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...

      iOS is boring. I have an Iphone 4 and everything is controlled by apple. You cant process a single photo, without itunes, bluetooth doesent work with other phones, iphone glass is scratchable, lumia has corning gorrila glass, iphone 3.5 display, nokia 3.7 display, nokia battery lasts longer than iphones and other many things.... and one thing...Nokia Lumia 800 is new and fresh. I bet that if my friends with other smartphones saw me with nokia lumia 800 they shall be very jelaous.... Love you Nokia

        I currently have this phone and its the best WP7 device by far, to put the battery life disputes to rest, after the latest update it is optimised to run better, games and web browsing kill the battery quite quick, but using bluetooth, WiFi and music the battery life is awesome... The nokia drive is brilliant and the zune software is something i prefer to iTunes in terms of looks and ease of use, the xbox companion app is brilliant being able to use your phone as a remote :)

              Please dont buy nokia lumia 800 phone. It is having all the problems. I purchased a month back and the mobile was in nokia care service center over 15 days.

                it is indeed a new beginning for nokia, WP7 is one good OS compared to android and IOS (i myself is an android user)

                Though there's few disappointments here and there, i still found it to be the next best thing after so many years using an android phone.

                Simple yet functions so well thus shows WP7 does not always need a high end spec phone, single core can already showed the fluidity of metro UI, far better than my android mind you...

                  Bought this phone for several months, uses it. Coolest phone that I've ever touched, has extra capabilities like system-default battery saver and more. But needs a lot of improvement regarding battery life and Internet Explorer.

                          Did you guys turn off the automatic adjust setting in the brightness menu and the auto display intensity in the extra settings menu when you compared the screen brightness with that of the N9? Because WP7 phones auto dim when most of the screen is lit.

                              great phone design, screen (better than iphone 4S, just view Home on it and compare), so easy to use, WP7,5 is better than Android, any doubts, TRY it! it does not have cheap plastics like Samsung, great phone, great OS.

                                        COULD YOU DO THE AUDIO QUALITY TESTING AGAIN, WITH THE NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE!!

                                        I'M REFERRING TO THIS: "Nokia has been investigating the comments made by our Discussions members in this thread, and we can now advise that some audio improvements have already been made in software version 1600.2479.7740.11451 for the Lumia 800."
