed:


I highly recommend from the brave few who do get a windows phone to go to the app store and download as many Microsoft made apps as possible


Two big features I have not tried out but will do so over the next fee weeks

- Music player
- One drive

Am going to upload some stuff to One drive and see how MS cloud service holds up

Lastly no complaints bout this Lumia 520 solid phone more than decent battery life

The coli works perfect. Where are your contacts stored? In your Gmail?

Yup I had to end up exporting to my SD to get them on 8.1, 10 wasn't reading my SD, hopefully the official update will be smooth for me
