    Slow to start or resume. Features available elsewhere(platform) are missing. Can't see if there's any integration to the phone/OS. Microsoft have so much chance to make Skype a great APP and compete with other IM APPs out there, but it is no where near to where it should be. Considered this is on WP8 means the issues should have solved by yesterday.Microsoft have lots of catch-up to do. Review by: idotcucu on HTC 8S
