For some reason or the other these fines have been left unpaid till [...]

You can feel that bitterness ebbing away slightly in their introduction, “For the first time in ages, it’s possible to recommend a Nokia phone to somebody in the pub. [...]

Here’s an 8 minute, mini-documentary on how the Nokia Lumia 800 was made. GSM Arena called this video, “amazing”.
