121 reasons not to buy a windows phone 7.5

Limitations in WP I found irritating

* No USSD code supports.
* No Draft option for SMS
* Numbers not recognized from SMS.
* Unable to transfer pdfs via Zune. I have upload to skydrive - which is again irritating to download using the Skydrive app - which uses IE to download.
* back -back -back -.......... exit

I am fan of Symbian and still using one.
But I am not gonna recommend WP to anyone. I am disappointed.

USSD codes are working fine after the updates..

USSD codes working for me. But then, the buggers need to do something asap about the other issue else I am dumping the phone.

"PhotoSafe" is one of thousands of great apps for Windows Phone. See more at WindowsPhone.com!

Thanks a lot for the links. I bought this app and for now i'm relieved that it can atleast hide the pictures. However, still no app to hide videos you already have on your phone. With photosafe, you can only hide those videos which you record from inside the app. I also found another app called Data locker, but again, no support for hiding videos. I hope some WP7 developer comes up with an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro&hl=en

I've decided not to dump the Lumia and wait till 7.8 is launched. Hopefully there will be more apps around by that time.

I wish there were a method to do this without needing to resort to rooting+custom ROM.
