Some of my gripes that were fixed on my Lumia 521

IE - Predictive website guesser thingie, oh my god faster
IE - Loading (render) websites generally faster (on par with my Apple IPod Touch 1.0)
IE - HTML5 Video, Wow, they finally moved to where Haiku-OS is.
IE - funky scroll crash problem on certain websites ( fixed

I'll note it's painfully slower at first, but after you've used it for a day it's only a small amount slower than lumia black, but IE is noticeably faster

Gripes still on the table:
Calendar - Still won't show multiple calendars in Google (the reason why I'm still switching)
performance - when WebOS seems lightning fast on my touchpad from 4 years ago, there's a problem.

Bravo M$ for making a product better... should've done this 18 months ago.
