It was last year that Microsoft and Nokia launched their first Windows phone, the Nokia Lumia 800. This phone has the same design as Nokia’s first and only MeeGo phone, the N9. The phone’s screen is smaller than that of the N9, measuring 3.7″ only with a resolution of 800 x 480p. This is Nokia’s move to make the phone compliant with the Windows Phone spec list.
When it comes to the CPU of the phone, it is a different story, this phone comes with a 1.4 GHz Snapdragon/Scorpion MSM8255 processor. This made the operating system of the phone more snappy.
This phone was made to compete with HTC Radar and Titan, other Windows Phone Mango phones. When it comes to the phone’s screen, it’s definitely not as good as the two HTC phones. Last year, phones with larger screens are more favorable than those with smaller screens. This may not be an iPhone 4 phone, but it is capable of giving you sharper pixel density.
The phone comes with 16 GB of fixed internal storage. The actual dimensions of the phone are 116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1 mm and it weighs exactly 142 grams. It has that thin and light profile. If you take a look at the phone, you will notice how it is able to attract you with its smooth curves and prominent design. And when you hold this phone, it will always give you that perfect fit no matter what size your hand is. If you are used to having slim phones then this is a must have for you.
The phone’s 3.7″ AMOLED display is pushed to the sides of the phone’s chassis. Its curved polycarbonate shell will give you that premium feel. This is something even today’s high-end smartphones can’t give you. Nokia kept the phone’s unibody design.They used top mounted flaps to cover the phone’s charging port and SIM card slot.You can’t access the phone’s battery.You will also get a micro SIM in this phone.If your card Current SIM is not the same size (using a standard SIM card), you can always cut it down or request a resized SIM card from your network provider.
The Nokia Lumia 800 may look like Nokia’s first and only MeeGo phone, the N9, but this phone features a powerful processor and the new Windows Phone Mango for its operating system.
