The Nokia Lumia 800 is the first joint project of Microsoft and Nokia.
It was last year when Microsoft and Nokia released their very first Windows phone the Nokia Lumia 800. This handset bears the same design as Nokia's first and only MeeGo Phone the N9. The phone's screen is smaller than the N9, it is at 3.7" only with a resolution of 800 x 480p. This is Nokia's step for the handset to conform to Windows Phone specification list.
When it comes to the phone's CPU it is a different story, this handset ships with a 1.4GHz MSM8255 Snapdragon/Scorpion processor. This made the phone's operating system snappier.
This handset was made to compete with the HTC Radar and Titan, fellow Windows Phone Mango handsets. When it comes to the phone's screen, this is definitely not as good as the two HTC handsets. Last year, handsets with bigger screens are more favorable than ones with smaller screens. This may not be an iPhone 4 handset but it is capable of giving you a sharper pixel density.
The phone comes in with 16GB worth of fixed internal storage. The phone's actual dimensions are 116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1mm and weighs in exactly at 142 grams. It boasts that slim and lightweight profile. If you look at the phone, you will notice how it is capable of drawing you in with its smooth curves and prominent design. And when you hold this handset, it will always give you that perfect fit regardless of the size of your hand. If you are used to holding slim handsets, then this is a must have for you.
The phone's 3.7" AMOLED screen is pushed to the sides of the phone's chassis. Its curved polycarbonate shell will give you that premium feeling. This is something that not even high-end smartphones of today can give you. Nokia maintained the phone's unibody design. They used top-mounted flaps to cover up the phone's charging port and SIM card slot. The phone's battery is inaccessible. You will also get a micro SIM on this handset. If your current SIM card is not the same size (using standard SIM card), then you can always crop it down or request a re-sized SIM from your network provider. Or you can always get a SIM card adaptor for this.
The Nokia Lumia 800 may bear resemblance to Nokia's first and only MeeGo handset the N9, but this handset features a powerful processor and new Windows Phone Mango for its operating system.
