Let's cut to the point
The Nokia Lumia 800 is arguably the best Nokia smartphone we've ever seen. It features the same amazing design as the Nokia N9
With a uni-body design that matches the Apple iPhone 4S for design and quality – and it also features a stunning bright
Colourful and sharp screen. The 3.7-inch display gets Nokia's CBD (ClearBlack Display) technology to boost colour reproduction

It's not all good
However. The biggest problem with the Nokia Lumia 800 is the lack of applications for the Windows Phone operating system. It's getting better all the time
Granted
But it's still not a patch on Android or iOS.
No memory expansion
No Flash support.
Average battery life
Media still a pain to transfer
Port flaps won't last
No front facing camera
No nfc
No replaceable battery
Glossy screen attracts fingerprints.
