The problems you were mentioned, they are matter to me either. Microsoft should consider it seriously and should solve them. Those problems and apps shortage are the common reasons why people are not change to the Windows Phones. However Windows is the fastest growing os. It annual growth rate is 26%. However hopefully it will be more accurate within another 2-3 years.

Won't it be just easy picking multiple documents directly from your phone? Why pick a million pictures and yet not be able to attach just two documents directly from your phone, going to SkyDrive means more data spent! Sales picking up!!! Lol...Samsung sold 20 million galaxy s4 within 2 months! How many lumias has Nokia sold...put all the lumias together from 510 to th 925! See if you get 20 million units sold!Keep dreaming Man! I luv the hardware and the accessories! The OS sucks!

              Nokia has been posting increase in smartphone sales every quarter. Who is talking about feature phones here? Nearly every restriction is on iOS too, nobody complains about that. Symbian was the reason they went down and had it not been for WP, Nokia would have sunk.

              Saying 'WP sucks' does not justify anything. You need to say why.

I used symbian down to the last one...Nokia Belle FP 2! tell you the truth, I'll chose is time over time when pitched against windows phone 8!!! Microsoft is fond of imposing bizarre stuff on consumers...like that stuff they tried on Xbox one! daily internet connection and used games restriction! Well you know they reversed there stance when Sony PS 4 hit them hard with a sledge hammer! I tell you man, Nokia will not continue using sales of feature phones to stay afloat! if the continue with this current windows phone thread, they will surely sink! Like i earlier said, Windows Phone 8 sucks!!!

                        AnonD-78596, 08 Jul 2013I thought Microsoft was trying to build an operating system... moreFirstly Symbian was a first generation smartphone OS which is dead now. iOS started a whole new generation of OS and WP is built on the same. Android is a mere copy of iOS and Symbian and offers worst of the two worlds.

                        Everything stops when the screen back light goes blank -> Completely untrue. Things can run if they want to run.

                        no multitasking (why do pages always have to refresh?) -> Learn what multitasking is before making such a comment. Apps need not necessarily run always in the background. If they do that is TRUE multitasking. True multitasking has it's own disadvantages like battery consumption. For your info iOS DOES NOT support true multitasking. Both iOS and WP support 'fast app switching'. In both cases, apps can perform certain things like downloads.

                        No file Manager! -> This is the biggest PRO not CON. That buggy, insecure, outdated, ancient feature called file manager which makes life difficult than easy is not present, which is a good thing. Again, iOS does not have a file manager.

                        multiple documents can't be attached to an email(one at a time..lmao) {imagine you want to apply for a job that requires you to attach a cover letter and a CV...that means two separate emails...who will have the time to attend to your two emails with thousands of emails pouring in?} -> Not entirely true. There are third party apps like Mail Plus for this.

                        IE 10 wont download audio & video! -> This proves you have little knowledge about the OS and are used to primitive tasks. Firstly IE 10 does download whatever you want. Not directly, but via extending apps. For e.g GetThemAll. Here is the reason why: IE gives browser extensions for third party apps (without this, they would have to write the browser component themselves. Now if IE allowed direct download, these third parties would also get them. Then malware could be easily injected into it. That is why the OS is so secure. Apple Safari also shows the same behavior, except that they have a tedious downloader app written themselves.

                        NO WONDER ANDROID AND iOS REMAINS KING!!! Symbian is way way way ahead of Windows Phone 8!!! -> Your list showed you have ZERO knowledge of iOS and have never used it. Please research something before you post. I would like to know what you would say about iOS once you have used it. Also why Symbian despite being far far ahead fell to android and especially iOS.

                          I thought Microsoft was trying to build an operating system that was supposed to be better than Android, iOS and Symbian...instead they built the laser of the three! There is nothing smart about windows phone 8!
                          -everything stops when the screen back light goes blank
                          -no multitasking (why do pages always have to refresh?)

                          -IE 10 wont download audio & video!
                          -the list is endless.....

Videos cannot be downloaded from whatsapp though it can be seen on whatsapp. -> Videos can be seen as well as downloaded. You cannot sync them to hub as they cannot be checked for copyrights.

                              2. Pre recorded Videos & Audio files cannot be forwarded on whatsapp unless shot on whatsapp. -> Correct to a large extent, but this is not a demerit of the phone as whatsapp is a third party app.

                              3. While creating group, one can add upto only 25 in a group. -> Not sure how this matters.

                              4. While trying to send SMS in a group, SMS can be send in some groups only. -> Some people?

                              5. While working on several apps at a time, some apps like Skype, wechat etc load again everytime you switch from one app to other.This is so much gross.
                              -> Firstly this is the problem with those third party apps, secondly the OS tombstones them in memory to save battery.

                              6. While sending SMS, one cannot select x number of recipients at a time. It has to be selected one by one, this is irritating. -> Not true. Go to messaging, start typing. Select as many as you want.

                              7. While getting unknown call, TRUECALLER doesn't detect the number. This feature has been working super well on mobile such as nokia E5. -> So blame truecaller, a third party app.

                              8. This phone doesn't have gesture typing. This is biggest drawback. Hopefully some app will b launched in the future which will sort out this problem.
                              -> True as far as I know.

                              9. This phone doesn't have $ sign. One has to get it copy paste from internet. The way i did it now.
                              -> Not true. Press on your currency symbol and you will see $.

                              10. Still exploring the phone. Hope I don't come across anymore problem. -> Good. Keep exploring. The more you explore, the more you learn :)

                                      While Lumia 720 is a great phone, I am missing some basic functionality, which is a bit annoying.

                                      1. FM Radio
                                      2. Call Duration & Usage Reports
                                      3.Separate Volume control for ringer, music player and alarm
                                      4. Muli-select for contact - deletion purpose
                                      5. Option to disable "auto rotate" display (does not function ocassionally)
                                      6.No automated option to switch between wifi and data
                                      connection (3G). Useful if you don't want data charges to incur while wifi connection is available (say at home)
                                      7. A task killer - can see which apps are running but can't kill them
                                      8. Bluetooth transfer from other devices for some files -> does not appear anywhere
                                      9.Stand-by screen should have basic notifications like battery status, call, message, email notifications, wifi / data network status etc
                                      10.No file manager - rename, move etc functions are not possible without connection to PC (Smartphone ?)
                                      11. No onscreen option to Silence the phone for incoming call

                                      Keeping fingers crossed for Amber update...
