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 enough accounts and emails already. So my question is, how hard is Windows Live pushed on the Nokia Lumia - is it something I really need to start using if I am to get the best out of the phone? Or can I use the phone happily without logging in to Windows live etc.
I guess I could create a new Windows Live account for the app store and so on, but it wouldn't be linked to anything else like hotmail etc, so maybe that defeats the point.
My other concern is Bing being forced on me as a default search engine - again I am perfectly happy with google. However I may be able to get past this, as long as I am not forced into Windows live.
Thanks...
