Happy Friday! After a long week, I am ready to start the weekend. Additionally, another reason to be excited is that I got back in time to take part in the Nokia style challenge along with many others. I will be using the Lumia 635, Cortana device that Nokia provided me
with to check out what it offers, as well as see how it helps me during my
shopping excursion.

I must admit, I have two Smartphones, one which I use
strictly for work, but neither of them are Windows phones, so I was definitely
interested in this challenge because the Lumia comes with Windows 8.1. That
alone is a feature that I was most looking forward to using on-the-go with the Microsoft
Office applications.
(Above: getting acquainted with the phone and about to book more travelling dates).
I am starting to play with the phone more, and getting everything
in order, so all will soon be sorted. The One Note and One Drive is lending
itself to be very useful at the moment, especially for task lists, schedules, and work documents.
But, so far, honestly the only thing that I
am truly missing primarily is the crispness of my current Smartphone cameras. Although this offers auto focus and panorama features, if
you have an iPhone, then you will notice a difference, as the Lumia 635 has 5
Megapixels with no LED flash. However, I did test it out, and it seems to take decent close-up shots.
Well, there’s much to analyse and sift through, and I am gleefully
downloading Apps as I type. I’ll have loads to share throughout this venture,
so stay tuned …
Be sure to follow my journey, and other fellow fashionistas
as we find budget-friendly styles in the Nokia #StyledbyLumia three-week challenge. I will be updating my findings
mostly via Twitter, and Instagram, but occasionally here on the blog as well.
This weekend we'll be hosting a big dinner, so I will be squeezing in shopping at some point in-between. Looking forward to showing you more in these next few weeks.
What are your plans for the weekend?

ReplyDeleteI must admit I've never used anything else but iphones, so I've always been curious with androids, and now, this Windows one. Let us know how you like it for sure.
I love new gadgets but have dropped two iPhones into the loo :/// Don't put your phone in your back pocket or it gets expensive!!! ..I won't buy a new phone any soon :(
ReplyDeleteLet us know how you get along with your Nokia. Have a great weekend. Xoxo

I got the Nokia Lumia 635 as part of the challenge as well. And I would have to agree with you about the camera (my other phone is the S5, which has an amazing camera)l, but I'm enjoying playing around with it so far.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to try out new tech. My husband is testing the iPhone 6 and 6 plus for work. Enjoy your big dinner this weekend. I've been down with a bug these past 2 days so I'll just be resting this weekend.

Lovely! I'm so glad Apple finally has some competition this past year! All vendors have definitely stepped it up when it comes to telecommunication! Great review. (:

Oh das hört sich interessant an. Ich bin ja ein leidenschaftlicher Apple Benutzer. Deshalb kenne ich mich mit Nokia nicht so aus, aber es sieht schon mal gut aus. ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds very interesting. I'm looking to getting a new smartphone - will be awaiting your review about this. :) I'm working today, but off on Sunday, so I can attend church service which I haven't been for awhile. *Schones Wockenende meine Schwester....Alles Liebe!*

Great! Yes, the camera on the 5 is a good element. I am liking many part of this phone as well so far. :)
ReplyDeleteOuch, dropping two phones can be quite costly if it breaks. yes, I will be updating about it later in the week. Thanks Mahshid! xxoo
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty great, especially the Windows part ... I will update more later on. :) xx
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks dear, I agree!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am going to hold out on the 6 for a bit, but the iPhone 5 works great to me. I hope you enjoyed a restful weekend. :) x
ReplyDelete:-) Many companies have definitely stepped up their tech-game, regarding mobile styles. Thanks for your comment Carsla.
ReplyDeleteWell, the Windows element is pretty nice, I must admit! But, like you mentioned Apple is very convincing, especially with the Apps and camera features. Will be updating my thoughts on it later.
ReplyDeleteThanks dear,, Yes, I shall have a bit more to share abut the phone later on this week. :) Dankeschön meine Schwester!
ReplyDeleteAlles Liebe, Madison xx
Thanks! xx
ReplyDeleteYes, if you're looking for an alternative, I would suggest playing around with the Lumia, especially other styles of it too.xx
ReplyDeleteThanks dear. Much rested now. I'm excited for this challenge, it shall be a lot of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emmy! will certainly let you know more, and my thought about the challenge soon. x

ReplyDeleteCla, Ich benutze auch Apple, aber das Nokia ist sehr schön und hat einige interessante Features. :) x

I've never ever had a phone with Windows. I guess it's super easy to operate it. I hope you got the hand of it already :)

Liebe Madison, das ist eine interessante Challenge und ich wünsche Dir viel Erfolg! Ich hatte ein schönes Wochenende, da wir entsprechend unserem Plan beim Wandern in den Bergen waren und die Tage auf unserer Terrasse genossen haben, da das Wetter sehr schön war. Hoffentlich hattest Du auch ein sehr tolles Wochenende!
