Windows Phone 8 Users Hit Some Snags

symbolset writes "As reported on The Verge, many people are experiencing freezing, rebooting and battery problems on their new Windows Phone 8 devices. This WP8Central thread shows many of the issues. Affected devices include Lumia 920 and HTC 8X." Every phone and every OS has its problems, and happy users probably aren't as vocal; it would be good to know how Windows Phone users who are also iOS and Android users compare them for reliability.

    Tempting.

    I'm kind of curious how you got Microsoft Office to boot.

    1998 called, they want their Windows complaints back, oddly enough when that stuff was true of Windows OSX still had the problem of apps locking up the whole system, damn that beachball!

    Hey, OS X has improved tremendously of late. Now it doesn't need apps to lock the system up - the OS can do it all by itself.
