I write about Nokia most days, and pre-ordered a 800 earlier today from Phones4U but cancelled straight away as at the moment Orange are giving away a Xbox360s with every pre-order.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Pretty sexy compared to anything I have used before. Mango is good on any device, but this one shows it off really well. And it's built like any other Nokia device, well.

Word on the street is that the Lumia 800 has terrible battery life. Barely lasting a day - that's without any apps running and making a few calls,texts etc.

A software update is on the way.

Reviews seem to agree that the phone is great.

I can agree with this. Once charged, it says it will last around 27 hours, and it last just a day, but when i used the device for listening to music for around 2 hours, then a video for 30 minutes, it died after around 14 hours.

Well Charge, as the early adopter on the Fourm, we shall wait for your review.  :nerd:

I'm up for a change from Blackberry and this has taken my fancy.

Keep us posted.

If you haven't played with WP7 before, it's a lovely change from iOS, Blackberry, etc. It's Mango, and if you don't follow WP7 much it's got over 500 new features from the original phones that came out last year, and a huge amount of big fixes. They are already sorting out updates for the battery and the camera, both which need it to be honest. Other than that, having a built-in satnav (that's also getting an update, off-line navigation!) and tonnes of apps available it's awesome.

Ill keep you posted on updates to the device and how much it changes.

Should've pre-ordered, you would've got a free xbox 360 slim from Orange.
