    heh. How long'd the last one take?

    As to answer your question, there is no benefit. Hence the Pointless bit beforehand.

    To start us off. has anyone seen the new nokia 800 (windows phone)?
    Even though it looks like their meego one, I still think it looks sexy as hell. I cant wait to see some of their designs next year.

    They're identical bodies, only the internals/software differ, but it does look bloody nice.

    we've got microsoft coming to the university on the 10th to do some sorta presentation to get students into deving for windows phone. lecturer reckons there might be free phones for the 20 or so of us who are going. Would be damn nice to get one of those lol, unlikely though.

    It would be nice, but I doubt they'd give away 20 of their expensive flagship devices at each uni they visit =P

    It does look pretty dayum cool, but hardware wise seems worse than its meego counterpart :confused:

    seeing the first reviews now, looking good, but people are slightly dissapointed. apparently their first nokia windows phone wont be available till next year in the US, and may not be the 800/710, so maybe another one will come along soon with better specs? otherwise if nokia just keeps kicking sub-par phones like this one out, they're not gonna survive.

    I like the windows phone OS, especially its windows & xbox live intergration I just want to see it on more, nicer, smarter devices, especially here in the UK where I believe we only have like two at the moment, the HTC titan and mozart.

    The very first thread? No idea, possibly longer, but the last half of the first thread and the first half of the second thread went really quickly, back in the day when everyone was active :moon:

    Any disadvantages apart from it being pointless?

    Probably off topic for this thread as there's a proper mobile phone thread elsewhere, but thoughts on the Nokia WP7 jump now that it's actually come to fruition? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15459118. I'll reserve judgment for now, but let's face it, things haven't been looking too great for Nokia for quite some time now.

    Oh, and:

    That is so wrong, but kind of amusing at the same time :holmes:
