Ive had a fair bit of bother with technology in my lifetime but this phone has had so many problems, ive lost count, to sum it up, its awful. im counting down the minutes till i can get rid of it & i can safely say when i get a new phone, i will smash this one to bits if it hasn't already done it itself. It doesn't update, cant play music, the app store is awful, you have to pay for almost everything,it struggles to charge, its corrupted so many times, burnt out 2 sim cards, has a mind of its own at times. Can't think of any positives because even the camera is awful, everything looks blurry and dull.

The Nokia Lumia 800 is a great phone. It runs very quickly and smoothly. It has a great design and good screen. The battery also lasts for a good length of time. The only down side to the phone is the operating system. Windows Phone 7/7.8 is a good operation system that runs very smooth and has a good amount of feature but if you want a phone for gaming it may not be best and it does not have as many games available as Android has. Also it does not have many free apps. But despite that I would recommend this phone, Nokia and the operating system to anyone. Would have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t the lack of apps issue with windows 7

I was sceptical about this phone at first .... iPhones are so numerous! I shouldn't have been worried. The phone is indeed 'smart' and easy to use .... interfaces with email well. Fast reliable and well made. I just love the design. Cant wait to upgrade to the 920!

The Nokia Lumia 800 is the first phone that has been released by the collaboration of Nokia and Windows. I am a fan of Nokia phones and had heard a lot about the Windows phone system from xbox live marketing, and i was pleasantly surprised with how well this phone works! The OS is simple and easy to use but looks really nice, using big blocks of colour to make it stand out. The integration of Xbox live has added some really fun and clever games to the system, however there are not as many to choose from compared to Apple and Android marketplace, but in time there will be more added and it will be able to contend with the competitors. The phone itself is a nice candy bar design with a AMOLED capacitive touchscreen which has a 480 x 800 pixels resolution and is 3.7 inches big. which works very nicely and feels just right for this sort of phone. The CPU is 1.4 GHz Scorpion which makes this phone really smooth and fast and has virtually no lag with day to day use. The camera is 8 MP with Carl Zeiss optics which make it a rather nice camera, you wont be making professional looking photographs but it is still a very nice picture taken with this camera. So over all a good phone that runs smoothly but lacking a little bit with the apps you can get but the future looks bright for this series of phone. Pros: +Windows OS is slick and easy to use +camera is good quality +Phone runs very fast and has little lag +Linked to Xbox Live so a nice selection of good games +Nice design Cons: -Not enough Apps compared to competitors -screen can be broken easily if dropped

As a business phone, the Nokia Lumia is rubbish. It was purchased on the strength of the previous Windows mobile software which used MS ActiveSync. I cannot believe that Microsoft Windows Phone 7 can no longer synchronise with Microsoft Outlook. As a pretty toy that allows Microsoft to access and control your communications it's probably pretty cool. Mine sits in it's box in the cupboard and I continue to use my old HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 professional

Awesome design - looks so sleek. Screen is robust. Performance and interface are really good. If you're looking for a first smartphone or a mid-range Windows phone, the Lumia 800 strikes the perfect balance. Both Nokia and Microsoft will be pretty pleased with the first fruits of their partnership.

just try and you will newer want to leave it!!! only downside if You surf online and play games a lot is a battery capabilities... other vise last a lot. very easy to use. A Lot of apps to chose from FREE!!! phone itself is the fastest responding phone I have ever touched!!! Camera - Great!!! satnav - does the job perfectly! just try... and You will love it!!!
