The Lumia 830 will ship with the latest Windows update, called Denim, offering some new features such as making folders on the home screen, as well as bringing Cortana in beta for the UK and public alpha for Australia.

At 8.5mm thick, the 830 feels solid without being overly heavy. The metal edge gives it a very nice premium look.

The screen is 720p, but the IPS panel means it's still bright and very easy to read, even outdoors.

Green, orange, black and white -- Microsoft want to ensure you can make a 'statement', if you feel so inclined.
