1
00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:12,960
welcome to day four of my I switched

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:21,199
video blog where I'm going from my iPhone 4 to my uh HTC Windows Phone 8 8X

3
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,320
phone you can see I've got the shakes now because I'm going through withdrawal

4
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:29,519
actually it hasn't been that it hasn't been as bad as I thought uh probably my

5
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:31,519
biggest frustration has been um they not

6
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:36,040
being easy and convenient way to Port over all of my SMS messages although

7
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:39,680
speaking of SMS messages so we're going to we're going to get right into this

8
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:44,160
here so so here we go typing a text message

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,960
so there a couple cool things so number one is that the keyboard suggestions are

10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:55,760
pretty cool so if I go like this there's a very good okay well see bad example

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:00,879
Hela comes up before hello so

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:03,280
how are you doing today

13
00:01:00,879 --> 00:01:07,280
so it actually has a fairly intelligent system for suggesting what the next

14
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:10,119
message that you might want to send is this is also really cool too actually

15
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:15,479
you know what I'm going to go through an order because I have notes so it helps with punctuation which is cool so check

16
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,119
this out it put in a space for me so if I did want to type rather than selecting

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,880
a word I could do that but if I press period it'll actually retract that space

18
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,720
so the iPhone in my experience hasn't really been that intelligent about uh

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,320
punctuation a lot of time I have to make Corrections so it's uh it's it's nice to

20
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:39,119
it's nice to have that done for me uh there's no password to update apps so

21
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,640
updating apps was as simple as I don't

22
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:46,159
even remember it was really really

23
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,840
really simple and I have totally lost it

24
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:51,799
now it might have been in like settings somewhere maybe it was like I don't know

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,240
updates or something but the point is that phone update I don't know maybe it

26
00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,799
wasn't a phone update the point is updates were simple all I have to do is press the button it updates uh

27
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,039
everything Auto fill during typing predicts en oh yeah predicts entire

28
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:09,360
words yep reminder set with one minute granularity okay this was something that

29
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:12,200
I found to be a bit of a challenge so uh

30
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:18,760
if I want to add a thing so I go okay what time um you can set times for

31
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:23,480
things with one minute so iOS is a bit of a bear to do this with uh however I

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,560
found that scrolling to scrolling through this is a bit of a

33
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,120
challenge um well it's not I mean it's not a challenge obviously you can do it

34
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:35,360
but it takes longer than if you just had a drop down that was every 5 minutes I

35
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,800
think every 5 minutes would probably be a good balance between being able to

36
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,040
select exactly the right time 12:17 p.m.

37
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:47,000
versus not being able to um I find that this little contextual guy actually does

38
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,360
something sometimes but doesn't do something other times in fact the

39
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:56,760
inconsistencies in the UI are a little bit weird so sometimes confirm is

40
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:00,080
denoted with a check mark whereas other

41
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:02,040
times uh right there we go whereas other

42
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:08,360
times there you go it's actually denoted with a dis so normally I would expect

43
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,879
any kind of uh change commit to be the

44
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,040
same icon regardless of of where I am

45
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:19,120
and for that matter things like a confirmation so here I'm going to go to

46
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:20,959
Twitter really quick so sometimes when

47
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:27,400
you're when you're typing something or whatever else sometimes uh the confirm

48
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,319
is done through enter whereas other times the confirm is done through a

49
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:35,360
button down here and so those those little inconsistencies in the UI can be a

50
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,959
little bit can be a little bit weird and can make it a little bit a little bit

51
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:43,560
distracting when one app is different from another one uh sometimes y

52
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:48,480
sometimes music okay music navigation I wasn't that impressed with so the first

53
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:53,000
thing is that other than going into the Xbox music app there doesn't seem to be

54
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,280
a quick way to get to music if you had Music open you can use the multitasking

55
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,640
key here to go to yeah see it's gone now

56
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,200
for some reason but uh so so you can

57
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:11,640
click the volume here and that'll bring down a music navigation um display here if you have

58
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:13,720
it open so let's go ahead and find some

