I would just like to add for those who say "so what" we have IOS and android. Well having a third option is good for compitition we as consumers benifit from it. I miss having MS. office on my phone with spell check, the dead windows6.0 phones had just this MS. office.

That's good to hear. I don't have any plans on buying a Windows phone, but the more options we have, the better.

I agree. I tried the MS Offiice App on my iPhone recently, and I can't get it to go.
I was hopeful.
I'm waiting until they load Jaws on the Windows phones. The latest version will be really something I learned from watching Microsoft's release show, but they never talked about accessibility.
Maybe a third party, like Code Factory, will get in the mix.

This is actually a really big deal. If it runs on the $125 unlocked no contract Nokia Lumia 521 this could provide a decent low cost alternative.
