                Anonymous, 29 Oct 2012android took many years in establishing its market but windows phone standing neck to neck wit... morethe jump that android has taken..every year in providing better experience and latest features is unmatched by any other platform...
                honestly windows 8 is growing slow....
                it is still not on par with iOS..forget android...as GSMarena said.
                but after around 2 years it can(hope it will) be the best smartphone OS out their

                  why to use "Galaxy Series Wallpapers" on a windows phone Lock... it killed the appeal of the beautiful UI :P

                    DaMan, 29 Oct 2012Not if it means having a bad user experience. The main criticism against the old WIndows Mob... moreSo, what you're basicaly saying is that "more features = bad user experience" ?
                    WM 6.5 didn't had problems with features, it had problems with implementig basic phone features (calls, messaging, etc) and lot of others very poorly.
                    WP7 gave users less features and only stuff that will be really used. And look how it ended in percentage of conquered market.
                    I would really like for WP8 to succeed. But if it doesn't get more open it won't attract so many people that think they will.

                      Share files over Bluetooth
                      Do you want to share a photo or other file with a friend who has a smartphone, laptop, or tablet with them? There are a couple of ways to do it from your phone—one of them is to share it over Bluetooth.

                          "Windows Phone 8 is only now able to start matching up against iOS, and it's still got a lot of ground to cover to reach Android levels of functionality and customization options"

                          -- The idea is not to provide customization like Android so that EVERYONE knows and use the OS easily.
                          This is is entirely different idea done intentionally by MS. Love it OR hate it :)

                              WP8 has Bluetooth file transfer and even NFC transfer.

                                      have 2 simple questions:

                                      1. Can I play music by my own folders?
                                      2. Will I be able to use China map OFF LINE after downloaded it? (which is around 1GB)

                                      thx
                                      borys

Why dont u suggest to remove them! They want us to depend on their market place or app store for file transfer except ms included usb mass storage. U know how apple tightens its claws around you.
