I rather doubt that WP8 will even support this level of card swapping potential. To 'fix' this 'issue' from Microsoft's perspective, it seems they'd have to lock down any possibility of user...

Would this be so simple as just buying a high quality card? For instance, buying one of Lexar's or Sandisk's top of the line models with Class 6 speed rating? Or is there more to it, like not just...

Fine. I'll get to work on the tin foil hat.

But seriously, a lot of the albums in my collection don't have online data. I don't usually buy from major labels, in fact it's been quite a few years....

I once met a fellow who actually wore one. Part of my growing up was in Kelowna, BC, and we had our share of crazies. This guy mumbled a lot about secret government agencies and lasers. Was...

So the top ten 'apps' include 3 ways to access movie information, an Internet radio player, 3 games, and 3 social networking tools. Nothing for getting work done? I guess this could be because the...

No, not using the online db lookup. Unchecked that long ago. I prefer not to involve local operations such as CD ripping/MP3 encoding in online database sources, having seen some odd results from...

That is a really good point, the secure data comment. With any newer WM device, it's possible to go into Settings > System > Encryption and check the box which encrypts any and all data written to...

I wasn't suggesting it's necessarily that much harder... rather that the retroactive effort, to add metadata to hundreds of albums already ripped without it, is not worth the effort (duplication of...

Just dug out my old Toshiba e830, which runs WM2003SE, plugged it in for the first time in months, and set a test appointment. (Wow, the default OS date is July 1, 2004 - this thing is really OLD!)...

I don't remember WM6.5 reminders clearly as it's been a year or so since I started using WM6.5.3 on an Elfin, then on a Kaiser. But with WM6.5.3 (of which I know you do not approve, owing to its...

Ditto for me. I've not kept anything important besides PIM databases (no real choice there) in main memory of my phones/PDAs for many years. And thanks to PIMBackup and routine backups to the card,...

You'd 'kill' but you wouldn't install a custom-cooked ROM which eliminates the annoying, system-hogging elements of TouchFlo? I've used HTC's TouchFlo 3D for about an hour, once. Then I found a...
