I’ve held back on posting a review of the Nokia Lumia 800 as I’ve sent it back to get a firmware update to fix the battery problems I was having with it.
Battery was taking about 6hrs to fully charge and only lasting a few hours on that charge. I did notice the cable supplied took longer to charge than the dedicated mains charger I have with my Nokia E7, so not sure if firmware and cable related problems. I’ll soon find out when I hopefully get the phone back before this weekend.
Apart from the battery problems I was really enjoying using the Nokia Lumia 800 and Windows Phone OS. Some of the pre-installed apps for Messaging, proper Email, Contacts and Sharing are a joy to use.
I must also mention the NextGen Reader app for Google Reader, I’m actually missing using it, back on the iPhone 4 and using Feedly makes me realise I need to buy maybe Reeder for iPhone?
Friday is going to be a busy day for me, I’ll be updating my Xbox and testing out the new Xbox companion app for windows Phone as well

Super Bock 4 for £2

Bargain of the week in Tesco is Super Bock, 4 beers for £2. I usually have this Portuguese beer when I go to Nando’s for some chicken wings, but think I pay about £3-4 a bottle for it!

I should have taken all the beers that where there, rather than just the 8?
