The feature has already launched in regions like the UK and Indonesia
no burst-shot or HDR switches
slightly squishy two-stage camera button
the camera also begins to take much longer to focus
clips were quite shaky
the camera button feels a bit soft
There are bound to be some of your favorite apps missing
usually hidden under the back cover is on the left edge now
No bright colors or tile-inspired design
The budget Windows Phone bin is getting somewhat crowded
100mAh battery takes up a lot of space
battle demons
romantic attraction
and occasionally clunky dialogue
Bankrupting Twitter is not an eligible run submission for the second submission period
a purple-lit office space with glass doors
Microsoft s efforts in boosting total numbers of apps in the Windows Phone Store
color saturation was a little on the low side
it kind of gets lost in the shadows
battery life is dependent on how you use your device
There is nothing to like from an industrial design perspective
macro
cheap plastic construction and staid oval-shaped design
not stellar imaging system
many images were blurry due to camera shake
cellular infrastructure in the heart of congested Manhattan is often dicey
still is no smash-hit news aggregator for Windows Phone
Twitter icon A stylized bird with an open mouth
nothing too mind-blowing here
It symobilizes a website link url
often accidentally trigger the back or search button without trying
side-mounted microSD card slot
Microsoft uses the app on its end to compress data