59
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,639
song that we're going to play so now when I go out of there you can see that

60
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:22,400
navigation there and I can switch between okay I would be able to switch

61
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:28,240
between songs except again the the music navigation I'm finding to be a bit um a

62
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:32,199
bit insufficient so there's no see look I pressed play to pause it just now now

63
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:38,840
or to play something else or whatever's going on um so you have to go to

64
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:43,840
collection and then you can't go to music and press play here to just play

65
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:49,880
all your songs if you play these then you won't be able to change it see and

66
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:54,400
then if you go out here you actually have to press play here to start your

67
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,639
whole collection going on shuffle and then if you close down the app in

68
00:04:56,039 --> 00:05:03,639
between that actually doesn't take you back to the song that you were listening to before and we'll reshuffle it so if

69
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,280
that's what you wanted to do then that'll work for you again I'm pressing

70
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,400
I'm pressing play because that's the only button I have that um that that

71
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:17,639
will do anything whereas if I go in here then I can play and pause and start and

72
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,039
stop um so I did find find music

73
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:23,639
navigation to be a bit frustrating I also discovered that the Xbox music app

74
00:05:22,039 --> 00:05:27,720
is actually not available on anything other than Windows 8 and I have not

75
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:32,800
upgraded my PC to Windows 8 yet I'm waiting till I finish my personal rig

76
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:35,400
haha um before I do that I'm getting a

77
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:38,880
look from slick right now but uh that means I have to use the older Zoom app

78
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,680
and I haven't actually installed it yet but maybe that'll be in my sort of you

79
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,560
know day 10 or day 15 or whenever I do my next update so so that's where the

80
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:50,680
integration comes in I actually had a coupon I don't know where it went for a

81
00:05:47,919 --> 00:05:55,360
one-year subscription to Xbox music for $100 or whatever it was and so I've

82
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:59,680
subscribe to that and that's really cool because it means I can basically ignore

83
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:05,520
my collection oh yeah then there's no convenient way to just sort by songs so

84
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:09,680
you can go music you can go and it doesn't remember the way that you prefer

85
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:14,160
to sort so it'll take you to artists every single time even though that's not

86
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,240
how I sort and I found uh I found this

87
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,160
really frustrating so I have to actually

88
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:25,960
go like this to get down to a song that starts you know if I remember it starts

89
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:27,280
with you know M I have to actually do

90
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,440
this to go through it there's no quick scroll like there is on Android and iOS

91
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,759
and you'd think that this would be a dedicated search button for sort of

92
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:40,240
whatever app it is but it always takes you to Bing search and if you search for

93
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:44,919
I don't know Hello Kitty or something like that hello cotti see got it uh and

94
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,919
oh it doesn't autoc correct a lot of the time um although it's it's already

95
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:53,919
adapting to my Tendencies so that's kind of cool so I I can't quite decide what I

96
00:06:52,039 --> 00:06:59,400
think of the predictive text yet see this is another thing where like I would

97
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:02,599
think pressing search in a search bar on

98
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,520
no no you press enter for this okay um

99
00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:09,240
it always takes you to images and media first and I don't know that there's a

100
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:14,960
way to change this to uh to search for web or I mean either local or web search

101
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:18,759
are more logical to me than media I don't necess unless I search for picture

102
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,919
of Hello Kitty I don't think that that's necessarily the most natural thing to uh

103
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,599
to go with um right so I wish the search button was a dedicated search button

104
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:31,639
even when you're here it's going to search for some random thing on the internet uh you you can use voice search

105
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,879
which is kind of neat I did try it it is quite accurate um notifications won't oh

106
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:41,120
yeah notifications don't move on their own so if I click outside of this this

107
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,039
just kind of stays and it doesn't really go away that's a problem I have with iOS

108
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:49,159
as well like especially because I'm a heavy Twitter user oh and the Twitter

109
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,680
app is just terrible for Windows Phone 7 I'll get or Windows Phone 8 I'll get

110
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:57,199
into that more later um so where was I going with that yeah

