If you've visited here more than once you might have noticed that while everyone here uses an Android device, we're hardly the most partisan blog out there. Android suits our needs best for now, but we've always got an eye and an ear out for what else is happening in the mobile space. Windows Phone, for all it's lack of consumer traction to date, is one of those happenings. Several of us here are following developments in that space closely, even actively hoping Windows Phone does well. You see regardless of what OS we end up using, competition breeds innovation and price point tension that's good for everyone.
We've covered Windows Phone here at AndroidNZ before - you may recall Nik put his money where his mouth is and procured a Windows Phone handset to really see how life was for the other half (or half a percent, for you statistics pedants out there). If you don't recall, a refresher is only this far away, and it's a great read.
Recently editor Anita Paling got a chance to try out a Nokia Lumia 710, as part of the activities of the Telecom Tech Blog (who will posting my own content on the HTC One X over the coming 6 weeks). She posted a number of pieces for them, and also a few pieces on aspects of the device that were well covered by others in the review group and never made it to the blog. We're going to republish these here at AndroidNZ for you guys n gals over the next week or so, so that you can catch up with Anita's thoughts on the Lumia and Windows Phone.
For my part I hope you'll enjoy them, I know I did. If however if you're a one-eyed Android fanboy, I guess you'll just have to avert your eyes and pretend these pieces never happened (no doubt the S3 will provide ample distraction for you). Catch you real soon with the first instalment of WindowsPhoneNZ.
