Thanks. I was under the impression I still needed to calibrate the battery but will not bother now. Incidentally I get about 1.5 - 2 days out of the phone before it needs recharging.

Hi all, Is it necessary for me to calibrate the battery at all on the lumia 800? Nothing in the manual about this being needed to take good care of the battery. By calibrate I mean charge to full, fully discharge, then charge back up again. Thanks.

Hi all, I am after a pouch/wallet for my cyan lumia 800. I want something that I slip my phone in and out of when I use - so it's not a flip-case or something permanently attached to the phone. I was looking at the Nokia CP-567 Carrying Case (the envelope style design), which looks good -...

It is a stupidly frustrating system - and I have to wait 30 days to set it right, from what I can see. However, my original question remains - what activity on my phone is linked to the gamertag, and what is linked to the broader Live ID? So if I keep my Live ID but move my gamertag to another...

I have tried this. Unfortunately I cannot do this as it says I already have a gamertag associated with my new ID, which was inadvertently created on my Windows Phone when I pressed the Xbox Live app. So I have to 'make room' for my old (& active) gamertag by shifting the one inadvertantly...

Thanks - it's p[ossible to rename my gamertag, yes. But my point is I have two LIVE ids. LIVE id 1 is linked to my Xbox live gamertag (gamertag 1); LIVE id 2 is the one I want to keep using on my phone. Because I hadn't moved gamertag 1 to LIVE id 2, Microsoft created a NEW gamertag, gamertag 2...

Hi all, I have a WLID that I use for my xbox. I created a new WLID for my phone as my xbox WLID is a slightly silly 'gamer' name. I pressed the Xbox live tile on my new windows phone and it automatically set up a new gamertag for me, as my phone WLID was not previously associated with any...

Hi all, Thought you might be interested in an update. I've decided to go for the cyan lumia 800 (the 900 isn't widespread here in the UK and I have read the 800 is the nicer model - slimmer, smaller etc). I will get used to windows OS, I'm sure. Got it from O2 for ?18.50 pm with 200 minutes...

It's not so much that I'm dependent on Google - it's that I actively avoid Microsoft. But from what I'm reading here, I can still customise my experience and avoid things like Hotmail without too much trouble... Thanks for all your continued replies by the way, it's very helpful.

Yeah, I do use hotmail but as a kind of 'spam' account - so whenever I'm signing up for something that may spam me, I use my hotmail address. My 'serious' account is my gmail one. I thought that perhaps I could create a new windows live id using my gmail email as my sign-in. And I could...

Hi all, I really like the minimalism design of the Windows Phone OS, and am seriously considering buying a Nokia Lumia 800. However, my main email account is a google account. I have a hotmail/windows live email but I don't really use it and don't particularly want to start using it - I have...
