15 reasons why Windows Phone 8 sucks for me ( as consumer )

1. Facebook app really fucking sucks!  Notification messages doesn’t work!
2. Integrated Facebook chat is the same...
3. Twitter, is the same… nicer than Facebook but  same notifications problem.
4. No dropbox app (but Skydrive is awesome!)
5. No Instagram app, is there any free alternative?
6. Native Youtube is missing ☹ 
7. There’s no alternative browser or search engine to bing
8. Whatsapp app is maybe the nicest app I downloaded
9. Sometimes network  goes offline and there’s no way to get it back
10. Saving photos directly to SD card is very slow, it may takes about 10 seconds per photo
11. Saving a recorded video to SD card is completely buggy with video lags  and audio strutterings. 
12. There’s a folder called “Others” that is always full of something that fill internal memory. I can’t delete its content and I must delete some applications because memory is full and phone doesn’t work properly.
13. Bluetooth doesn’t match with my BT-Voice speaker.
14. No notification center
15. Only four vibrations while ringing!

Am I too critic?

Don't you agree with me?

Damn the day I sold my Android :(

A month view calendar for WP7

We know that wp7 is a bit young but it has a good potential.
We also know that its youth means, for developers, poor os-controls, poor API etc...

Last week I had to demonstrate that WP7 is comparable to iOS and Android. 

I had to realize a sort of "accounting app" already done in iOS and Android.

I had no significant problems while working except for some limits of SDK.

SDK doesn't provide a datetime picker, a combo box or list picker not even a calendar.

I found on the web a Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit that brings some controls I've just mentioned.

No track of a calendar :(

I found only 1 calendar for wp7 on web but it didn't like me.... So..
I decided to make my own :)

Fixed layout for PhoneApplicationPage

As a beginner in WP7 I found some issues for my first applications.
One of those problems I had was the hated "fixed layout" of a page.

It's a topic already discussed (view the post for Android) but in this case, it's a bit different.

Suppose we want a "fixed header and footer" for every page, how do you do it?
