    I'm still on the look out for a phone.

    I have to admit I didn't initially like Windows 8 Phones, but i was messing around with a friends the other night and it did grow on me.

    I bought this for €275 two months ago and have no regrets. for every con (lack of apps) there are pros - connect to xbox live, microsoft exclusive apps etc. Good camera, good mp3

    €229 is a good price

    Excellent value, I bought mine for 400 and considered it a bargain.

    WP8 is a really exciting OS/

    If you're willing to go with B stock or refurbs, there's Lumia 920s on Cyberport for €330-ish, they pop up cheaper sometimes, I got one for €290 a couple of weeks back: link

    Ativ S is around the same price. Id go with that over the 8x. Typing this out on an 8X and although its a lovely device, the pathetic 16GB storage has bugged me from day one. The Ativ S has expandable memory which allows you to get another 32GB at least.

    If memory isn't a concern then its a nice phone. Its Windows Phone so it is lightning fast. The camera quality is great and it shoots fast. Call quality is generally very good l, and the screen is superb, but perhaps a little small.
