  1. Same old Windows Phone. Almost there but keeps falling short in vital areas. The lack of a system wide back up facility is going to cause me to leave the platform if the time comes that I need to reboot the device. Unless you have taken screen shots you have absolutely no way of remembering your start screen layout.

    I'm stuck where I am though because I only rate high end android devices and the high end really isn't my scene any more.
  2. System wide backup is possible I think, but then to the other extreme. Complete system image, which includes the OS itself.

    Havent looked at it for a long time, but when flashing using unofficial ways there is a chance to backup.

    The in phone back up just saves a list of your apps and system settings does it not? Saved app data or save game data etc cannot be backed up. Or your home screen layout as mentioned above. Pain in the arse.
  4. Never use backups, only thing important to me are my contacts which are synced.
  5. Contacts are easy enough through google. It's just the time of reinstalling everything individually, logging in, pinning etc etc that I just couldn't be bothered with any more.
  6. There is MS page on the web listing all your app purchase / download history. You can then just click a link per app to download it to your phone. Its far from perfect and it doesnt make up for lost data. But more handy than using the phone's marketplace.
  7. I just wish that Microsoft would apply some urgency with these matters. At least give us the impression that you want Windows Phone to succeed.
  8. Yeah it is a shame, it is really easy to develop for. But also severely limited, for no reason.

    Windows Movie Maker / Live Movie Maker (depending on your Windows version) will get you sorted. Easy to use, freeware, quite powerful considering its cost and ease to use... You'll be happy.
  11. Another phone down. Having trouble on WP8 with my two most used apps (audible and podcasts). Both are poor and audible pretty much unusable. Galaxy Nexus on the way. I haven't used Android since Gingerbread and I've never used stock android so hopefully I like it because there's no other alternatives.

    I hear it's a great phone. Good luck with it. Stock Android is great recently. You can also get CM 10.1 for some added functionality.
