Your first step is to go to the Account page and click the “Cancel My Account” button. If you’re on AT&T, you can log into your account online and follow the steps to delete your account. But if you find yourself using e-mail less and less, it may be time to delete your account. I'd also love to be able to see how much battery percentage I have left without having to delve into the depths of the settings screen.A Windows 8 phone is a great device for keeping in touch with friends and family. It's all well laid-out and clearly labelled, though I wish certain options were more easily accessible, such as toggles for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. From here you can change ringtones and other sounds, alter the start screen theme, set up Wi-Fi networks and more.

You'll find the settings screen in here (though like everything else it can be pinned to the start screen for easy access if you'd prefer). Long-pressing an app on this screen lets you pin it to the start screen or delete it. Swiping left from the start screen brings up a list of all your apps in alphabetical order – and again you scroll vertically up and down through these. It's a great way of saving space and very useful for lumping similar apps, like games or email, together. Once updated, you can download the App Folder app from the Windows Store and use it to create folders that can then be pinned to the Start screen like any other tile. While it's only 480 x 800, the display also has a good enough resolution to prevent tiles and menus becoming a blur. Swiping around the various screens is smooth and responsive, while the 4-inch display is plenty big enough to do most things comfortably. Operating the Nokia Lumia 520 is a fairly painless experience. Anyone tired of the constant black, white or silver options on other handsets will enjoy carrying a bit of colour around with them. Nokia has really given its Lumia phones a personality – thanks to the bright colours and interchangeable backs. It's simple stuff, but combining contacts and social network feeds is something that no other phone OS does quite as well as Windows Phone 8, and I'm a big fan. Swiping to the left brings you to a 'what's new' screen, which combines the likes of Twitter and Facebook into a single feed, giving you an overview of recent happenings without having to use a separate app. Swiping right from a contacts page will take you to a 'history' screen, which keeps a record of communications between the two of you as well as their recent posts and updates on social networks. You can then just tap on a phone number or email to call or message them, and it's easy to add new details to a contact at any time by tapping the edit icon at the bottom of the screen.
