Question Anybody got a windows phone

girlfriend just renewed contract with tmobile and 710 nokia

its an easy interface compared with my andriod and i can even access my bank share dealing

But , it says no to bluetoothing with ,anything,else as far as i can see

has a microsim so impossible to swap for a normal one

no storage card - you have a ton of software to load before communing with a computer

and not a chance of doing anything with a tv



How the hell do share share videos

Iv actually just bought a half decent camera with a video possibliites , but wouldnt really want to carry it everywhere

But really how do you share a video with windows phones - it gives you one possibilty, of uploading to your email ,but then the file is too large

I'm just setting up 19 Nokia Lumia 800's . . . great fun

You just use Zune to transfter music, photos and video to/from your PC.

Some useful stuff being posted today against this deal

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/noki...ed-150-1138598

Try to ignore the trolling.

I read in one of the posts that it doesn't need much memory because it comes with 25gb microsoft live cloud storage.

I'd like to say no, but actually I love it

Been using mine for a few weeks and I even prefer it to my iPhone 4 now

We're using them for business and there are a few things I'd change, but nothing really major.

Works beautifully and smoothly, fast, reliable & plenty of nicely integrated apps. Bluetooth has worked perfectly with every vehicles hands-free kit. Outlook with it's proper Exchange integration is superb - being able to browse the global address list is nice. Working on getting CRM and Sharepoint working next.

It looks stunning and it buttery smooth to operate. I'd have one as a personal phone any day

I've been messing with a Nokia Lumia and like it, only think that bugs me a little is over use of text, hard to explain but things like Twitter I prefer to be visual where MS want their operating system to use text heavily. In most instances the text thing makes things clear and that can only be a good thing I suppose.

Hopefully my N8 gets replaced by one of these as that thing is a bag of cack.

Borrowed an old O2 XDA Guide off a mate last year as my own phone was playing up. Seemed to work well enough IMO. Good as a phone and better for the hotel's free wifi service, so no European data charges to pay..

Have a client that has about 30 of the Nokia Lumia 800. Fab looking, great to handle and the OS is really good for their first(ish) offering. They have no issues with bluetooth, exchange interaction ( it helps we just updated their Exchange to 2010) and tbh not bad phones at all. I think the 900 are a bit big when they get launched

I have a HTC HD7 and regret it ever since the first day !!!!!

I had an Iphone 3 but didn't want to pay stupid amounts for the 4 or pay £40 a month for it.

I thought the windows phone would be great as I could get achievement points for the xbox... Great... Well I now pay £32.00 a month for a fookin head ache!

when listening to music while running the volume turns itself down - even if its locked
The flash light app can't lock on - So if trying to lay under a car and use it and you accidently touch anything with yur palm it turns off.

The volume is crap - ringing & speakers

The battery OMG I won't go there.

It's slow surfing the net.

On the plus size, with the large screen I don't need to squint as much watching ****.

I will never get one again !
