Disappointed in Windows Phone so far. Send me your tips! (Nokia Lumia test)
Last Friday afternoon I got my Nokia Lumia 800 in. First impressions were of a great looking phone with a solid feel to it. The packaging was nice as well, so it all built up pretty nicely. After getting myself a micro sim, the test period was on. I had set myself the challenge to...

Jux, the future of blogging?
