You May Hit Trouble on Your 6th Windows Phone Device
The cyan Nokia Lumia 800 I recently unboxed was my 6th Windows Phone device. How did I know? I was unable to download any apps from the Marketplace because of this error.

Do you love to take panorama photos? Check out Pano on your Nokia Lumia phone.

Demo: Thumba Photo Editor is like Photoshop for Windows Phone
I keep finding new things to love about Windows Phone on the Nokia Lumia 800. I really like the deep integration third-party apps can have with the core Windows Phone experience. For example, let’s take a look at the app called Thumba Photo Editor. After taking a photo with the camera, you can head to options then tap apps. This will send the photo directly to the app for some photo editing. For the end-user, this makes the third party app feel like a built-in feature.
