LG Optimus G review: Grand Slam
HTC One X+ review: The complete packageNokia Lumia 800 review: New beginnings
It will take crowds erupting in delight to silence the ring of the "burning platform" speech in the Nokia Lumia 800's ears. The speaker being Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and the burning platform Symbian...

Hmm.. too early to tell if its going to be goo, hey GSMarena? i say you would call it if it was a great phone. I really believe that. If it was awesome you usually say so, and you didnt say so about this one.
next!!

This phone will do well if Microsoft supports USB on the GO, NFC, a more open file management. till then its N8/N9 for me. If I wanted a good app support I would have preferred IOS or Android. The very reason most people go for Symbian or meego is the openness, good hardware integration with OS, battery life and the number of apps comes last. Nokia needs to realize that. Does anybody know if there is an NFC chip in there? Does it work with Nokia suite?

It's clearly evident that most here are delusional or unrealistic.
As a a long time symbian user, i realize symbian's time is up, yes they are improving it with anna/belle, but the general purchasing public isn't going to embrace any system that starts with the name "symbian" anymore.
Get over it, i did.
The n9, wish it had more support, but it doesn't, hopefully some of the things people like about the n9 will live on in apollo.
I see the 800 as a second choice to the iphone. As far as android is concerned, that's just a symbian clone with better icon's and a more catchy name. It's security and system management is a god damn mess, the real question is, are you operating an android phone or is it operating you?
Yes i own an android device and i just feel like it's a disorganized mess.
By the end of next year, adults will choose ios, then windows, after that it will be android for kids.

Just to Nokia phones with Symbian an there were the Best an Easiest to tranfer data between phones an pcs,an had the N8 over a year,then Nokia an Mr Elop made the Wrong Decision choosing Windows,as you are to Restricted with downloading,an Bluetooth useless with Windows.Lumia 800 to over Valued so it made me purchase the Samsung Galaxy S2 an its Worth much better Value,Memory cards an Bluetooth sending an recieving more usefull,Nokia sorry you have made the Wrong Decisions picking Mr Elop an Windows,all Mr Elop was bothered about is helping is old employees Microsoft gain some success in the Mobile Market an downgrade Nokia so then Microsoft will buy Nokia in the near future

wp7 is a waste. why put the windows badge on something that can't run .exe but has a 1ghz or better cpu ? running exes would be a great selling point.

> In reply to osooo @ 2011-12-03 17:35 from 4CVp - click to readIt seems that your happy with supposively gs2, why bother rant here. Meego is just like webOS beautiful by os itself but without ecosystem, its just a hw with sw for making calls, text, basic web browsing, and all the basic stuffs a smartphone can do, if thats what you want. But consider this ecosystem with music store-zune, cloud base storage - skydrive, xbox live system, a marketplace with decent apps and games, it makes your whole experience of a smatphone more justified,

There are way too many software limitations of the OS to make this phone interesting. It's ridiculous that the OS is missing out at such important things like real multitasking, USB mass storage function and DivX support. Except for that the whole WP approach is wrong, why force people to use Zune, why downscaling photos when one wants to e-mail them? And why is the OS closing running applications on its own without the user wanting to do so? As a Nokia user one also wonders what happend with the TV-out and FM-transmiter among other things? Sorry Nokia, but this phone is not satisfying. I would gladly had bought the N9 if it was given some support. But Lumia is not an interesting phone and at a price simmilar to Samsung Galaxy SII and Iphone 4S the Lumia 800 has exceptional chances to become the shelf-warmer of the year!

The touch is definitely good and display is far better than Super AMOLED. Windows 7 office integration, outlook, multiple email is very impresive. People function is the best. You can link all your accounts in Facebook, outlook, twitter, gmail, yahoo, Ovi, linked in to one single place and see updates and browse with out wasting your time.
