1. only official app from windowsphone.com can installed via SD card...

2. no jailbreak available. only official developer unlock (10 apps max per device, 5 device with one account...) $19/year cost developer unlock or free via student account but with student only 3 apps is allowed to load. WP SDK 8 must installed on computer to unlock phones and deploy apps

dont expect "android like" phone... this is Windows Phone and is build for security, speed and stability... not for pirate things...

if you want pay apps for free watch when pay apps get free in promotional periods with apps:

I only have a windows phone because it's issues to me for work..

Personally feel it sooooooooooooooooooooo lacking.

Apps, customization, tweaking and well just general usage is pants when compared to Android!!!!

on the plus side I have never had a lock up or it lagging after a few days....

so like dxdy said "dont expect "android like" phone"

I wouldn't buy wmp8 phone(mines dev unlocked too) or accept one as part of a contract!!!!!
