He's probably giving out his GV number and pretending his official number doesn't exist. I've just started doing this, as I didn't know how transparent "use GV for every call" really was.
Still, I don't think this is a hole in WP as much as an Android-specific feature.
Well, there still isn't an official Dropbox app. Or Pulse or Flipboard.
How well does the WP8 app ecosystem stack up to iOS and Android? I'm talking about core quality apps and games here, not raw numbers.
Funny, I've been reading all the articles on my HTC Titan off of Pulse for months . . ..
Having said that above, the only apps of any consequence are from Microsoft at this time (as much as I hate to say it) - I've had an iPod touch and helped set up my mom's android (gingerbread) phone (as well as messed with my wife's [ICS] phone) so I've had exposure to the top phone OS' around. Hell, my last phone before this was a WebOS phone!
Out of all the phone OS' that I've used, Windows 7.5 is by far the most user friendly/intuitive phone OS that I've used. The only - and I'd agree it is the biggest - drawback is the lack of any apps for the system, and hopefully win8 will change that.
Regardless, I'm really excited for the 920 to come out. I'm pretty sure that's going to be my next phone.
Umm, you might wanna go back and recheck sir.
I'm sorry shorty, I'm a big fan of WP, but there are some significant apps missing from WP. Instagram is popular on both of the platforms, as well as a competent sports app (I want notifications, which NONE of them provided) like Sportacular - a lot of the cross-platform games like WWF are missing as well. Dropbox is a huge one as well - I really hated using the web interface.
OK, so, by your own admission there ARE apps for WP7, yes?

Ah, you're one of those LITERAL guys. You don't deny what I posted, though.

There are apps, but outside of Angry Birds, they are generally crap. There's not even a call-blocking app at the MS Store. I had a Lumia for about 2 months and it made the Blackberry App Store look positively plentiful.
Damn, I'm pretty sure my upgrade window expires at the end of the year and it seems highly unlikely to see the 920 on Verizon before then. Looks like I'll be trying Samsung or HTC. Hopefully :/
Latest I've read on the 920 is that it's a 6 month exclusive with AT&T. That leaves hope for Verizon getting it at a later time, but I'm not sure if I'm interested in waiting that long. My iPhone4 is just feeling slower by the day and as I window browse other devices I'm getting more and more annoyed with the 3.5" screen.
If Verizon screws the deal, you'll be waiting indefinitely...
Nokia 920 is awesome but HTC 8X looks almost the same. I dont think we have seen last of the fights for patent infringement. Come on HTC! You have copied the 90% of the Lumia. It's hard to believe Nokia and HTC came out with their win 8 devices which look and feel almost the same.

Things I never thought I'd live to see.. Microsoft fighting for privacy.
Eh, it's a short term problem. TMo should finish refarming 1900mhz spectrum to HSPA by the end of next year.
