I have misplaced my case - I have used it only on the first day, but now I have no idea where it is. Usually I am quite good with stuff like this, keeping everything in their original boxes, but not this time :( Mauricio Freitas (Geekzone Admin, Devil's Advocate, my blog, technology disclosure, my tweets, Web Performance Optimization) Geekzone Price comparison \| Amazon Kindle order page \| How to get the best out of Geekzone \| New Zealand IT Jobs \| Geekzone News \| Jinglebugs

The Nokia Lumia 800 WHITE is now available from Vodafone NZ... The first 25 purchases online will receive a free Nokia Purity HD stereo handset as well :) Mauricio Freitas (Geekzone Admin, Devil's Advocate, my blog, technology disclosure, my tweets, Web Performance Optimization) Geekzone Price comparison \| Amazon Kindle order page \| How to get the best out of Geekzone \| New Zealand IT Jobs \| Geekzone News \| Jinglebugs

Was going to buy the white but was put off by the glossy finish. Ordered my black online. By the way - in the shop a microsim is $20 - online it is free. Stupid

I have an XT Lumia 800 but my work SIM is with Vodafone so I am having coverage issues. Anyone with the opposite problem who wants to swap i.e. a Vodafone Lumia but an XT SIM?

I picked up a Nokia Lumia 710 about 2 weeks ago now, and have been loving it since. I got it from Parallel Imported here in Hamilton, and acording to the box is a T-Mobile edition. It was so simple to get up and running, pop in my 2Degrees Mobile Micro SIM and away i was going, no mucking around with network or APN settings!! One interesting thing i found that came pre-installed with the phone was a program called Diagnostics. I am not sure if it was a T-Mobile based thing, or downloadable from the MarketPlace. I haven't been able to find it on the 610's that work has for some of the other guys. On that note, it doesnt have a T-Moble splash screen on startup, very nice :) There were about 4 updates that were required on the phone when i got it, but it has been rock solid since. I am a bit of a freak when it comes to screen protectors, it still has the factory protector on it, and the gel case that i picked up for it covers the little silver pull tab, so it will be on there for a long time yet. A recent released app (Counters) is awesome, i am really enjoying the speed i can quickly check the number of minutes, txt and data i have left in a month, rather than logging into the 2DegreesMobile site each time. Battery life is ok, but i am charging it each night for good measure, not much i can do about that, other than getting an upgraded mAh battery from someone like Mugen.

@jaymz Check out the My2degrees app in the market place. It is a live tile and can be set to display all your remaining data/minutes/SMS & special rates. I love it.

I had seen it mentioned before, but there were a few bad reviews about it. I will have another look at it today. I have been having a play with custom ringtones recently too :)

I got a Nokia Lumia 710 today. Very impressed so far but I'm not getting the 'Nokia Collection' in the Marketplace. I have run all the updates, including the 'Nokia Update'. I really want to get the 'Play To' and 'Camera Extras' apps. I found a barcode for the Camera Extras in another forum. This took me to Camera Extras in the Marketplace but it told me it wasn't available. I don't have any reception at home, just running off wifi. Is it possible that I need to be connected to the network to get into the Nokia Apps? Also, it's a Telecom branded handset but I am using 2degrees. I have a Telecom SIM too but as I say, zero reception here so not sure if that will make a difference.

Ok, so I'm going to be losing my work iPhone 4S when I change jobs at the end of October. I'm seeing this as an opportunity to give another platform a try (mainly because I want to go prepay stump and I don't want to stump up the full retail for my own iPhone). I'm not a massive app user and I've found almost all of my iOS apps have a well-rated WP7 equivalent. Plus, I could roll my own with the SDK if I had to. What are your thoughts on the Lumia 710? I see there are a few as-new ones going to TradeMe for a decent price.