111
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:00,599
it bothers me in iOS as well because the notifications come down here and a lot

112
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,879
of the time I can't exit an app until they go away and I'll have tweets coming

113
00:08:02,599 --> 00:08:07,800
in so it'll be quite a while and I'll have to like try to be really really

114
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:13,280
accurate and try try and close it so this is not just a Windows Phone 8

115
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:16,199
thing uh brightness randomly boosts when switching apps so for here hold on it's

116
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:22,919
want to make sure I don't have any private conversations anyway there you go see Skype is super bright and now

117
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,440
it's dimmed again so that uh that's been just kind of annoying when sort of it's

118
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:32,399
dark and speaking of brightness there's only actually uh three settings for

119
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,360
brightness so I found even on iOS the brightness options were not necessarily

120
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:40,200
enough for me and I used there's a screen dimming app that you can use to

121
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:45,399
dim it even lower well this one has low medium and high and then you can turn on

122
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,320
or off automatic adjustments and that's

123
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:51,160
pretty much it so I did find that a little bit frustrating has a built-in QR

124
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,839
Code Reader that seems to be an HTC Edition and it works extremely well it's

125
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:59,320
one of the faster ones I've experienced uh landscape mode sometimes isn't

126
00:08:56,839 --> 00:09:03,480
graceful so for example the tile UI completely doesn't work in landscape

127
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:08,480
mode at all um and then a funny thing about the phone is you actually cannot

128
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,800
turn off auto rotate so the phone will

129
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:15,600
always always always auto rotate I have Googled it it is a thing uh you cannot

130
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:19,760
turn it off so I'd love to see them add this functionality cuz when you're like

131
00:09:17,079 --> 00:09:23,160
lying in bed doing something then it's nice to be able to still use it in

132
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:29,800
portrait mode if you're reading a longer article or something like that so I would appreciate that um here's a funny

133
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:34,480
thing about the auto correct again so here we'll type something to uh to

134
00:09:31,839 --> 00:09:40,760
diesel uh autoc correct doesn't help you compensate for a missed space for

135
00:09:36,279 --> 00:09:42,920
example so if we said hello oops how

136
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:47,240
it's not going to oh this is the first time I've seen it do that okay well

137
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:52,959
there you go I was wrong um one thing that it doesn't do is it won't uh

138
00:09:49,959 --> 00:09:56,480
compensate for okay apparently I'm

139
00:09:52,959 --> 00:10:01,800
totally wrong about this so maybe hello

140
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,150
is just a more common one so there

141
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,399
are

142
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:11,120
some okay well I'm totally wrong about that so the auto correct is better than

143
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,959
I thought it was it looks like it's just kind of missing things from time to time

144
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:19,360
because it's only when I see it that I kind of go oh it didn't catch that

145
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:26,200
um H okay one thing it definitely doesn't

146
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:33,360
do is what I've seen iOS do is uh here so let's go with a word like uh uh okay

147
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:38,920
ho where I accidentally put in a space it does not suggest ho to me whereas I

148
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:42,120
have seen that done in iOS but I don't have much experience with Android on

149
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:45,120
that one so and I mean all of this is just sort of my experience with it so

150
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:51,120
don't take it as sort of the Gospel truth the only way uh auto correct okay

151
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:55,920
the auto correct uh auto correct is kind of cool

152
00:10:53,240 --> 00:11:01,959
it's uh cool if you

153
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:09,480
don't type that fast but as soon as as soon as

154
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,800
you want to speed

155
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,079
up it doesn't really see it's not really suggesting anything fast enough for me

156
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:19,079
to actually use it so so that was something that I observed was that it

157
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,920
was useful if you're slow but if you're not then it's not that useful however

158
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,600
those of you who are really fast on the keyboard are probably not going to have that much trouble with it anyway I

159
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,480
wouldn't have minded a more Square keyboard and I wish you could change the

160
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,079
keyboard uh one thing that I found from my first blog that is not as bad as I

161
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:38,120
thought it was was the underscore you don't have to do this to access it you

