Just a heads up to anyone thinking of joining the Beige Side and going 'Windows 'Phone' 8.1' before the end of the year!...

You also get the chance to order £100odd quids worth of goodies...

Nice Interlink man just delivered them today!! :)

(uses the resonance of the surface/container for extra base!)

Pairs with NFC and from what I've heard sounds rather good, can dance around the desk a bit when pushed, but Bassey!!

Not tried it yet as it's charging!

Portable Wireless Charging plate DC-50 - RRP £70 (can be bought for £40)

I've read it can just about do 2-off full charges of the 830, and about 1-off charge on the 930, it takes its time charging the phones as it's only avout 750mAh, but as a boost when needed that doesn't matter!, and the Lumia 830 is proving it's battery lasts aaaages with the 'Battery Sense' program on the phone!, works so much better than Google and Snapdragon's power manager on the Nexus 4 I had previously!

Not tried it yet as it's charging!

£100odd quids worth of goodies free!!! :D
 
That's the RRP...

I looked arround for my 830 as most places were selling it for the RRP... I then found it Sub-£300 on Carphonewarehouse.

Apart from messing me around with the delivery, it was a very nice find!! :)

The free Speaker is actually pretty decent I found.

You're not wrong!!! I just had a play with it (it's now charged!)

Stuck it on the Fridge and Stuck a bit of Floyd through it!! ******* hell... Sounds really good!! I can now listen to music whilst I cook and still hear it over the extractor!!! :cool:

I'll get a video up when I can steal the wife's Lumia 620 (can't play music whilst recording video apparently!! :( )

What I'm now not sure about is if you click the link from the MS site, it takes you to Amazon but for a Vodafone branded handset for £419.99, but you can still buy the other sim free versions for less on there, and the T&Cs state you must buy it from an authorized dealer, which Amazon is, so we should be able to buy the sim free version and still claim the package?

Carphonewarehouse isn't one of the 'Authorised' dealers from what I can see, but I still got them!! :)

and Tesco's is, as the 730 and 635 deals link to their site!! :)
 
Oh Yeah!!!

Coming from a Nexus 4 that would use 60% of it's battery by 2pm, to a phone that still says 70% when I get home at 6pm and I've not turned any of the notifications off like I had to on the Nexus!.

Okay there are a few apps I miss, Play Music for one, but I have a 64Gb card in the phone, plus the 16Gb internal, I can just stick a chunk of music on the card and listen to that!.

Here+ Maps is far better than Google Maps or Waze as it's off-line (apart from Traffic) and I've ditched my Garmin in favour of the phone!...

Love it!! Would recomend my mates join the Beige Side too!! :D
 
No update yet, apparently there's a Cortana update coming soon (800 series CPU's first) that let's you voice activate her like Google now - "Hey Cortana"

Supposedly even while the screen is off/asleep (unlike google now)

Will come to the rest of the Snapdragons later!
