Top 10 most read: Lumia 625 review, Dropbox open to hackers, SkyDrive storage triples

Hottest stories on V3 last week

Readers were keen to read our thoughts on Nokia's latest attempt to reposition itself in the smartphone market and boost Windows Phone sales all at once with the release of the Lumia 625. We liked its big screen and interchangeable covers, but were less impressed with its low-resolution screen, low memory and restricted selection of Nokia apps.

Cloud storage services were also a hot topic last week. Microsoft upped the amount of storage on offer for Office 365 business subscribers from 7GB to 25GB, while administrators can now boost storage to 50GB or 100GB for users whenever necessary. But on the downside for online storage, security researchers at Openwall published a paper detailing how two-factor authentication on the popular Dropbox service can be bypassed.

Elsewhere, Vodafone and O2 finally added some competition to the 4G market with the launch of their high-speed mobile services, while O2 also put the new 4G Nexus 7 up for preorder.
