Owh man! That's a good feeling. I gave it a try while visiting Nokia store at The Garden and impressed with the solid OS. I would say real competitor to iOS compare to sloppy android.

For me, the OS feels more natural and make sense unlike iOS which solely based on apps. Anything that we use for everyday live, is just there.

Would love to change it myself but maybe later.

I considered waiting for the 900 but i've always liked the idea of owning a phone that did not require super large pockets to carry around

Now bring on the minesweeper leaderboard challenge!

From speaking with nokia staff, they all seem convinced that it's a question of "not yet". It's hard to say whether that's the genuine company line or if it's just a sales pitch. It would seem silly not to introduce it considering how much the other platforms are pushing gaming.

Still, I was always going to use my UK gamertag to register due to my emotional ties to my gamerscore/avatar. What sucks is that I'm now stuck with paying through paypal at GBP prices. Other than that, it's been quite refreshing retiring my 3 year old iphone 3g.

There is a function to change our gamertag region right? Perhaps you can try to change to US since it's much better I guess.

I believe that credit cards are still "region locked" so changing regions wont make a difference.. So i guess i'm still stuck on using paypal.

same here, bought my lumia 800 2 days back~ (a big jump from 3gs too)

looking at WP7 & IOS5 sametime makes IOS dull......... LOL

Found that out the hard way, which is a real PITA. Considering virtual credit cards like entropay now.

Tried that previously, do they work better now?

Not sure, but i'm in a unique situation with a uk gt and it seems entropay is uk based.. Otherwise theres the amex route but i suspect that only works if you can fool the postcode system and they have a different system in the uk.. What do you use to bypass the regional restrictions.

has anybody try this with Lumia 800 to XBox?

Well, entropay does work on my UK account which i used to buy chickens can't fly.

You're not missing much, Xbox companion doesn't really do much apart from acting like a remote control. Especially when you don't have access to a lot of the multimedia content.

Yeah, I guess I don't even need the ease of keyboard entry since I have a chat pad too.
