hmm...im not a Symbian user before so I don't know.
if I compare to android, which 3rd party apps can monitor battery and data, it's a nightmare
those apps offers a lot of in depth information but also drain so much battery.
I think the data sense and battery saver now is enough for average user
lets hope Microsoft will update those apps for better user experience. Microsoft did update battery saver before through the store, it shows that battery saver can be update as standalone app

Yeah, I have seem Android's and IOS, Symbian and WP is better.

Here is a sample picture that SYmbian DataMonitor; it gives braksdown for each data connections and each application thats using the data with its upload/download amount

And here is Battery monitor. It shows which apps is using the highest battery

anyone know of any good player that can play flac / WAV?

tried one muzik player, which is able to play WAV but unfortunately not flac...
another one is moliplayer pro, but that player seems lacking features like creating playlist...

too bad flac is not natively supported...

VLC?

No wonder, I just downloaded and tested, but the "living" thingy never appear...sigh.

Personally I feel its cool feature, but not a "must have", its just me.

You can change your region setting try downloading, if you like.

Set your region to Untied States, Keyboard language to English (US), and restart your phone. Your Cortana will appear on your apps list ©Cortana.

Is there any downside in keeping the region setting as US? Just wondering...
