Dropped by our local Microsoft store located at WEM on Monday and since my toddler was with me, only had time to try the Ringmark mobile browser features test on the latest Windows Phone 8 phones. Both the HTC and Nokia were unable to make it past Ring 0. My WP7.5 phone also can't pass Ring 0 and although there was improvement in the results with Windows Phone 8, they remain dreadful. By contrast, the new Blackberry Z10 nearly passes Ring 1.
If a platform is lacking in apps (relatively), it must have a web browser that is leading the pack and able to use web apps as they are currently deployed and implemented. Very disappointed with Windows Phone and this is another step away from the platform for me.
