Nokia Lumia 800 review: New beginnings

2 December 2011
It will take crowds erupting in delight to silence the ring of the "burning platform" speech in the Nokia Lumia 800's ears. The speaker being Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and the burning platform Symbian...

      Nokia is going the backwards path. Meego and to a lesser extent, Symbian phones are like 20x better than this crap.

        Why would you pay $800 for a mediocre windows phone when you can get a comparably equipped samsung or htc for half price ?

          WP probably won't make it this round. It is still immature, with many limitations and -to me- it is awfully ugly. It has a long distance to cover if it wants to catch up even with Belle.
          The problem is, is Nokia in position to wait WP to mature? It's almost sure they will be the leaders among WP manufacturers sales wise, but will these figures be enough to keep them alive?

                  Why would you buy this when you can have mighty N9, this is like poor man's N9.

                  Nokia, just bring on N9 with qwerty, please!!!!!

                      I'm liking this phone and Windows Phone now. Used to hate it before. I used to think it's utter bs. But upon reading and watching video reviews, it seems to be a fantastic phone and operating system. But I will wait until the OS matures and Nokia releases a WP phone with awesome specs. And I think that people should also give Nokia and WP a chance and not write them off so easily. I'm pretty sure they have something great up their sleeves to come up soon.
