@Dan_Grose Yep - I have the 800, and I'm totally impressed. Excellent design/useability all-round. Also: a curved screen! Simple things.
-
The Lumia's Nokia Music service is actually a neat idea: you can tune into genre-ified radio stations a bit like Soundrop on Spotify… nice.
-
@Nokia_Connects Currently listening to Drum & Bass radio [am an aging DnB-head ;) ]. It's great! Looking forward to compiling my own mix…
-
Thoughtful, bright & surprisingly swear-lite post RT @SongbyToad "Last.fm and Pandora are Fucking Pointless." Oh dear. http://t.co/Coxf6fFS
-
Since when did the plural of "indie song" become "Indie Anthems"?
-
@ThatTwitMatt Exactly right! Couldn't think what it reminded me of. The movie looks ace (is rated R is US = swearing, nudity + blood, yay!)
-
I don't often tweet about the same thing twice (*lie*), but the Geoff Barrow Judge Dredd album is really great: http://t.co/9T8Vc4qB
-
@ThatTwitMatt PS - have you heard the soundtrack to the forthcoming Judge Dredd movie? Excellent: http://t.co/9T8Vc4qB
-
@ThatTwitMatt Ha,when have I pretended to be anything else? In honesty though, the phone's amazing. *Segue:* Will *honestly* call you soon!
-
Can't believe I finally switched to Mac and then discover that the really good phone I like is a Windows one. Modern life, eh?
-
*RIMSHOT* RT @gowmana: @ANewBandADay I like my phones like my women; reassuringly dense
-
More astonishingly asinine tech reviews on the Lumia coming up, BTW. Useful descriptions of the music player (the important bit) to come.
-
How kind: I've been loaned a Nokia Lumia 800 from @nokia_connects. Reassuringly dense. Delightfully curved screen. Lovely rectangular icons.

Oh, bugger it RT @FourTet: Healing myself with this http://t.co/fpzF11Oq watched it 4 times through in the last couple of days
-
Really fighting the urge not to just retweet all of @FourTet's links to insanely amazing Jeff Mills youtube videos….
-
Wow, this is one hell of a return RT @FourTet: YES... new Nathan Fake is here: http://t.co/5kf5augU

FORTUNE HOWL: jigsaws, kaleidoscopes, swirling caramel sounds - http://t.co/y0HjWHr1

Sorry to go on about the Google Doodle Moog (Moogle Doodle?), but the tech behind it is as amazing as the Synth itself. http://t.co/EJ3tPiBu

Don’t mind us, we’re just a couple of idiots drilling through the same balcony we’re standing on.
Come to West Yorkshire’s famed Brontë country! See the famous Brontë graves! Ride in the famous Brontë taxi!
I have literally no idea - not even the faintest inkling - of how a plant like this even grows.
The owner of the scrapyard down the road does not welcome dogs as customers, and is not afraid of announcing it.

- “Sense” by Lightning Seeds/Terry Hall

No, it doesn’t make sense to me, either.
When was the last time you saw a brightly-coloured fish and took a photo of it?
Hand-wringing Tumblr tweens may be up in arms about this but I love it.
Some gags never get old.
