Windows Phones Marketplace Surpasses 50,000 Apps
According to a recent report released by All About Windows Phone, Windows’ match for the Apple App Store and the Android Market, the Windows Phones Marketplace, has passed the 50,000 mark and now offers over half a million downloadable applications. This is nothing compared to the totals of its major competitors; the App Store has reached over 500,000, whilst the Android Market boasts more than 400,000. Yet considering that Microsoft’s store is the youngest of the three, achieving this number is a significant milestone, especially because of the amount of time it took to get there. Whilst Apple took 12 months to bring their total up to 50,000, and Android 19, Windows Phone has done it in a solid 14.

HTC HD7 Extended Battery Review
While the HTC HD7s and HD7 have been overshadowed by sheer power of HTC Titan, it is still one of the best windows phones out there. Being an HD7 user myself, the only thing that I do not like about it is its battery life. Blame HTC for equipping it with 1230mAh battery, which is just not enough to power its huge 4.3 inch display and myriad of connectivity radios like 3G, Wi-Fi, Edge and so on. The only solution left to me was getting myself an extended battery.

Nokia Lumia 800 is now available at the Vodafone UK and many reviewers have already got hold of the unit.

In other words, they are saying that its camera did not live up to their expectations.

Some of these issues include cold colour temperature, slow auto-focus and compression issues.
