NOKIA LUMIA 800
Window's Microsoft OS is fast becoming a competitor for Android IOS though its far from being equal.Everyone of us like to be everything to be in our fingertips but still there are drawbacks having to convert every video to watch is such a "Finger ache".But many will love the simplicity of Microsoft’s OS - simply flicking the finger left and right will jump between the informative Live Tiles and the list of downloaded applications. It’s apple-esque in its speed under the finger, and something newbies will warm to instantly.Nokia has added some of its own tricks in there too: Nokia Drive is the first free sat nav service to come bundled on any Windows Phone device, and while basic, does get you from A to B.

Nokia Lumia 800: Design
Using the design of the ill-fated Nokia N9, the Lumia 800 brings a curved polycarbonate chassis that’s coloured the whole way through, making it light in the hand and very hard to damage.
The curved nature of the chassis also lends a neat design aesthetic to the handset, marking it out well from the reams of sharp looking behemothic handsets on the market right now.

Nokia Lumia 800: Camera
The camera is similarly cool, as while it lacks the speed of the Xperia Arc S or the iPhone 4S, the snap quality is clear and vivid while the ability to quickly post to Facebook and tag your buddies is another tech-feather in the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango cap.
Windows Phone handsets have a big advantage over most rivals with prescribed camera button, and the chrome key on the Nokia Lumia is excellent - hold it down from anywhere in the phone (even under the lock screen) and you’ll be snapping away in seconds.

It’s a simple thing, but everyone loves taking pictures, and this makes it so much easier.
Nokia Lumia 800: Verdict
Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop called this the ‘first real Windows Phone’ and based on this performance, it’s hard not to agree - if you can stand the slightly smaller screen, that is.
Battery life isn’t stellar, and while we like the contrast ratios of the ClearBlack Display, it’s not the best on the market.

However, it’s going to be more than enough for those that pick up the Lumia as their first Windows Phone, and both Nokia and Microsoft will be pretty pleased with the first fruits of their partnership.
