nokia have been on a downward spiral for a while, and Microsoft taking it over ...
I can not see it getting any better, used to always look at nokia fones first, now they just get a casual look.
not overly impressed with win 8 so having it control a fone, nahh im good thanks.

Windows does have a good spell check though, so don't knock it till you've tried it on a phone.
