Windows Phone 8 review

After four days of getting to know Windows Phone 8, our initial mood can be described as positive. While Windows Phone 7.5 already was a fine operating system, version 8 offers more options to customise the phone according to your own ideas and preferences. That is most visible on the home screen, but also functions like groups and simple stuff like being able to select the background colour of the mail app really are an added value. The promised better integration of VoIP services like Skype is also very welcome, while Internet Explorer 10 is a vastly better browser than IE9. It is not just faster and more stable, HTML 5 support is also much improved.
