Yeah, most of the are fart apps...and the better one are much cheaper on the other platforms. Best advice is to stay away from WP and MS in general.

                  Best thing i ever done was get rid of my lumia800.Boring tiles and poor customisation..Cant stand how mind numbingly boring it is.Shame the likes of the one x and gs3 destroy it in every way and then the iphone5 will be out which will make people trade in there boring lumoas by the millions or should i say thousands.

                    AnonD-733, 05 Jun 2012Same thing for Android all apps ported from iOS, Who cares? The ideea is to have the apps available on this platform too, so if you switch from iOS to WP7/WP8 you won't miss your apps. Am i right or... am i right?

                        Yessss, at lasttt..... Have been waiting the apps to reach 100,000 barrier, been following the OS since it first introduce in MWC 2010, starting with only 3,000 apps. Always have faith in Microsot as i know they will succeed like they did with XBox. I think this is a different Microsoft with great coming up such as windows 8, WP8, and xbox with smartglass.

                        Keep going Microsoft, you make me proud owner of Lumia 800

                        Love you

                          probably 90% of these apps are rubbish, so you are probably left with 10,000, which is still good, but not enough compared to the two giants.

                          ovi store has lots of apps! 99% of them are kaka :S

                                  waiting for call blocker app.
                                  neither lumia nor WP has call blocker app.

                                  once they have I'll switch to WP.

                                    No matter how fast the apps are churned out, practically all of them are crap. Just pure crap. I am using a windows phone, and I'm just being honest about this.

                                        The WP Apps built quality is good but I really don't like all the restrictions in the OS it self.
