I'll add more details as we go but I'm already impressed with the Lumia Denim update, no more touching my phone to speak with Cortana "Hey Cortana" "Yes Liam" "make me a coffee".......

I'll add updates as it goes on via now posts.

Here are some pics of the new phones. Personally I love the design language of the 830

The phones look excellent.

I have mentioned this before about the Nokia phones, I actually disliked the orange and lime green use of colours. However it seems Nokia knew what they were doing because (here in Spain) they are everywhere. So a certain market seems to love them...(and they are growing on me as well)

Just so you know I am going to do some work now so I won't reply for a while. Got to prepare for the new term next week and I'm starting to write a Psych Degree.

Cheers. It's going to take a year to write up but it will be worth it in the end to have my own department/area

Just seen those specs on wpcentral I see the 830 has glance but I can live without it as the 730 has at least got double tap to wake ,both phones look good though
