In terms of speed it hasnt really changed that much. Atleast the jumpy scrolling is fixed.
As said my most favorite and most disliked feature is the banner. Was good to see some old pics i wouldnt bother looking at most of the time but it takes up too much space

No you're not.
The new interface is an example of how not to do a text heavy UI.
They went all out on the Panorama concept of WP7, and tried to cram everything into a single pan. A lot of things should have been dropped into a deeper option.
Well i went at it again a couple of times and got used to it Quite like it now. Even though i still think screen realestate could have been better made.
At least its really good for people with big fingers

Well its probably the new thing for me. Facebook app is always pined to start for me cause when i got to work i always check in with my colleagues Can only check in myself though with integrated function. Also if i need to write something on my College Class Page as well need to go through groups.So facebook is always pinned somewhere down the bottom
Built integrated Facebook is still much faster and easier to use.0 -

I rarely use any of the features that aren't already in the People Hub. So I'm going to stick with it for the time being.
Also, does anyone else find the Live Tiles really messed up?
Sometimes the Facebook tile updates very quickly, other times its inactive for hours on end.
And its not just Facebook. Live tiles are janky as hell on a lot of my favorite apps. The only one that never seems to mess up is the Me tile, and I'm assuming thats because its a native app.
I'm really disappointed with Live Tiles. When WP7 launched, we saw pictures of Twitter/Facebook tiles that showed actual data. Over a year later, and Facebook offers a little number in the corner, Twitter offers nothing.
MS went with the Ambient Data concept, and it really is a great one, but it feels like they gave up on it pretty quickly.0 -

Streaming audio problem on O2 - 8tracks.com
basically I can't get any 8tracks apps to work off the O2 network on my HD7, even if I tether to my laptop and try 8tracks.com in the browser. Works fine on Wifi, but not on O2 network. Other streaming sites work fine too, just not 8tracks - it's driving me mad as it's my favourite streaming site! If you've any ideas, please comment!
Just check your settings for Mixtapes and make sure wifi only isn't switched on? It's working fine on the 3 network. 0 -

I wish it was that simple, but it's already switched off. Same problem with the other 2 8tracks apps. Since it also happens on my laptop when it's tethered, I'm lead to believe its my O2 connection, or at least how it connects via my HD7, that is the problem...0 -

Can you check it on a friends phone using the same sim card?
Then you would definetly know weather its O2 or the phone.0
