I think you still have time till february for Gmail. For youtube don't even use that one. Here is the app you need. Windows 8 users recommended to me and I LOVE it. It is the BEST youtube app ever

This app has a 5 star rating. The number 1 app in the Windows Store. I used it for a few days. It will make your youtube experience beyond anything you have used before.

Dont worry about android and iOS users. Once you get your phone and you start to customizing your home screen with your preferred background tile colors, your live tiles with weather, news, sports, facebook, pictures, games and all other apps and you have it set it up just the way the you want it, I guarantee you, you go back and look at the android and iOS home screen layout, you will realize how boring they are.

Looks amazing and has great reviews! I can't wait to get to Verizon this morning.

When I get back on the forum, I may have questions! You have been an amazing help.

Hmmmm...Blue or Black?

Don't get black haha! That's part of the appeal is that the phone is an eye catcher...I have blue and I have everyone asking about my phone.

I loved the blue but I have seen too many phones that have discolor issues. Smiley Sad

The guy at verizon showed me his and it was black on edges and had marks from case. It's all good. I will dress her up with pretty cases! Smiley Happy

Here is the case I got. Its nice and doesn't add bulk at really. Maybe not the best for drops but will protect against scratches and small dings.

Had one die in 15 days (see "Wont Power On")

- but I love it!!

Controls my Xbox!!

Really prefer the active Live Tiles / desktop, over androids

Hotmail, work/domain emails - No problems

OneNote / Skydrive - no issues

never really liked word games - but now I cant stop playing "Wordament" !

Clear voice calls..etc

Skype free video to Android test phones works great so far!

-wish I could Power Off when Charging (kinda go "off the grid" and charge my battery.. LOL)

-maybe a little update on the way contacts are handled and filtered

-would like to be able to customize/group the applications menu to my liking
