I've been testing both the built-in Here Drive+ and CoPilot navigation on "Lummy". Both seem usable, but not quite perfect. Here Drive+ seems easier to use, but Copilot offers more customization. Here has more up to date maps, I've found 2 mistakes on local streets in Copilot already. I might buy the Premium Copilot anyway, just because it's a cool app. I think it's awesome that the phone GPS turns on and off by itself as needed by the apps, instead of staying on all the time draining the battery as it does in Android.

I was able to easily move books and music to the SD card via USB.

I have 3 readers loaded at the moment, ePub Reader, Book Visor and Freda, I don't expect to use Lummy for reading very much, so far it seems I could live with any of the three.

IE seems too eager to highlight when I only want to swipe, so I'm trying Surfy and UC Browser. UC seems more suited to the small screen. Again, I don't expect to be doing extensive web surfing on the phone, so far UC seems easier to use.

One Note and One Drive may prove very useful, since they are available on Android too, I can keep a to-do list synced up on all the various devices I use.

I'm really looking forward to playing with the camera, just because of the cool camera apps available.
