                          Yeah its a glitch and MS will fix it very soon

                          what about your built-in android's tracking keystrokes, location, URL's stuff?
                          Dont wanna talk about it?
                          Has Google done anything to fix it yet?

                            9 out of 10 times a "blue screen of death" is the result of idiots trying to overclock their computer's CPU or RAM

                                    at least windows phone need a reason to crash, android do it without a reason :) and the aplications crash without a reason to :)

                                      This isn't surprising ... every OS has vulnerabilities when there new ... iOS had 'em android too and heck even Symbian i like WP7 but i'm sure MS will come up with a update to patch this up nicely .. WP7.5 is a relatively new OS when compared to Android and iOS so it has alot of catching up to do

                                        err every OS has bugs

                                        ios had a app which was on the app store if you uninstall it and reinstall it the app would open the internet and you will received a text which will cost you £5 per a text and that text would be sent every minute

                                        android had lots but the main one is the iqcarrier or whatever its called