162
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:43,639
can K away okay you can just go like this so

163
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,120
you can switch between your special characters this way so it's actually

164
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:52,800
really not that bad that's quite fast now uh typing kep accurate sensor is

165
00:11:51,079 --> 00:11:57,160
accurate in handy ah yes okay so when you're trying to highlight something

166
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:00,880
accurately uh it takes quite a while to pop up the cursor but the cursor is

167
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,800
quite accurate the one time I did have an issue with it was when I was trying

168
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:09,079
to get it over to the very far left although this can be an issue with sort of any phone sometimes getting uh

169
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:12,480
accurate sensitivity right near the edges of the screen so I had trouble

170
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,639
selecting the first letter when I was typing over at the very far left the

171
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:20,920
only thing I don't like about it is how long it takes to pop up so it just feels

172
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:26,079
whoops it just feels a little bit on the slower side and because it doesn't pop

173
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:31,680
itself right under your thumb so I I mean I like Android because with Android

174
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:35,240
if you're in acccurate enough C toucher then you just touch the spot and it

175
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,279
actually just goes there whereas iOS you have to hold it down and then it gives

176
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,839
you that little magnifying glass but at least it's still under your finger with

177
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:46,560
this one you go okay I want to put it here see how it's up there now no matter

178
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:51,160
what I'm going to have to move so if I was close enough in the first place with

179
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:57,320
iOS then I don't have to move once I see the popup this time I have to move no

180
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,639
matter what on Windows Phone 8 um I find

181
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:04,720
I'm less accurate on the keyboard I think part of that is just my small hands like I actually have significant

182
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:08,839
amount of trouble reaching the que and now I've gone and pressed the camera

183
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:12,480
button sorry about that um so I find I'm less accurate if I hold it two-handed or

184
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:17,480
if I hold it with one hand and type with the other hand I don't have uh I don't

185
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,880
have trouble with that uh music app okay

186
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,279
yep yep yep where okay yeah the other

187
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,320
thing about the music app is where's my now playing list exactly like I go to

188
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:31,720
music and it lets me sort of navigate album songs playlist I don't have have

189
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:37,600
playlists why would I need playlists um there's your history there's new stuff

190
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,959
there's apps there's music store the music store is cool when you have a

191
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:44,920
subscription because you can basically just go okay let's play this and it's

192
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:48,360
sort of all you can eat which for $100 a year actually really isn't that

193
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:51,880
unreasonable uh compared to actually paying for the songs individually I mean

194
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:56,240
that's 100 songs it's like Five albums it's really not that much uh there's no

195
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,480
battery life percentage on the top so I haven't found a way to turn that on yet

196
00:13:57,959 --> 00:14:03,600
I do like to know exactly how much battery life is left cuz I find those

197
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:09,680
can be sometimes not that accurate again I'm pressing play to pause or I can do

198
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,320
this or I can do that there we go um

199
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:15,759
very limited screen brightness settings I think I showed that contact scrolling

200
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:20,240
ah yeah same thing in contact so I'm not going to show you guys my contact list

201
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:24,320
in too much detail here but let me just go through here and sort of I'll show

202
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:30,800
you so it's the same thing where you actually can't uh you can't scroll by by

203
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:36,199
names like that they want you to search so if I were to search for hold on

204
00:14:33,959 --> 00:14:40,160
so there's you could can't use the search button here you want to use a

205
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,440
search button here I wish again that this was a search button the contextual

206
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:49,320
search button as opposed to um just a regular search button so I can't scroll

207
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:55,360
here but if I search for something like acute Tech mechanic so searching works

208
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:59,079
but it's just um it's it's frustrating it's not that

209
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:03,800
um yeah it's just it's not that intuitive uh dialing is dialing is good

210
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:10,079
though I really like the way the actual phone interface itself works so you know

211
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:16,279
8888888888 you call something gives you a bunch of cool options mute speaker put

212
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,240
your thing on there don't put your thing on there so all of that worked really

213
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:24,120
really well uh SMS app oh yeah the SMS app so

