Nokia's new stuff

[russell]

If you've got a big screen on a phone, there's less need to have a tablet as reading books, watching videos, remoting into servers etc is a lot less fiddly

WHS,

And also surfing the web, ever tried to surf CUK on an iPhone while you are sitting in the mall and your wife is spending your cash in the clothes shops? Result is PAIN!

The advantage about a Windows phone is that it more of a business phone and comes with “Office” . I find it very handy for writing ad-hoc documents and then synchronising them with the laptop. The problem with most phone they are built for entertainment.

The main problem is that they're still having their Skoda moment

There's nothing wrong with them, but the perception is that nobody has one

I use the 520 and the 820. Actually the 520 is an amazing phone for the money. There

520 is one I'm considering, since it's basically the 'new 610'... there is a 620 but the 520 has had some great reviews.

I'm still a stickler for paperback when it comes to reading books. Regarding the other uses that's where a tablet is more useful. Trying to merge a variety of requirements into a single form factor is not progress imo.

give it a few years and most businesses will be using MS powered mobile devices

we currently use apple (for phones and pads) but as soon as there are some decent MS devices we will move to them.

I've just gone from an 800 to a 625. I think they are great, 625 will take a memory card, you get all the free Nokia software, I needed a bigger screen as my eyesight is getting worse. The 625 doesn't have HD but that's irrelevant as my eyes aren't up to it anyway. £170 for a phone then a monthly sim only contract is great.

There's an APP for that.

[woohoo]

I have the 920 and it's an excellent phone if a little big. Recently there has been an update for the phone which has improved the camera no end. Well at least it seems that way to me.

I recommended the 920 to a client, he doesn't like it. The battery life in his old iPhone was much better and more apps.
