Does it have custom fields in contacts or is it crap like previous windows versions? This feature is a deal breaker expecially for business customers....

                  Anything over a day is fantastic for me.
                  Adding that a few minutes on charger can give me a few more hours, also makes it better in my mind.

                          AnonD-426702, 03 Dec 2015I think only XL has liquid cooling - for 810. 808 is not getting that hot. Oh, but it gets hot, and I mean hot, especially when running Continuum with opened programs on both screen. But even in the highest of pressure, it doesn't overheat, in fact the panel seems to cool down a bit after a while.

                          So, why I can't find official statements on the matter, except the slides from the official announcement even where Microsoft stated BOTH have liquid cooling, I think S808 needs it for Continuum.

                          I will check further on the matter about the cooling system and will update the review if necessary. Thank you all for the input!

                                  Couldn't find my bank app, my carrier app, MAPS.ME (best offline maps), couchsurfing, hostelworld, booking, grindr, transport app like buses or train in Belgium, or very useful and funny small apps.

                                  Quantity and popularity don't mean quality. But in that case I'm sorry, WP is very shitty for that and it's not a coincidence if it's the less popular system among the smartphones.

You just have a few filters, you cannot touch the contrast, clarity, saturation, or none of the others setting. It lacks of the new format of Instagram as well and videos. It is just meaningless compare to the Android and IOS version.

                                        That is not much when you consider that a user that buys this kind of phone is all the time doing something with it.
