Oh, you’re the company that still has blackberries. Wondered who that was. 😊
Seriously, though, use WP8 for a week and you’ll start selling it to everyone.

First of all, any online emulators? That would answer a gazillion questions I and others have. I know with Android you can download a SDK and run the OS in a virtual machine. Anything similar? So here’s my main question: I’m very accustomed to accessing all my important information at a quick glance on my lockscreen (without even unlocking my phone). Just a quick tap of the power button I can view: Outside temp Forecast Upcoming meetings / calendar Unread email/SMS count Battery level And with one gesture I can read all my notifications. There are many other options too. Pretty much anything you can put in a widget, you can access. And I haven’t even had to unlock my phone yet… Can this quick visibility also be easily achieved on a Win8 phone? If so, I’d seriously consider it. From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:tvanderk...@expl.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 2:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: windows phone 8 I have been using it for 2 weeks now and have found it to be easier to use and slightly more accurate than Google maps is on my Android phone. (Since I have one of each I do searches, directions and locating using both simultaneously.) So far my WP8 maps have placed me at a truer location than my Android phone does. Android is usually accurate within a half block, WP8 puts me right where I am, but that is me in this city so YMMV. Driving directions have been basically the same, and I must admit to never having tried the traffic part of the maps app since there is no traffic to speak of in Tulsa so I never have to worry about avoiding it.

Mapping is poor on WP (well, maybe not compared to the latest IOS5 :) ) and many of the apps you'd love to use as a traveller on iPhone or Android just aren't available (e.g. apps to find local restaurants, public transport, book taxis). Apps like Instagram and Pandora don’t exist, nor does Google Maps. Bing search is poor (maybe not in the US, but it's just rubbish in every other country I've tried). Everything else, there's about one main option on WP, instead of several. If you have more than one LiveID (e.g. one for work, one for personal, one for Messenger), then working out how to get these to work together on your phone is a pain. Personally I don't care for Facebook integration with my phone contacts - and this is probably the one thing that WP does well. And there's a trial mode for all the games, so you don’t have to buy up-front.

I've been using Android on phone and tablet for a couple years, and just finished moving to all Win devices. I feel liberated. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:tvanderk...@expl.com] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 2:22 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: windows phone 8 I have the 8X while my wife has a Nokia 810 (doesn't have any of the issues mentioned about the 920) and they are both excellent phones. We went with different phones based on personal preference regarding size and feel and we are both very happy with our choices 2 almost 2 weeks later. I certainly don't miss Android, Windows Phone 8 is far superior for everyday use and don't even get me going on battery life.
