I dont want android because I just feel like you are asking for trouble. Any phone that needs antivirus is a no in my book
I have had BB and dont want to go back... so that leaves Win8
sooo.. opinions?
Thanks!

To say that Android is the only mobile OS that is susceptible to malicious activities is naive at best, and FUD at worst.I dont want android because I just feel like you are asking for trouble.

And now for 8.1, MS is bringing out the WinRT based app framework - the same one as Metro on big Windows. But there is a catch - the APIs we've been using on 7.X and 8.0 are incompatible with the Windows 8 APIs. So if you were thinking to easily port your Windows 8.0 app to Windows Phone 8.0 - you just can't.

Yes you can. Simply tap on the "# recipients" at the top and it will show the entire list.

I must be missing something. The only time I see "# Recipients" is when the group message was sent from me. When someone else sends out a group text, it comes through as just another message in the conversation thread, and I have no way of knowing that it was sent to anyone else. I did a test from my work phone (which doesn't have an existing conversation thread), and that also gave no indication that the message was a group text. I'm using WP8.0 by the way, not 8.1
