Don't change your e-mail to Outlook.com if you're a Windows Phone user

That honestly just seems foolish on Microsoft's part. Microsoft has several email clients and one of their goals should be that they play nicely with the their devices. I get why it does it but that shouldn't be a case in a perfect world. But we all know we don't live in a prlerfect world.

You have to hard-reset your phone if you change your e-mail???? One more reason in the long list not to move to WP.

Looks amazing?

MetroUI looks like a tile floor... literally... I could take a tablet with the MetroUI and the only difference I could tell is the outer casing for the tablet, and the BLUE tile color...

MetroUI MIGHT be nice for Phone/Tablet/Touchscreen devices, however, for a desktop and now web interface... its UGLY AS SIN

I was a Windows Mobile user since 2003 (OS, not year), and I decided to go to Android instead of Windows Phone 7 because I thought the UI was ugly, its also why I am going to stick with Windows 7 on my PC, I LOVE alot of the changes and updates for Windows 8, but if I cannot disable MetroUI, there is ZERO love from me in the purchase arena.

I had an existing hotmail account and I tried out outlook.com, but you don't have to transfer your account to try it as far as I know. I just went to outlook.com and signed in using my hotmail address. Haven't noticed any adverse effects on my Windows Phone yet. And yeah, I did consider the consequences of transferring my hotmail account to an outlook.com account, which is why I didn't look for that option.

Upgrading to outlook doesn't change your email address. I upgraded three and all three remained hotmail.com

I have not had any issues with my Focus. Everything seems to still be there. I just simply upgraded to the outlook.com and kept everything the same. It imported the hotmail into a folder option so know I have a clean inbox. Xbox, Marketplace, email still seems to work. I have yet to check Zune, that will be my next thing.

I just checked my Zune account and the reason I did not loose anything or had any transition issues is because I was using my gmail email as my main account for everything. Good luck everyone! Seems kind of silly if you ask me.
