  Today I thought it would be great to shine a light on what the guys from our Trial a Nokia programme have been up to recently. If you are not aware of the Trial a Nokia programme, it’s where we give you the opportunity to take a phone off of our hands to try out and share your experiences.

We’ll be focusing on the eye-catching Nokia Lumia 720 this time. If you’re not familiar with the phone itself, Dave from Geekanoids has produced this unboxing and first impressions video for you, which gives you a tour of the phone right out of the box.

Telling the Lumia 720’s imaging story we have photographer Andrew, who’s just got back from a photography workshop in Jersey, UK. A self confessed filter fan, Andrew quickly downloaded Lomogram to get his desired effects. Personally, I think the images look great. Andrew was impressed with the camera too, saying the ‘colours are marvelously vibrant’ even after running the photos through Lomogram.

Finally let’s take a look at a more in depth perspective of the phone. For that, we need Nirave from ukmobilereview, who has put together a comprehensive review for us. If you are considering purchasing one for yourself, a friend or a family member, this is definitely worth a read. One of the main things Nirave points out is its value for money.

“The best thing about the Lumia 720 is the PRICE”

In Nirave’s review the pros outweigh the cons, where the Lumia 720’s build quality, price, slick Windows Phone 8 OS and solid camera performance shine through. Take a look and let him know if you have any questions about the phone.
