Nokia, meanwhile, is said to be "happy" with sales of its newest Lumias, as public opinion (aided by Microsoft's £25m marketing spend) warms to WP. [Mobile Today via WMPoweruser] Read More >>

A couple of days ago, I just happened to be in one of the less salubrious parts of London, and had the misfortune of being the victim of a rather violent mugging. Though the actual rolling-around-on-the-floor-getting-kicked part was over pretty quickly, I've been struggling to get my life back in order ever since.
