===Back in the Stone Age... === For years and years I was quite content with a little brick of a phone that could text and make calls. The internet was something I wasn't going to be interested in via a phone until it was giving useable results instead of poorly thrown together mobile sites that were impossible to navigate on a tiny screen. In the last few years, however, I was dragged, kicking, screaming and downing a few strong margaritas into the Smartphone revolution. Since then I've played with an Xperia x10 and a Samsung S3 to varied results (x10 was pants, S3 wasn't) and came to the realisation that, actually, I quite like my Smartphones now. I still ...  Read the complete review

When the nice Royal Mail man brought my new Nokia Lumia 820 to work, I squealed. Everyone else sighed with relief. I had been going on about it for rather a while. They were all keen to see it in action, but none were as eager as me. However, two things stood between me and being able to play with my new toy. One was that it needed a micro Sim and I currently had a normal one. But this we did not realise for a while because, crikey, was it hard to get the back cover off this bad boy. I tried. My admin tried. In the end I had to bring in the big guns and in doing so managed to answer the question "How many doctors does it take to prise off a Lumia's back cover?"  Read the complete review

Its been almost two months since I've had the Nokia Lumia 820, and I must say, I have never been happier with a phone since the days of Nokia 3210, Snake and the changeable cover. Although the Lumia 820 doesn't have Snake (boo!) and the changeable cover is a little harder to take off, it makes up for it in many other ways. First thing I noticed when first using this phone, is the really organised layout with the option to move around the tiles in location and size. This makes my life a lot easier, especially as I use my phone a lot for work and have to be able to find people and documents quickly. This along with the social aspect of Nokia Music and the ...  Read the complete review

The Nokia Lumia 820 is a great new phone from Nokia; it offers high-spec hardware at an affordable price. The windows phone eight operating system is still new and will only improve, however the range of apps already available is impressive. My everyday needs are satisfied by the excellent built in calendar, office and onenote apps. Third party applications also aid enjoyment, such as TvCatchup and TuneIn radio which will satisfy all customers' needs with regards to watching TV shows and listening to a wide range of variety radio shows, of any genre you could imagine. The interactive live tiles set this operating system far apart from it's rivals such as apple and ...  Read the complete review

Ill start of with talking about the key features of this phone it has a Dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon Krait CPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory, expandable, 4.3-inch 480 x 800 pixel AMOLED screen. In my opinion I think that you should stay away from this phone as there are many betters ones out there. The phone is not able to meet even the slightest expectations. I've found that its unbelievably frustrating to get a 3G connection , if I do manage to get a connection its very short lived and only connects for about 30-60 mins, I've also found the Bluetooth to be horrendous it doesn't sync, 802.11 connection just vanishes for no reason. I think that the camera ...  Read the complete review
