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.

Small, nicely built, refreshing OS, built-in Microsoft apps, good cross-platform support
Video lacks detail, no Flash support, few third-part apps, no wireless streaming
In the end, this means we can no longer cut the Lumia 800 any slack for quirkiness. This Nokia, for all its qualities, is a curveball choice for a compact phone, and no more. See all our mobile phone reviewsFollow whathifi.com on TwitterJoin whathifi.com...

Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, Sharp 3.7inch touch screen, fast processor, 8MP camera with 720p HD video recording, Nokia Mix Radio, Nokia Drive satnav,
No expandable memory, no frontfacing camera, Windows Marketplace lags well behind rivals
The Nokia Lumia 800 is a hi-tech phone at the higher end of midrange prices, so it's a bit cheaper than the top Android handsets from Samsung and HTC. It won't blow the competition out of the water the way the iPhone has often done in the past, but it'...
I was nicely surprised by the Nokia Lumia 800 and Windows Phone 7. It didn't blow me away as hard as the Nokia N9 did but that doesn't mean my experience with the Lumia was any worse. In fact, it was equally great, but just… different. The Lumia with WP7...
Great hardware design; good camera; Nokia has made some neat additions to Windows Mobile,
No memory expansion; no Flash support.
It's hard not to like the Nokia Lumia 800 in terms of design, how far Microsoft has developed its operating system, and what Nokia adds to it. But there are downsides. You can't expand its storage with a microSD card, and there's no support for Flash -...

Nokia's Lumia 800 is a very good smartphone and very much deserves comparisons with the HTC Titan, which, despite having a better camera, is less stylish and offers fewer services. Nokia has taken a little while to change direction, but this new smartp...
