Thanks, I'd be interested to hear your further thoughts

I've been royally done over by O2, so I'm still looking for a handset, not sure what to grab yet, but when they grace me with my money back the lying toads (that's an extremely polite way of putting it, otherwise I'd have to ban myself) I can finally get a new phone!

Trying to sort out my issues with CPW now, so not going to have much time to play, Sunday though i will, so will report my findings then.

I got this case - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OHRRTLU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 until I can afford the Official Nokia Flip case!

What colour 830 did you get!!!

Black, was all they had, i have asked for an email from mobilefun about the green offical case as it's 19.99 from them.

Mobilefun.co.uk have all colors in stock now, just ordered a green one.

Small update on my 830, not yet received the freebies, but i have got the Flip case, in BRIGHT green :cool:

and it is bright, but i've had to exchange my first phone, as i kept getting random crashes, and sim error messages, Also the micro SD was impossible to remove without force.

Only had the new phone since lunch, so will see how it goes, but the SD car is still very hard to pull out.

Apart from the issues it's been really good, great battery unlike the N5 before, fantastic camera, i do miss Android's twitter app and G+ though.

My 830 was still on 90% battery by 5pm this evening (off charge since 7am)... So loving this phone!!

Did you receive an update yesterday ? mine did, not sure what it was for though.

Just ordered my kit.

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!

Yes it does, seen it done!

I think it's only on the newer phones with SensorCore?

That's pretty cool, the new motion features in the Beta are quite good also , just putting the phone to your ear to answer a call is a great feature.
