The 6th winner of a Lumia 800 and PDP membership is Kunal Prime for the question Handle low storage space condition.

This question asks the best way to ensure that your application has enough storage memory to write it’s data – so that it can fail gracefully or ask the user to free up more space. For more information see the blog (Winner 6).

We’ll be sending Kunal his Lumia and PDP membership in the next few days! There are another two weeks for this promotion - and remember, you can also post your questions about NFC, 3D Printing or the Windows Phone Nokia Music API.

Winner 7 is Mehul Raje for the question Application update simulation. Mehul’s Lumia and PDP membership should be sent this week!

The problem was how to fully test application update scenarios prior to releasing the app on the store. A number of answers were given, with one of the best being the suggestion to use the Windows Phone Power Tools which allow you to test install, uninstall and update scenarios. For more information see the blog (Winner 7).

Winner 8 is AxelF for the question Bluetooth Pairing of Nokia Lumia 820 (WP8) with Microchip RN-42 fails. Axel's Lumia 800 and PDP membership should be sent this week!

The problem was about how to pair a Lumia 820 with RN-42 module using Bluetooth – when connecting the Lumia displays “connected” and then back to “not connected”. The community pointed to several examples showing successful pairing does work in in this case – it looks like the Bluetooth module is not working (it doesn’t stop blinking) but calling “ConnectAsync” allows the app to connect. For more information see the blog (Winner 8).
