40+ Drawbacks or Limitations of windows phone

( off course there is one, yxplayer (Rs235), but Its NOT A STANDALONE APPLICATION... You Need buy another SDCard viewer application (Rs 110) for working with this player. total cost Rs 345... But still it can't give a satisfactory performance coz it can't play files from video hub and take minutes to open a video file, poor quality playback and many features are not present)

I'll add my thoughts as well:
- You can't search contacts using numeric keypad . You can but with external dialer, which does not have access to missed calls. So You end up having two dialers on the screen which is just stupid. Why having two things for same functions if You could use one?
- Editing text is a pain when You need to delete a letter in the middle of a word. To put the cursor after a letter You need to hold down a finger so you cover almost the whole word. Actually You don't know where You put it and again, You need to do it twice or three times before You succeed. Why doing sthg twice if You could briefly tap once?
- You can't answer the phone with one slide. You just slide and then You need to hit 'pick up'. Why doing sthg twice if You can do it with one slide?
- In my phone (lumia 625) I'm forced to use full resolution and can't lower it.
Photos that phones are made for, don't need to be 5 or 10megapixels big. They can, but actually what for? Why MUST I use twice as much space then ?
- Tiles update every 30min which means that every battery meter on the screen is useless.
You can't play with Your phone intesively for half an hour seeing there is 30% and suddenly You realize it's not 30% but 5% or almost dead.
-You're forced to use Bing under the right button, so You end up having another browser on the screen, at least most people do so. Why having two browsers if You could use one?
- You can't turn the media volume separately. If You turn down volume, You turn down the ringtone as well. Why turning down two things if I want only one?
