£450 - 500 is a safe bet.
If all my contacts are backed up to google contacts, will I be able to retrieve them using a windows phone? Worried I'll have to re enter all my contacts which would be rather time consuming
Yup.
It's a shame Nokia can't get this into the shops sooner. By the time it actually comes out I'm sure they'll be a string of other high end phone announced including the new Nexus.
Apple are the masters at announcing products that are ready to ship!

Thanks
this is looking like my next phone. It's funny how the cyan phone hasn't been announced, yet, they have a wireless charging plate in cyan :sI got a feeling they will release it later to boost sales maybe..
Maybe someone can convince me about wireless charging. I don't see how it's anything other than a gimmick?
What are the advantages? You still have to plug the charging base in. The phone goes on the base- it may as well just be plugged in as normal? Also, you're then stuck with only being able to recharge wherever the base is, although I'm sure you must still be able to charge the conventional way via micro USB for example.
I can only see it being useful when wireless charging is literally everywhere, e.g. built into desk tops, coffee tables, couches, car dashboards i.e. anywhere you might realistically put down a phone.
Am I being a little short sighted?
Well I've broke about 6+ charging cables this year. It's a pain.
Wireless charging will solve that.
allso the port can clog up with rubbish and on some phones you get it crack the case like the old iPhones and pretty much any plastic case phone.

I feel like I should dust off my Lumia 710 and play ARMED! with you what with all the back and forward 
After reading up on the Qi wireless charging standard Nokia uses I didn't realise it can actually provide 5 watts of power. Which is what most USB wall chargers provide (1A at 5V). Makes it far more usable than I first thought!
its a cleaner look as well, a small pad on your desk and you just lay it down, no cable ends randomly hanging about. Not having to seat the phone in the dock connection. Looking forward to Dock with built in NFC, then you just set it on then it syncs to you pc and charges with you having to do nothing.
Besides, thanks to the mUSB, any cable you had will act as a charger.

My mistake. Didn't see the brackets obviously
woo Tesco shopping app out now there taking noticeI cant wait to snap some pics with this handset
We've had that Tesco app since WP7 first came out in October 2010
Is there a 4g coverage map of the London area and how much they plan to cover by the end of 2012? since I live on the fringes of London I wondered how far it stretched out, or if it is literally strictly within the boundaries of London and they block all the signal that leaves it's borders through a Dr Evil style plot

Id heard there was a plot, it will become known as their price plan
I'm with you on that but we need to walk before we can run and the priciple techologies need to be lied down before we can have the 'dream' applications. Once more phones have wireless charging then we can see more effort in getting wireless charging stations everywhere. Phase 1 needs to come first i suppose.
When I get one, I reckon I'll fit a wireless charging pad into a cubby hole in my car/van, that'd be pretty handy. The other benefit is docking to speakers and the like, just stick it ontop press a button and (assuming they get it working) you have streaming music and charging. It's not a a need, it's a want and would be pretty cool.
It's also pretty refreshing to see a phone manufacturer taking a first step with some new technology that they don't immediately get massive gains from.
