There were no issues encountered in basic functionality such as opening and closing of applications, navigating from one screen to another and running basic apps such
as dialler, camera, app drawer, etc..
Overall though, the lack of apps lets Windows down, and the implementation of things such
as the dialler app and settings menu (to be covered later) still leave Windows Phone as the third player in the mobile world, and likely to remain there for some time.
The People app in HTC Sense incorporates contacts as well
as the dialler, which is more efficient (to an extent) than the native Android offering which has separate apps, but a cross-over in information.
There are certain things lacking from the experience, however: as mentioned, some of the core apps such
as the dialler and music player lack polish or features, and are just plain ugly.
One question though — is there a way I can remove some of the Android base apps that are there, such
as the dialler, to save resources?
