My friend has got one he is willing to sell at a discount, say £350. It is barely used, as good as BNIB. It is unbranded and unlocked.
He is selling it because he has cashflow issues. |

This puts me off the most
No microSD card slot No removable battery No front facing camera No flash A small app store This puts me off a little Only a 720p video camera 512 MB RAM No dual core processor Windows Phone 7.5's closed and simplistic interface It's more expensive sim-free than the Samsung Galaxy S2, which is better 16GB internal storage is the best it offers. Saying that, it is a Nokia, which means it's well built and it does look amazing. When was the last time you carried around a second battery, or had to change one in the middle of the day? I used to carry one around, but then realised its better to charge the device sensibly, and never actually needed to change the battery. 720p camera thats still pretty good Doesn't need a dual core processor, which is close on mandatory to get Android running smooth |

No microSD card slot - 16Gb is plenty for an awful lot of people, and whilst it would be nice to stick your photos on the card I find the sky drive much more useful. No removable battery - still lasting over a day in normal use, about the same as HTC and other smartphones. Its warranted so if it goes wrong they can fix it ![]() No front facing camera - having had one on all my previous phones I still haven't used it once No flash - not noticed anything not working so far in Internet Explorer. A small app store - Hmmm, well I haven't downloaded the fart app but everything else I needed was there. This puts me off a little Only a 720p video camera - Great pics, no issues unless you like to compare specs. 512 MB RAM - No issues at all with RAM so far. No dual core processor - Not a single slowdown on anything. Windows Phone 7.5's closed and simplistic interface - I have no comment for this as I have no idea what it is meant to indicate to me. It's more expensive sim-free than the Samsung Galaxy S2, which is better - Is it? Can't say I'm bothered what other phones cost but quick google seems to indicate they are close to one another. 16GB internal storage is the best it offers. - Haven't even got to 8gb full and whats on there will still mean I have too much. Do you really need ALL your music on it at once? Saying that, it is a Nokia, which means it's well built and it does look amazing. - Agree

1080p is all the rage with mobile phones, but I do wonder considering the lens if you record a scene or the lens' imperfections. It's a matter of personal preference, but I'd rather use a dedicated video camera for proper videos and for other occasions 720p for me is more than enough.

C) The Nokia Drive App is great, I haven't used it much. But I did download and install the entire mapping for england this morning in about 6 minutes. Currently it needs a data connection to do the initial routing for a journey and then it can navigate with only a GPS signal but very soon there will be an update meaning no internet is required at all. Only Nokia phones come with a free fully offline navigation solution. You can't get that on iPhone or Android. D) Re: micro-sim, ask a phone shop to cut your current sim down, they use a staple-shaped thing to stamp it down. |

How customizable are the tiles? is it just choose a color theme? or is that it?
and another thing putting me off, is everything looks so black and white! |

^^^ You can choose a basic colour of the tiles although I find blue the best. You can choose if background is black or white, I prefer black. You can choose what you pin to start page. It can be app, picture, game from xbox hub, web page. The last one is nice, it gives an illusion of an app. Tiles can be static or dynamic, in the colour scheme or in any other colour, depends on the author. You can choose a background picture when phone is locked. An app can have one main tile and several secondary tiles. You can have custom ringtones, you can assign a ringtone to a contact, the usual stuff. If you need to control every aspect of the UI then WP7 is not for you, but I'd say you can customise it reasonably well.

Not all tiles use the colour theme you pick, many have their own logos and look too so choosing what to pin to the homescreen is your main way of customising the phone. Example of app tiles with their own style include sky news, imdb, capital FM, and amazon kindle. |

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/marketplace There is a general sky news app which has a sports category. There is also the ESPN Goals app which is very good for football. |
