Nokia Lumia 800
It’s an exciting time for the new Nokia/Windows partnership. The past few months have been all doom and gloom since the decline of each company’s respective market share. Combining their efforts took many by surprise, but if future collaborations prove to be as exciting as the Lumia, then it could make for the comeback of the decade.
The first of their combined smartphone line, the Lumia, was released this month to much fanfare. While the 710 also makes for a fantastic handset, the main focus has to be on the Lumia 800, the more sophisticated model. Both run a 1.4GHz processor, and support HD video playback.
The 800 supports a pretty darn spiffy 3.7 inch AMOLED display; running a 800×480 resolution to generate an overall highly impressive display – sure to be one of the phone’s most talked-about features. The handset’s smooth yet sturdy casing is made of polycarbonate; similar in look to the HTC Legend or one of Nokia’s own earlier efforts, the N8.
The Lumia 800 runs the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system; a system already familiar to some, though the addition of the Nokia Maps app makes for a refreshing change to Bing’s previous efforts.
Previous incarnations of Nokia phones have come under fire for their poor touchscreen capabilities; the Lumia seems to have dispatched any new fears with ease, as we found scrolling through menus and screens to be a breeze; even the onscreen keyboard was a joy.
