To many people care about the hot apps and games.

Well, Windows is so new, this app was not compatible

If an app is not available that I want (which is almost never), the web browser works just as well or better

There are also unofficial apps for many popular apps not present in the store that are awesome alternatives

I like the Bing Finance app to track my investments and the Travel app for booking tickets.

Phone has plenty of useful apps as well as games, but I am not really a gaming person

Without it, the only compelling reason to use a Windows Phone would be superior apps - which have also never arrived.

That was a little disappointing; however, most of the mainstream popular apps are there

The app store has got more popular apps since early 2013

Some apps from Microsoft (such as Office, OneNote, CRM, etc) are great on my Windows Phone.

All of my important apps now fit on the one screen without scrolling, and with the extra information from the apps I really get a good view of my life on one screen.

I have no idea how it compares to the number of apps on other devices, but the bottom line is that there are far more apps available to me on this device than I have time to keep up with.

I'm not a fan of the iPhone and always wanted to try a Windows Phone, but knew they lacked the apps of the "big 2"

I'm not sure - but this app may even be available on other phones too

Awesome note taking app from MS.Cons:-Internet explorer stinks

No longer am I lost in useless apps and games.

There are some of the most innovative and useful apps exclusive to this platform

Microsoft and Nokia also released some really nice apps that take advantage of the extra real-estate on the screen.

It's very smooth when switching apps, and, though much had been said about the small store, surprisingly had a lot of great apps

Well, after doing some research, WP8 pretty much had all the apps I was interested

The Samsung devices are built cheaply and have a ton of useless apps but they do run smooth and offer a lot of more features over the Apple products

The scene is a little more crisp, video playback is fantastic thanks to an impressively powerful 2.2 GHz processor- my only limitation is the quality of the WiFi service, and the available apps have been growing quite a bit (some apps are not available on less powerful windows phone devices because they lack the power to handle the high detail

The LinkedIn app, which started strong on the Windows Phone, has gradually gotten worse - to the point that I regularly get "out of memory" errors with it

The only thing lacking is certain apps.

The dreaded 'app gap' seems a bit over-blown, showing up mainly with financial services sites, and some lower tier apps.

only downside is not as many apps

Google has acquired some important apps (such as a navigation app that Android users find very helpful) that they are no longer upgrading for Windows Phone.

Very smooth operation, great quality hardware, and a small but robust selection of useful apps that show there is potential to the platform

The handful of popular apps they do have seem outdated and very badly written.

But apps aside, from a hardware perspective, this is a clear win.

Had the 928..like this phone, but it is little heavy and also the camera is not as responsive as the 928.

The buttons are nice and the travel on them is as close to perfect as I can imagine
