Today, Nokia unveiled its first Windows Phone handsets, the Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710.

Nokia Lumia 800
Calling it the "first real Windows Phone," Nokia said it designed the Lumia 800 from the inside out and features a durable polycarbonate plastic body with a curved 3.7-inch ClearBack AMOLED (480x800 pixels) touch screen. It's powered by a 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 processor and has 16GB of internal memory. Users will also be given 25GB of free storage through Microsoft's cloud-based SkyDrive service........

It looks like an N9. 1.4Ghz is NICE! But its an S2 Snapdragon chip, not S3

Nothing more than a step down from the N9.

The N9 is a MeeGo communicator device. The Lumia 800 is a WP smartphone.

What were you expecting?

Totally love the design. It's brilliant, really. You guys should check out the hands-on video, the interface feels much smoother than any Android phone. And it's very fast and responsive (literally faster than any Android phone, in terms of user interface interaction), despite its half a gig RAM.

Excellent integration of Nokia's brilliant industrial design with Windows Phone OS. If it will be anywhere near 27k, I'll definitely recommend it to any average user out there.

Although, I agree, on the hardware side, it lacks a lot. But, in the end it's the output, i.e. the software that matters.

Well done, Nokia.

Dont know how would the 1450mah fair against this 1.4ghz device

 

[sujoyp]

Yup liked the design of N9 and 800....started liking meego more after seeing the demo...but its the last meego sooo

Lumina 800 and 710 are great...if priced nicely then it will be a hit

Nokia is going down for past couple of years. Hopefully these release will stabilize their ship.

Of course. It uses Windows Phone 7. It isn't customized like Android is to give each handset UI a different look and feel. It isn't MeeGo either which gave the N9 a distinct and innovative environment.

I guess he's talking about metro UI.

Yup!! The design looks nice!!

 

[NainO]

Specs are just fine, it's the best available with a Windows Phone. More importantly, design is AWESOME!!!

@sukesh1090
