billgates:
Telecom store at Sylvia Park mall in Auckland has a live unit that you can play around wth. 

Telecom Newmarket also
But don't expect then to know anything.. Tried to sell me a usb charger and gel cover... not knowing they already came with the phone.
I was her first customer that bought a lumia.   
Telecom sent me a text a week later, offering  me a a training session with one of there "phone rangers" I really felt like replying with " give my half hour voucher to Telecom Newmarket.. they need it!"

This will be good news for those of you with battery drain worries.  And update is on it's way.

My Nokia Lumia is already running that version. It was released in Singapore and I believe the Nokia Lumia distributed in New Zealand already had it installed (or perhaps some of the devices).

Also it's been distributed in Australia via Telstra and Dick Smith. I don't think this is the update we are looking for...

I currently have every service possible running and find I am just getting short of a day which can be a pain.

I find i get the battery critical warning around 7/8pm and by the time I go to bed it has shut itself down.

What services should I be switching off to save battery?

I disable all Background apps (in Settings | Applications | Background). I also disable Feedback, and Update Checking.

Right, sorry for getting people's hopes up.  I don't have the 800 to check the current version.

putting the phone into Battery Saver mode is a faster way to disable all the background tasks

I am having an issue on the 800 and bluetooth
I have a jabra   clip on sunvisor type handsfree and it pairs up fine 
Outgoing calls work fine
Incoming calls it wont auto answer the call and put it through the hands free.
I have to pick up the phone and press the bluetooth tile?
any tips apart from RTFM? 


My old HTC Touch would answer after 3 rings on incoming calls and work fine

yours confused?

Just a heads up Telecom have started sending out emails about the pre-order gifts so check your emails.

Won myself an Xbox 360 Kinect :)

Thank you Very VERY much Telecom.

Oh the Lumia 800 is awesome as well!

Hi There

I hope someone can help me. I bought a lumia 800 yesterday. When I had it connected to my wifi yesterday the internet was working fine and the websites were loading ok. this morning when I am not connected to it but connected to 3G some websites refuse to load. but apps like people, FB, etc are working. Its a telecom version i am using on Vodafone.

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know where you are but if your not in the city it will only be running on 2G and I find the HTC Titan does not work well on low bandwidth connections but works perfect on WIFI.
I am in Greytown and we have some of the worst coverage in the Wairarapa so I can't get much use of it anywhere in town due to only 1 bar of 3G outside and usually no coverage inside.

Luckly we have Wifi in town and at home so that is my work around.
