One of those slight bumps in the road was the importing of contacts from an email account, but he worked round it, and was ultimately pleased with the 'super user-friendly' UI. [...]

Time for reflection and contemplation, and a balanced look at what happened in London last week. Perhaps predictably, the focus falls on the Nokia Lumia 800. Nokia vs. iPhone and Android Luke Westaway has put the Lumia 800 up against the iPhone 4s and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in a four-pronged examination of their capabilities. [...]
