Steven which phone did you get and are you on AT&T or Verizon. It appears you are on AT&T from what you said. Jon Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 10:16:46 -0800 Subject: Re: windows phone 8 From: sep...@gmail.com To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com
Let's see... I have had a Windows Phone for a while now. For what I do I like it. I have had a semi-crappy week so haven't had as much time playing with my new toy (got my 920 on Monday night) as I would like but while fresh... I signed in and Linkedin/ Twitter integration was done. Added a Facebook account and a Gmail account and pretty much done. All my contacts populated, I have IM or SMS as I choose, normal stuff but the accounts wok more smoothly. Took off all the ATT apps. Tile sizes, like it, spending way to much time figuring out which tiles are needing to go where. When their commericals 'reinvented around you' showed up I thought meh, but what you pick does really show how you use your phone. My wife jokes that she is horrified to be the 'social butterfly' but my tile set choices and various friends tile sets are very different. I like the Family Room feature. The Rooms feature is kind of like an expanded Groups feature but with an automatically generate 'shared OneNote' prep'd for you as wel as a Calender and IM in a spot. I set mine to backup configuration and pictures to the cloud so it all shows on my SkyDrive. I keep hearing about this 'lack of apps' but it hasn't affected my use. I have some games, Amazon kindle and mobile, DeekFit Gym Pro and Crunchyroll. The Weather Channel app came on it but I am debating about switching to what I used on my old phone. Since I have a Xbox music subscription none of the other services matter to me. If you have a long term relationship with a specific app with data in it, I could see your concern but otherwise there isn't anything I am doing that I couldn't do natively or found an app for. While I haven't changed the defaults on the lock screen of what notifications show up because they work for me, my wife immediatly did on hers. I am still finding my way around the Windows 8 / wp8 desktop sync tools. It did pick up my music from my XBox Music selections without a sync but I like local music. Just haven't had time to explore the differences. I suspect it has more to do with some fundamental differences and that I haven't sat down and looked at them much yet. My dad likes his (7.5) becuase his Black Berry was having frequent issues with mail account authentication and no matter what it would just lose it's mind so I took a chance and talked him into it. He loves it. The email and contacts just plain work so that and the ability to make text bigger with pinch to zoom is his 'killer feature' but I know he's got like 10 games on it which he always _ahems_ about. I suspect he will go for the Nokia 820 which is a little smaller when it's renewal for him. So... I like my phone becuase it just works. My old one did as well, but this one seems smoother.

Wait for it.... Notetaking! (Sorry :) On a serious note, the lack of this has drove our company mad. We used to get Notes sync via Good Messaging, but then they dropped it. ActiveSync STILL doesn't do it. At this day in age, I find that insane. Not even Windows Phone 8 fully implemented their own AES protocol?!? Color me baffled. For now, until Good brings Notes back to the clients, I've told my user to stick with Springpad or Evernote for personal notes. Sam -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.
