Couldn't see an official thread for this so here we go..
Picked up one yesterday and am massively impressed with it. For a mid range phone it packs a lot of value in. Got it on O2 for £22pm (£10 for the phone and £12 for the airtime) with 600 minutes / Ultd texts and 750mb data.

The best things about it for me are
Downside obviously is 1.0 ghz processor vs 1.5 and only 512mb of ram however in normal usage you don't notice this and if you don't play the higher end games then the ram is not a problem.
So all in all, is this the best midrange phone out there and a bit of a hidden gem? I think so!

The best things about it for me are
- Premium look and feel - on a par with the 9xx imo
- Great size and form - unibody design, thinnest of all the Lumia's, nice and light and screen big enough without being too bulky
- Gorilla glass with curved bevel, really deep black and looks great
- Nice and vibrant display without being too in your face
- Removable storage with micro SD support to 64GB
- Wireless charging support with clip on shell accessory
- Great low light camera performance
