          This is a great phone.
          Sure it's missing basic features and the specs are from 2009, but show your support an buy it anyway.
          Nokia needs our Support and back them up as Windows Phone is the peoples choice.

          Thanks

            Gsmarena,
            The update has seemingly improved my lumia's battery life a bit..It now goes 32 hours with gprs connectivity ensured.
            The other changes I noticed are that the phone speed has been substantially increased with lag between launch almost gone.
            The music player has had a torrid time previously but this update saves it's skin...the bass has been significantly improved and it plays like a n8 now.

              Please run the audio quality test to compare how much is the improvement they made.

                  of course you can always wrap an iCondom on it or use nail polish to fix the antenna issue "DIY style "

                            You mention your review of the Lumia 800, and the audio quality problems. Can you please, please re-test the audio quality when this update becomes available to everyone so that we know whether this phone will end up being a decent personal music player?

                            Thanks!

                              My phone is just over a month old and i've had problem(s) with it so far.and as to battery life it shows 1 day and 17 hours fully charged but it last just over 24 hrs before charge so can't complain really.it's a good phone nd nokia really needs to crank it up to compete with apple and android phones.

                                Finally I can use my super cool Nokia Lumia 800 all day without having to recharge. Sad we had to wait for it, but now I have no Nokia related issues left with the phone. The OS on the other hand is still lacking in some of the areas where Symbian excelled, like true multi tasking and sensor support (heart monitor for sports). But man I love the design of that phone!

                                    Yep, battery life is way better now, not great though, but none of the smart phones has great battery life. If you want great battery life, go with S40.
                                    Best thing with this phone is though, how it combines all different accounts together, email usage is pure joy now

                                      Cool update. Great if this is also coming to Lumia 710, because I purchased it today.
