This means most tricks you use on your Lumia 920 will also work on Windows Phone mobiles, such as the HTC 8X, the Lumia 820 and the Samsung Ativ S. Here’s our roundup of the top 25 tips and tricks that will benefit you no matter which second-generation Microsoft blower you own. ... <Snip Rest ... see article at link> ###

Ewan Spence of All About Windows Phone (AAWP) had this to say about the article ...

"CNet's Ben Griffin sits down with Windows Phone 8 to bring 25 tips about Microsoft's mobile OS. While some of them are more 'here's a great application' rather than something tucked away in a settings box you might miss, it's a good collection for those new to the Windows Phone platform. ... ... The other bonus to articles like this is that it shows the growth of Windows Phone in the minds of writers and publishers. If there's an appetite for these articles, it's because people are looking for this information... because they're buying Windows Phone devices. Which is good for all of us."
