Earlier this week, we published our review of the Nokia Lumia 630, Microsoft"s new Windows Phone 8.1 device. We took an in-depth look at the handset and, in a nutshell, found that it was a rather nice device, especially given its low price tag.
We described it as "an affordable Windows Phone, but not a perfect one" - but let"s face it, nothing is perfect, and while there are some aspects of the Lumia 630 that could use improvement, it"s nonetheless a pretty nice piece of kit. It has a large display, decent performance, good battery life and, of course, it"s been designed around the latest Windows Phone 8.1 operating system, which is only just starting to roll out to other devices.
Now, one of you will get the chance to enjoy the device for yourselves! We"re giving away a Nokia Lumia 630, kindly provided by the lovely people at Microsoft UK.
Don"t worry though - you don"t have to be in the UK to enter. The contest is open to all of our readers around the world, and the best news is that there are plenty of ways for you to enter, and lots of ways for you to gain extra entries to increase your chances of winning!
