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.

The Nokia Lumia 800 has a singular design, a stunning display, and a nice driving console in Nokia Drive
Camera and video quality on the Lumia 800 is poor, despite the fancy specs. A front-facing camera would make the phone more competitive. The Micro-SIM slot is hard to access
The unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 has an innovative design and gorgeous screen, but the poor camera quality and lack of a front-facing camera are major detractions.
