I've been living without Bluetooth 4.0 peripheral support in Windows Phone 8. No syncing software (Zune does not support WP8), and now apt-X codec support which allows streaming of CD Quality Audio over Bluetooth.

The SIII and the HTC One Series with Android supports the codec. Currently No Windows Phones do. The list is getting longer. MS used to be cutting edge.

I do like the Windows Phone 8 from HTC (I currently have HTC's Incredible 2), but I also like HTC's DNA and couldn't decide between the two until the Blackberry z10 was unveiled. I switched from Blackberry to Android and since RIM has now come out with a truly competitive phone (shown to be faster than iOS 6 & Windows Phone 8) with an option to add external memory, I'm waiting on Verizon to get it before I upgrade.

I'm anti-cloud, what am I supposed to do with 16GB internal memory? LOL

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.
