hmm the speaker is loud on my arrive. I suppose u can work around that by hooking up some speakers to it if ur just in an office.
Other minor things I've found after using for a while that I dislike
-can't add ring tones(I had a few custom ones for my wife and friends)
fixed in mango
-Can't take a doument (word, excel, powerpoint, etc) and put it on my phone from the desktop, I need to put it in the "cloud" to put it on there. This is major.
I really don't get what some peoples beef with the cloud is. it will all become more clear once windows 8 and the new Xbox 360 dashboard are released. same experience no matter what device ur on and I like that
- the home screen, really ? Just 6-8 colors for the tiles ? No backgrounds, no custom looking tiles, nothing ? This is something I miss from my TP2 also. My phone looks like everyone elses and I don't like that.
mango will add more colors and I saw an app that allows u to change the look of the tiles a bit in the marketplace
-Marketplace downloads, Some downloads require Wi-FI or computer connection, WTF ? So I am on the road, I have 5 bar 3G connection, I can't download a game to try or buy ? WTF ?
I can understand this, some carriers have a data cap and when one downloads a large file such as a game it can be very easy to exceed the data cap and receive overage charges. plus some networks aren't currently fast enough to even handle the download of such file (eg. sprint)
-and of course, Wi-Fi tethering more of a carrier limitation rather than OS limitation. if MS included it carriers would complain about it
But, these are more of the limits of Windows Phone 7 and Not the Trophy.
Besides the Speaker phone (wish I could get the volume 10-20% louder) and the lack of a QWERTY keyboard (sorry guys) it's a great little phone.
