    While we haven’t heard much from either the Nokia or Windows Phone camp in the past year, together these two companies shine in the Lumia 800. With Nokia’s hardware expertise running underneath Microsoft’s user friendly Windows Phone OS, the Lumia 800 shines and is a excellent handset to revive the Nokia brand. Read more

    Embattled Nokia has been doing it tough in recent years, but the Finnish giant hopes the will be the device that turns its fortunes around. It's the first Nokia smartphone to run the , and we also think it's the first smartphone that effectively competes with iPhone and Android rivals. The Nokia Lumia 800 may not be a better phone than some of its competitors, but it's certainly a viable option for any potential smartphone buyer. Read more

    • Fantastic design and build quality, Slick and easy to use software, Nokia Drive app
    • No memory card slot, Below average battery life, Limited apps compared to rivals

  1. "WP7 Nokia worth it"

    Nokia do make good phones and WP7 is a good OS. Recent updates have allowed WP7 phones to become 3g hotspots which is good when on the move and allos you to get wifi only tablets.. I do agree that 3.7inch is small compared to most new phones but it should serve the purpose for most people. Having the addition of a good map service for GPS is needed as there are not really any good GPS apps out. I think changeing from Andriod to WP7 would not be a difficult task. Read more

    • very good screen. OS is slick. Decent apps
    • BIgger screen would be nice but not essential.
