1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  7. 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.
  9. Ideally I would have liked a Nexus 4 but its a hundred quid more expensive for the same software experience. Might upgrade to one in the near future if Android works out.
  10. Personally I am looking for a cheap phone. I might try a Chinese phone. Jianyu G4 or so. Can forget about warrenty, kind of a lottery to get a perfect model, but if you do it has great value.

    Android I assume. Huawei aren't bad at all but they seem to be going more premium nowadays. Had an Ascend G300 for a while and it was impressive for the price.
