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

The editors didn't like
Lack of apps compared to Android and Apple
Disappointing camera and non-expandable memory

No Flash support
Few third-part apps
No wireless streaming
Mediocre screen and camera quality
Disappointing snapper
Windows apps are way behind the choices available for iOS and Android users
Nokia Maps still not functional
Internet text display dodgy at times
No Flash video

Mix Radio downloads unavailable
Camera is pretty average
No microSD card slot
Lacks a front-facing camera
Not as many apps as Android or iPhone
No Adobe Flash support
No micro-SD card slot
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.
No frontfacing camera
Memory can't be extended
MarketPlace has fewer apps than Apple and Android equivalents

Attractive unibody design; fast browser; good social networking integration; well-designed virtual keyboard; lots of free and handy apps like Drive.
Multitasking limited to just five apps; shoots average quality photos; video recording limited to 720p; autofocus struggles for video recordinbg; no front facing camera.
