My colleague Stefan Romiti has recently taken possession of his new HTC Windows 8 phone and we thought we’d test some of the speeds of the Telstra 4G Network from the office. Pretty awesome..

Off topic, I would like to add that I am really pleased by how attractive the handset is, despite my initial reservations about the recent trend of bigger being better.
Additionally, Windows 8 Phone has received some effective GUI refinements, making it look, feel and work very well. A mature product.
