  OMG I am so excited about this. As is Holly. The article also details why the finished pi won't be made in the UK. The reasons are entirely understandable, and frankly, Vince, you need to sort this shit out (there's an e-petition here: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/27158 which I have signed, and encourage you to do too)

• State Rep. Threatens 'to Stomp' Transgender People in "Wrong" Bathrooms
  American politics is so much more pugnacious than ouyrs, isn't it? Glad to see the poll is currently 85% in favour of people using whatever bathrooms they feel like. Me, personally, I like that our local gym/pool complex has one great big changing room (with cubicles for those who need it) for everyone. It's a lot easier than arbitrary division by sex or gender.

I'd have myself a lumia 800 EXCEPT the camera is inferior to the N8.

You can better your N8 by upgrading the software to Anna.

Better still, go to dailymobile.se and follow instructions to flash your firmware to the leaked Belle 111.03.0609 (or even better a custom firmware like the.one89's, which is what i use) and enjoy amazing upgraded usability and functionality that you never had on the N8 before.

Its like getting a brand new phone without having to lay out any money, just time and downloading the Phoenix flashing software.

*cough* her N8 died when it got dropped into water, she's using my old 5800 for now. I, OTOH, still love my N8 and might just try that (got Anna already, it's nice)

A phone having a camera not as good as the N8 isn't a major problem though, all phones are in that position currently, and we don't really take enough photos to worry about it, the 5800 does fine.

Anna is SO OLD compared to Belle. I swear to god the difference is like having a new telephone.

Imagine having a Nokia without bars up the sides? Its staggeringly beautiful.

I use the.one's cfw, built on top of 111.03.0609 and its very clean, boots lightning fast, and if this mum of two/housewife can flash my phone, anyone can do it. Shout if you need help.

http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php?topic=52888.0 is a good link to start. the screencaps show you how different Belle is to Anna, and there's tutorials etc on what to do / how to do it, etc.
