Microsoft have asked us to find 10 Mumsnetters to test out Nokia Lumia 735, Xbox One Console with Kinect and a Linx tablet (total RRP ~£750).

Here’s what Microsoft’s marketing manager says, “As a marketing manager for Microsoft and mum of 2 boys, I know that things at home and at work can get pretty busy – especially this time of year with present buying, decorating the house, nativity play outfits, pantomimes……you know the rest :-). That is why we wanted to show you the collective power of some of these Microsoft products and how they can be used for the whole family. We would like to find families that can try out a Nokia Lumia phone, XBox One console and one of the new very affordable Linx tablets. All of these work together in a way that your family’s life can be fun and organised, productive and producing lots of laughs.”

This product test is open to UK Mumsnetters who have at least two children age between 5-15.

Testers will need to be available to attend an event in Victoria, London on Tuesday 16th December between 10-12:30 to learn how to get most out of all the products and how to use them together.

Testers will each receive:

  • Nokia Lumia 735
  • Xbox One Console with Kinect + 12 month Xbox Live subscription + Project Spark game
  • Linx tablet (7 will receive the 8" tablet and and 3 testers will receive the 10" tablet)


Testers will be required to add their feedback on the products on three separate feedback threads onsite. So long as you add feedback as required you will be able to keep the products.

If you’re interested in taking part, please sign up here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/3K29NVY

Thanks and good luck

I assumed they did want children there when I filledout the form. Just to clarify for MNHQ, I can bring all three of mine (6,10 and 13) that day if required.

I didn't read it as having to take the kids with you, but the kids need to be testing it

Well, unlikely many mumsnetters I am not technologically competent and do need to be shown a million times how to work new technology. However although my ONLY child is in the right age band, we live close to London AND I am prepared to take him out of state school unauthorised, I only have 1 child so fail the selection criteria :( Hope the winners all have fun)

I didn't realise we'd need to bring the children Confused. Mine are still at school then and on a school trip.

Mnhq one of the questions was if I had a micro sim and I said I didn't know. I've found out that yes I do. If it's not too late would you be able to change my answer on that? Thanks :)

Please can you pick soon? It's a busy time of year for people to keep a day clear. It's only a week away now.
(Plus, a fair few of us have trains to book, and the sooner the better)

I'm guessing Microsoft will choose who they want, so mnhq just pass us all on!
