        W/o VPN this is of no use. not for business users. If I need to access my office files and intranet portals while on the go, do i need to use a separate phone (idiotic!!!!). Please dont suggest tethering with my notebook as it kills the purpose of mobility.

        Also if the feature is included would that also be available as a patch for existing WP8 users or will it be for users who bought the hardware after the upgrade ?

        I would only purchase it if the functionality is added.

        P.S.- bought a NL720 for my wife a month back to test the waters but now am wary of buying a WP8 phone for myself because of the limitations in business use.

        I love WP! I'm using it since day one! But my patience is almost over! I need VPN! Without it, I'm forced to change the os and my phone unfortunatly

        Please don't add VPN support. Sniffing public hotspots is sooo much fun!

        I thought this was coming GDR2 but I just heard it wasn't now, WE NEED THIS. I can tell you this for sure, the next phone I get will support VPN.

        DirectAccess is too narrowly focused, but VPN is a real need. I'm a Microsoft Partner and Vendor, and I'm still on an iPhone5 due to the lack of this basic functionality.

        I agree VPN is a requirement of a business smart phone. I need to able to access my files when I am out and about. Thether to Laptop to the Nokia 920 all OK. How ridiculous.

        No VPN? I purchased Lumia 920 for my company, but we found there's NO VPN ability..... it's the very basic feature! shame on Windows Mobile!

      • RajanRajan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Please do.. Its such a basic necessity that you seem to have ignored completely.

        Every smart phone with respect for itself has VPN option. Trying the lumia 820 before purchase was like to see all the features I needed from iPhone 4S. But what i did not expect to loose at least was that I now can no longer use my VPN. I use VPN to get the tunnel and admission to my files from China, further it also keeps me in touch with friends on social network sites. With all the stuff about logging in to your microsoft account and do everything from one place does not help people like me who is working in China. I believe your market is not targeting China..........
        There is always some rumors about that it will happen soon with apollo plus........I dont believe this......how difficult can it be, if MS really wants to add VPN they would have been able to do that for long time ago........though I love my Lenovo with windows 8 platform i have to switch back to iPhone.
