Nokia Lumia 800 Review
The Nokia Lumia 800 is the company’s first Windows Phone
device. This represents Nokia’s best attempt to compete with Droid
phones or the increasingly popular iPhone. With a smooth black finish
(also available in other colors), the phone’s shell is made of
polycarbonate plastic. This gives is a little bit different feel from
other smart phones. This represents one of the phone’s weaknesses as the
plastic side buttons are somewhat hard to use. They also seem rather
flimsy and breakable. One of the biggest letdowns of this phone is the
absence of a microSD card spot; you are getting the 16GB that the phone
comes with. The phone has a very high contrast and the display is great,
as Nokia has made use of AMOLED technology. Many will like the fact
that this phone is not as bright as the iPhone, though it produces a
comparably sharp image.
Under The Hood & Software
With the Windows technology, specifically Windows Phone
7.5, the Nokia Lumia 800 is a great phone for multitasking. This makes
it more comparable to the iPhone than the Droid phones, as one can
easily play music while web browsing. Internet Explorer is a particularly cool feature on this phone and
