This WP8Central thread shows many of the issues. Affected devices include Lumia 920 and HTC 8X." Every phone and every OS has its problems, and happy users probably aren't as vocal; it would be good to know how Windows Phone users who are also iOS and Android users compare them for reliability.

I have not faced a single, tiny issue with Windows Phone 8. I have not used it for the past 1 month. Actually I have not used it for the past 1 year or even more.

...on Windows. Isn't that normal?

Why are people complaining?
They told them they where going to give them windows on a phone. They bought windows on a phone. Random reboots, completely unstable, uses up all resources including battery, the only solution is to wipe it out and start over, and even then you end up with a broken device. Sounds like they managed to port the whole windows experience, I don't get the complains. Maybe it's the lack of a blue screen of dead that's bothering them?

They're getting all the Microsoft shills to post in defense of this knowing they're the only ones that would claim to own a Windows 8 phone.

The difference is that it is believable that there are Apple and Google fans/users on Slashdot. The idea that there are Microsoft fans or users on Slashdot is just tough to accept, like if you told us a unicorn was posting to Slashdot.

Calm down, Ballmer. You're getting worked up for no good reason. You know what the doctors said. Any more excitement and you can't throw chairs anymore. You don't want that, now do you?

..and it lasts longer on a charge than my Galaxy Nexus ever did.
I've had one reboot. I used to get freezes and reboots on occasion with the Gnex too.
Overall it's been fine. More responsive and reliable than the last 2 Androids I've had.
Quick, mod parent down! The poster is reporting on direct experience. Let's not allow this to clutter up our thread of digs and pokes at Microsoft! Because those never, ever get old!

To be fair, not many use it on the desktop.

it is hard to understand why after all the years of abuse from the Linux/Apple crowd the Microsoft fans would continue to come in and spend most of their time defending their fanboyness to people who wouldn't use windows if it came with a blowjob from Selma Hayek.
Tempting.

As if your bias wasn't already apparent now your admitting to being a Microsoft shill. God you shills are stupid.

Windows has detected an incoming call and must restart for the changes to take effect. Windows will restart in 1 minute.

1998 called, they want their Windows complaints back, oddly enough when that stuff was true of Windows OSX still had the problem of apps locking up the whole system, damn that beachball!
Hey, OS X has improved tremendously of late. Now it doesn't need apps to lock the system up - the OS can do it all by itself.

Try rebooting to see if you get your keyboard back. Then tell us which smartphone you're using.
