I used a dedicated wall charger.
btw, nowadays its charging in 2 and a half hours. Maybe it was a new battery in the 1st week, that is why.

Also, I might have been expecting too good a battery life from the 2000 mah. With 3g on it lasts for like 15 hours max :(

Wait, it was a new phone ?
Then not surprising. I have seen things like this with mine in the first month. Then it settles to a nice and easy one day full life cycle. Nothing to be worried right now :)

WTH? Just because MS made it you hate it ? That doesnt make any sense. Remember the Youtube app? That one was far superior to google own. I'll never understand this obsession with first party. If thats a concern - there are few real first party apps, a lot of them are outsourced. Just my two cents.

Al I care is for is a working app that doesnt irk the service provider and therefore susceptible to breaks.

Even i hate it when MS makes 3rd party apps. Its not job of MS to make it. It sets a bad precedent and sends out a wrong message. If it becomes a trend, no one would bother to make apps on this platform.

MS developed YouTube because users were desparate and that is one of the selling point for any mobile device today.

I have to disagree with that opinion. MS is being cheeky here. They know what they are lacking is in the app department. SO now they develop these key apps to invite more users into the ecosystem, and when the marketshare hits the tipping point of something like 20% then the devs HAVE to come on their own - its a bad business choice if they dont. Only google will likely not get aboard.

The situation is not ideal, but this is indeed the best MS can do. Look at the alternative - no apps at all - who wants that? and how does it help anyone ?

Its a question of how soon you want to reach the tipping point, if ever. The exact same thing happened on the desktop metro. Doesnt windows 8.1 remove auto-cync of FB and flickr, a feature that was present in windows 8 ? See the cheekiness there ?

Has GDR 3 fixed other storage woes? Microsoft claims so, just wanted to check if it works.

Yeah, MS app is better than no app. But the whole hoopla over instragam coming to WP makes you believe that instagram is making it. :|

The problem is that 1st party apps get feature A in November. MS app gets it after 6 months in april or maybe later. Just look at the FB app.

Btw, now that Windows RT has the FB app, I just hope wp get's it soon, because TBH, in the current state...

FB mobile site > MS FB app :|

W2 got no scratch-resistant glass, no memory card slot, Bluetooth v3.0, no FM radio (maybe a minor concern).
That means, the user has to live with the 6.1GB of inbuilt storage forever, along with the Other storage problem. Maybe, W2 is not for app junkies.
