Nokia UK took to the streets of London to play their version of SmokedByWindowsPhone to show how fast the Lumia 800 is against other phones on the market. They went for the usual test scenarios including searching, uploading and posting and invited members of the public to take on the Lumia and offerd a £10 prize if they could beat it!In the video they show everyone getting smoked by the Lumia we are not sure if they lost any challenge , Microsoft did run in to some issue with their version of the challenge.
Nokia UK is planning to bring this to other cites as well so look out for those guys in a city near you.
Nokia have released the Lumia 710 in the U.K., with the handset going free on contracts of £20.50 per month on a 24 month agreement with Vodafone, see links below for Nokia Lumia 710 on each carrier in the U.K.
Vodafone are the cheapest carrier by far for the Lumia 710, however you only get 100 cross network minutes included in the tariff which works out at around 3 minutes a day.
‘Bing Vision’ was limited to USA for as long as its been a part of the OS. There was a work-around of switching your Location if you happened to lived outside the US, Until today it seems… Professor Thibault reported yesterday that France had ‘Bing Vision’.

A new TV ad from HTC for HTC Radar was spotted in UK, thanks to Tom Waren from WinRumors. This new ad featuring Annika Lischke, a designer/photographer shows Windows Phone’s People Hub, Photo sharing, etc,. Also the video quality is not the best that you have come across, so kindly ignore the quality.
Today, whilst wondering around town, I decided to go into the Vodafone shop (Vodafone is the network I’m on) & ask them when they would be getting any Windows Phone 7 devices in.
They told me that it just so happened that they had a WP7 representative in-store just earlier today, showing them about it. The guy I talked to said that when someone comes in to show them a phone like that, they tend to get the phone/s arriving within a month, which in this case coincides with the rumored October release date of WP7.
I then also went into an Orange & a T-Mobile store.
Orange said they were getting in some devices next
month & had seen the same representative earlier,
but T-Mobile hadn’t heard anything.
No one seemed to know anything specific about which devices would be appearing,
but one guy did mention that something to do with Acer. Ive not heard anything about any Acer WP7 devices yet, but it looks like they are still in the game!
October cant come too soon.
Plus it’s my birthday on the 18th… ;)
