The biggest impediment to this phone is the lock-in to AT&T. Customer service is so poor, I wouldn't think about getting one until someone (Verizon?!) else gets it.

There has never been support for expandable memory. Samsung got around this by making users completely reset the phone when they wanted to add or remove the memory card. This tricks the phone into thinking that the added memory is built into the phone. It would be nice to have this feature, but when used to its full potential, the 25GB of free Skydrive storage is very useful.

"Best Windows Phone So Far"? That's like bragging the least painful colonoscopy.

I don't understand PCW's standard practice of publishing phone reviews without battery testing. This isn't 2005 where your Razr could be expected to last several days without a charge. 4G radios, wifi, streaming apps, GPS, all of these things suck power like mad and it is well documented that battery life and satisfaction with your phone are very closely related. My 18 month old HTC EVO 4G can easily burn through 50% of its extended capacity battery after a couple hours of GPS montitored cycling + Pandora streaming. You do your readers a huge disfavor by waiting until later to update the review with battery test results.

The expandable memory made the phone unstable since Microsoft didn't support it. The only memory card you could use had to be certified for Windows Phone, and it was only 8gb. Rumored specs show they should be bringing back expandable memory properly with Windows Phone 8.

The phone quality is really good. The OS navigation, voice and maps all excellent. It is crap integrating to an exchange server when you don't buy a public SSL certificate. It takes awhile with no instructions to download the certs manually. Meanwhile on Android and Apple this takes a few seconds. There's more, but to sum it up you have an 80% excellent phone with about 20% pure, unadulterated crap tossed in. That's enough for me to go right back to Android.

A great feature for the hearing impaird who wear hearing aids is the optional "telecoil" or "T" coil feature. This converts sound into magnetic waves allowing the phone to be held close to the hearing aids (avoids feedback), and amplifies the conversation.
