Compared to the Blackberry you'll love it.

I'm surprised your work is giving you a Windows Phone, as to me they tend to be more on the social side than the utility side, in that it integrates Hotmail/Live, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook into the phone's core services, rather than as separate apps.

I have a 720 and love it.

All of the above are used by the company... Anything must be an improvement on a blackberry curve

If I'd seen this earlier I would have told you that, if it was anything like my 610 then it would be ****.

Sorry.

Meant to quote you above.

I've been asking myself that for the past year.

I sent my 520 back to Orange within a couple of days. Plasticky, too big, wouldn't accept my e-mail account and the actual telephone part was dull and crackly. Apart from that, I quite liked the windows interface! Much smoother to use than my HTC.
