Curved screen left me thinking its easy to scratch and fitting a protector may prove tricky
Windows Phone doesn't have the app support of iOS or Android (try before you buy)
Charging bay flap is going to break
No Internet Sharing
Fiddly volume rocker and lock key
No frontfacing camera
A bit on the heavy side
No LTE support
No MicroSD slot for additional storage
No Internet Sharing feature – not yet anyway
Battery is not removable

Poor camera
No removable memory
No Flash or Silverlight
And the 8 MP rearfacing camera is subpar compared to peers like the Samsung Galaxy S II and iPhone 4S. Not actually available in the U.S. yet

No micro-SD card slot
Disappointing camera
