The Verdict
As a result of the experience with Nokia Lumia Goodridge are currently making the switch from Blackberry:
“Our previous phones were ok for email alone, but that was about it, whereas now with the Nokia phone, it’s very good, we can use it on a daily basis as a PC pretty much. It is as good as a desktop!” Martin Taylor, Marketing Manager, Goodridge

As the company already have a Microsoft IT infrastructure, the set up with Nokia Lumia was quick and painless.
“Because of all the functionality that comes with the Nokia Lumia, users saw the move to Windows Phone 8 as a breath of fresh air. It allows greater communication between members of staff.” says Alex Nagy, an IT Engineer at Goodridge. “It’s handy we don’t have to worry about things like antivirus due to the closed nature of the Windows operating system. Nokia Expert Centre has also been a great help, assisting us on the Lotus Notes email support and other business solutions, making the switch easy and painless.”
