    I really like it, it is the single best looking phone IMO, and Nokia's built in offline satnav is very good and the screen is gorgeous to look at.
  • Good choice. It's a very well made phone.
  • I'm going to get it when my contract runs out in January :)
  • I am lucky enough to be married to someone who works for Nokia and have had a good play :)

    tis beautiful and i want one, a great choice.

  • Hi, seen one of these last weekend in the flesh and was very impressed with it, have been deliberating over a new phone and narrowed it down to a Lumia or the iPhone. Having played with the Nokia it has made my mind up and prefer it to the iPhone. The build quality feels great and I thought it was a really slick phone to use. Hope this helps

    It is better not to be a guinea pig with new models. Let them sort out the initial issues first and buy after 6 months.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    I played with the Lumia 800 in Carphone Warehouse the other day. Lovely looking phone, great screen with bright bold colours, and it's lightweight too. And even the Windows Phone OS is pretty cool too. The only worry at the moment is the lack of apps for Windows Phone, but that will grow as time goes on. As movilogo says, i'm sure there will be updates that will sort out any undiscovered bugs.

    That depends if you consider 35,000 apps as a 'lack of apps' :D

    And it's the fastest growing app marketplace out there, IIRC.