214
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:29,000
this is this is kind of neat hold on again I don't want to show sort of everyone in their dogs names but check

215
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:33,920
this out so you can actually use this right here to okay you have to okay if

216
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:40,120
you have someone entered as a contact in multiple ways so here I'll find uh slick

217
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,519
here um nope you I don't okay well whatever

218
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:51,800
I'll just have to describe it so if you have someone entered in multiple ways in

219
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:53,600
your um here we go so yeah that'll do so

220
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,920
this is cool within the SMS app you can use this little switch button right here

221
00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:01,800
to go oh I want to send an SMS this time oh I want to send send uh an MSN

222
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,519
Messenger message this time whatever it is you want to do the one thing is that

223
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:08,839
until you sort of wrap your mind around that you got to remember what kind of

224
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,880
message you're sending because I sent some messages to someone to their

225
00:16:11,079 --> 00:16:16,240
Facebook and then what I actually wanted to send was an SMS because they don't

226
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:18,800
even have Facebook on their phone and so it didn't get to them so you just have

227
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,759
to kind of get used to that but I thought that was really really cool um

228
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:27,160
we're getting pretty close to the end here pretty close to the end iMessage uh

229
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,519
I had a couple people call me out cuz I said I had to use my iPhone for or

230
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:36,839
something and going back to the small screen was really hard like this thing

231
00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:38,759
feels like a toy now compared to the 8X

232
00:16:36,839 --> 00:16:42,720
which as you guys can see with my iPhone size comparison is significantly bigger

233
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:47,600
both in terms of screen size and in terms of just overall size so this thing

234
00:16:44,839 --> 00:16:51,959
was like you know felt like felt like yeah felt like a child's play thing um

235
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:56,560
but I had to go back to it CU I had to turn off iMessage so if you just sort of

236
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,800
throw your iPhone away and sort of Chuck it and you leave iMessage on and it's

237
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,800
sort of sort of somewhere what will happen is some of your SMS messages will

238
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:08,079
automatically go to your iPhone using data instead of SMS so I had someone

239
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:12,120
sending me messages and they actually went to my iPhone not to the phone that

240
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:17,880
actually had my SIM card in it so that was sort of annoying oops my bad and you

241
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,079
know what I think that's pretty much it for now um overall snappiness is good I

242
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:28,120
like being able to you know pin things I've started creating some tiles I did

243
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:32,120
find a good substitute for air video so cloud media is actually working really

244
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,960
really well now that I've got all the ports set up right and all that good

245
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,880
stuff so you know there you go uh you can play back things pretty quickly in

246
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:48,720
much the same way that uh that air video works so auto rotate always works cuz

247
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:52,240
yeah you can't turn it off so that's just playing off of off of a server so

248
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:55,840
it's just an app you run on a server computer that uh that you know trans

249
00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:00,080
codes on the Fly and beams it to your phone just like Air Video on iOS um let

250
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:07,039
me just see if there's anything else that I'm forgetting right now this seems pretty detailed so far found a couple

251
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,960
games that I like already uh right so

252
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:12,520
all the games are instead of actually having dedicated tiles for each game you

253
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:16,919
just kind of go through here and you can pin things to the place where you like

254
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:20,760
them the most sort of within the games thing that actually works quite well for

255
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:24,039
me so this is rag doll run which I find pretty fun and I think that's what we're

256
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:31,720
going to close off with here so stay tuned for my next Windows

257
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:33,520
8 um Windows 8 phone I switched blog I'm

258
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:38,000
doing as you guys as I said last time I'm doing a 30-day trial where I'm going

259
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:41,559
to stay with Windows Phone 8 no matter what and then at the end I'm going to

260
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:47,039
decide if I'm going to go back to iOS or if I'm going to uh stick with Windows

261
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:51,520
Phone 8 and for those of you who are bound to ask I am not going to Android I

262
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:55,000
don't like Android please stop asking me if I'm going to Android because I'm not

263

I swear they ripped off the Mario sound effect for the
