Nokia Lumia 800 Review

There's a lot more hype surrounding the Lumia 800 than the HTC and Samsung Windows Mango phones – probably because the Lumia was supposed to be Nokia's great ‘comeback'. Nokia has played its cards carefully with the Lumia, and the company supposedly worked very closely with Microsoft to bring the full Windows Mango experience to users. 
The Lumia 800 isn't perfect, but its one of the best products that Nokia has released in the market in recent months. 

Review :

Lumia Looks:The Lumia 800 is available in three colours – Black, Fuschia and Cyan. While the Black unit looks a lot more professional, the Fushcia and Cyan units are younger and more playful.

 The 3.7-inch glass display has a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass which makes it scratch-resistant, and Nokia has sucked all the air out between the display and the body, so there's no gap between the screen and the side.

Display & Interface : The 480x800 pixel AMOLED display is stunning.there's no front-facing camera on the phone.

The capacitive screen was smooth to the touch, and supports pinch to zoom and double tap, working just fine for the browser and photos.The keyboard of lumia is a beauty. The keys are well spaced out and typing is fairly accurate.

Apps: The app is neatly divided into categories and sub-categories, and the audio quality is pretty clear too.

Nokia Contact transfer app imports all contacts from another phone over Bluetooth which is very simple & convenient.

Another Nokia-specific app is Nokia Drive, a turn-by-turn voice navigation system. Unlike Nokia Maps which uses your data plan to update the maps as you go,with Nokia Drive, you first download a map of the area you're going to be driving around. Once that's done you can simply input your final destination, and you'll get a voice guided navigation system that could beat some of the better car sat-navs out there. Maps are displayed in 2D and 3D which are accurate and easy to use.

Another addition is Tune-in Radio, a great little app that utilises your Wi-Fi or data connection to stream live content from a bunch of global radio stations.

Mix Radio, another popular radio service will be available on Lumia smart phones in India in the next couple of months, Nokia said.

Performance: Lumia's processor is relatively subdued – you get a 1.4 Ghz Qualcomm MSM 8255 single-core processor and just 512MB of RAM. The good news is that these tech specs seem to do just fine for Windows Mango. The phone rarely froze or slowed down,

The 1450 mAH battery gave average results like a day of use, but on most of the time it works for quite long time. Of course, this was with heavy data usage, a few hours of calls and apps in the background.

Awesome : Beautiful build, great screen, Nokia Drive

Bad : No NFC, no front camera, average battery life

Price: $ 559.89
