"Do you like the messaging capabilities on Windows Phone 8?"

Chad Forthman Aaron Baker try Instance, it's a full feature Instagram client.

Glenn Rubio Urrea I have had a few windows phones and I can honestly say messaging is one thing they got right. A wonderful idea that WebOS had down to perfection. Windows Phone just needs to add more account compatibility. Instead of just SMS and Facebook it should also allow for 3rd party messengers like Hangouts or Whatsapp. More choices.

Seth Brenneman Getting the Nokia lumia 920 today and can't wait !!! :)

James Matthews Yes

Ryan John Rees-Williams Being the mobile phone built with typing and social in mind, yes, I'd say that it's typing and texting capabilities are much, much more than adequate, sublime even. Also again with the app count attack, does it really matter that much? You would never be able to install any where near the number of apps available at one time even on a 64Gb phone and the quality of a good portion of the apps is top notch, it all comes down to personal preference of whether you like the 'modern UI' or not
