          Does Windows Phone 8.1 have a copy/paste function yet? They lost me back when they introduced Windows Phone 7 without it and stated that feature wasn't required by the customers to which they appealed!
          I haven't had a need to look back since!

                  Stig, 19 May 2014I have a Nokia 720. It's a great GPS but I couldn't use it as a phone. Just about everything... morejust when I was happy with the Nokia 1520 and was about to buy a new Nokia. They removed the SD Card slot.
                  They really screwed up. what is a "smart" phone without the ability to manage your own data files?
                  And why do they limit the SD when the photo files are getting bigger and biggers?
                  I am staying with Samsung which lets me manage my extra files with SD slot, and I can carry an extra battery ( not the extra size power bank).

                    I have a Nokia 720. It's a great GPS but I couldn't use it as a phone. Just about everything to do with audio on WP8 is stuffed. These days a modern phone OS needs to be a jack of all trades. It needs to do everything well, and one of those things is to be a media player. This is where WP8 is beyond awful. WP8 seems to have no idea that files should have date attributes.

                    If you add music, WP8 has no way to sort it by date added, modified, created or anything. Next April 1st, find a description of how you create a playlist and show it to someone. The joke will be that they will think it's an April fools joke but the twist that it isn't makes them fooled.

                    WP8 is pretty, and visually slick, but it's like a beatiful painting that someone has ripped a chunk off. You can see the promise of what it should be but it's so compromised you wouldn't hang it on your wall.

                          Note to the Editor
                          --------------------------

                          There is a typo in the second line of the paragraph under the screenshots of "Glance Settings" starting with "Now anymore as with..."

                          It should be corrected to "Not anymore as with..."

                          Replace the "Now" with "Not"

                          Nothing serious, but then while we're at it, why not fix it as well

But anyway, Im not a big fan of the S5 myself though, Nexus 5 is better IMO, and like you said, the S5 is ridiculously priced.

                                Jefferson, 12 May 2014Nokia does not want to hear from you any more than they want to support their products.Win 8 p... moremuch hate, have you?^^ WP is actually good and is definitely getting better. but this is only valid for people interested in both Nokia and Microsoft. if you don't like either, why do you bother posting comments? :(

                                    Microsoft should really fix the fallowing:
                                    Fast installing when gears show up for an update.
                                    When hard and soft reseting the apps and memory dont load right i have to turn my phone off.
                                    Battery life you should get a least a day and a half on all models 520-1520.
                                    The auto brightness bug need to be fixed too when i leave my screen off for awhile it gets really bright and i have mine on low with auto brightness on and its at night time. PLEASE FIX THESE

                                        Gladiator, 16 May 2014The advantage your WP has over a S5 is WP doesn't hang?? Lol, try harder dude..I think he means apps don't crash every 20 minutes for no reason, I'm talking about android in general. the S5 is just full of ridiculous features which actually one of them was just basically copying iOS, which makes its price higher for no reason
