I use Windows, so I don't think I can help you. But when I first plugged the Lumia 920 into my laptop, it downloaded and installed the Windows Phone sync app automatically, then scanned my music library, and "matched" it with cloud versions, so all my library (well, most of it), is already "on" my phone without…

I'm right there with you. Switched to a Lumia 920 the week after they came out. And for many of the same reasons (though I hated iTunes so much that being rid of that was another good reason beyond being bored).

Yes, it is. Actually.

I got so bored with iOS, and then the boring iPhone 5 didn't change anything, so I just bailed and went with the Nokia 920/WP8 phone. I'm quite happy with it. My phone is fun and interesting again, and about half the things I do with the phone are twice as fast or good as the iPhone (better screen, better camera,…

All the more reason to vote Republicans out of office, and take the House away from them in 2014 (which would have happened in this last election if it weren't for the extreme GOP gerrymandering they engaged in). Disgusting that these ideological morons are actually in charge of anything.

Yeah, because people who write graffiti are expert spellers...

Microsoft is folding their Windows Live Messenger into Skype. You didn't mention it, but it seems that Microsoft might be pushing Skype for the general solution, in the way that Google is pushing Google Talk.

Interesting side-note with respect to iMessage: I switched from iPhone 4 to Lumia 920. And even though my service as all transferred, because iMessage doesn't go through the carrier or care about the SIM, everyone's text messages were still going to my old phone, not coming to my new one. AND THERE WAS NO…

Ignorant bigotry and intolerance and entitlement dont' become you.

So we're FINALLY getting those star-trek lighting panels I keep reading about in sci-fi??

Cost?

Best Windows 8 Desktop Apps: "Windows Live Essentials 2012" ... integrated SkyDrive into Windows Explorer is the marquee element, but it also gives you a decent POP3/IMAP-compatible email client, a decent free video editing app, and a decent free photo management/editing app, among other things.
