Nokia Lumia 800 - pictures




Nokia Lumia 800

   The first and most important smartphone announced by Nokia with Windows Phone Mango is the Lumia 800. This has a design just like the N9 but does not have the MeeGo operating system of course. However this is looking very nice, stylish and elegant.
   Most important technical specification are:


-- DISPLAY: 3.7-inch AMOLED capacitive multi-touch 480 x 800 pixels, gorilla glass, ClearBlack curved screen.
-- CPU:  Qualcomm Snapdragon Scorpion 1.4 GHz dual-core processor.
-- GPU:  Adreno 205
-- MEMORY:  512 GB RAM.
-- STORAGE:  16 GB for internal.
-- CAMERA:  Primary - 8MP auto-focus dual-led flash camera, video recording up to 720p.
-- CONNECTIVITY:  3G, HSDPA, HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, micro-USB port, 3.5 mm headphone jack, A-GPS.
-- SENSORS:  Proximity, Accelerometer, Magnetometer, Digital Compass.
-- BATTERY:  Li-Po 1450 mAh
-- MULTIMEDIA:  touch sensitive buttons.
-- OS:  Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.
-- APPLICATIONS:  Nokia Maps, social networking, Internet Explorer 9, Bing. 

   Lumia 800 has a unibody case, micro-sim (just like the N9) but no micro-SD card (the same as the Lumia 710). I do not understand why Nokia did not consider important to offer card storage option. Still the SkyDrive from Microsoft offers 25 GB of free online storage. Also we should not forget the Nokia Maps which is the best free GPS navigation I have seen so far. Nokia has a big plus on that one. Lumia 800 will be in stores starting with this month at a price around 420 EUR.

Nokia Lumia 710

   Nokia has finally announced about a week ago, in London at Nokia World event, their first Windows Phone 7 devices. There were rumors, waiting, hopes and are here now. One of the Windows smartphones is the Lumia 710  which appears to be designed for instant social and image sharing. The phone has Internet Explorer 9 integrated for a great web browsing experience.
   Most important technical details are:

-- DISPLAY: 3.7-inch TFT capacitive multi-touch 480 x 800 pixels, gorilla glass, ClearBlack screen.
-- CPU:  Qualcomm Snapdragon Scorpion 1.4 GHz dual-core processor.
-- GPU:  Adreno 205
-- MEMORY:  512 GB RAM.
-- STORAGE:  8 GB for internal.
-- CAMERA:  Primary - 5MP auto-focus led flash camera, video recording up to 720p.
-- CONNECTIVITY:  3G, HSDPA, HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, micro-USB port, 3.5 mm headphone jack, A-GPS.
-- SENSORS:  Proximity, Ambient Light Sensor, G-Sensor, Digital Compass.
-- BATTERY:  Li-Po 1300 mAh
-- MULTIMEDIA:  touch sensitive buttons.
-- OS:  Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.
-- APPLICATIONS:  Nokia Maps, social networking, Internet Explorer 9, Bing. 

   Being a Windows Phone 7, the Lumia 710 arrives with Microsoft Office suite but does not have a serious customized user interface as some people may have expected. I also believed that the partnership with Microsoft will allow Nokia to design their own UI just like HTC made with Sense for Android and others. For now this is just a Nokia phone with Windows. The start-up screen can be modified and the back covers are interchangeable in different colors. The price for this phone will start around 270 EUR and will be in stores staring with this month.
