This is an attractive option if you're a fan of Windows Phone and great design. It's far from perfect, though, and Nokia's best is yet to come.

So it’s a solid phone, and an exemplar of how Windows Phone OS is supposed to look and act. Unfortunately, the Lumia 800 may be a “too little, too late” player in the fast-paced smartphone game.

It's a phone that will evoke fond memories, a phone that makes using your phone fun, and a phone that you will be keen to show off...
Read the full review →Nokia has delivered some personalisation features for both professional and personal users, and the reuse of the N9 chassis design is a good move. The result is a solid smartphone that may help to increase the appeal of Windows Phone.
Read the full review →A brilliant camera and compelling design, paired with a usable and clever platform, add up to a handset that’s straightforward enough for first-time smartphone users but still has enough appeal for those more familiar with advanced phones.
Read the full review →Is the Lumia 800 worth the purchase? Yes, especially for new (or potential) consumers, since the handset packs some impressive features and is powered by Windows Phone Mango. The design is slick, the feel is soft and the experience is impressive.
Read the full review →Quote: I suppose the bottom line is that this is not Nokia's "A" game....While the Lumia 800 isn't the best at photos, nor the best at value-added software, nor the best at speed, big screens, or battery life (relative to the secondnd generation Windows Phones)…I believe it is the best in design.

The Lumia 800 is, in my opinion, one of the best smartphones out there. Everything from the design to the software, its just beautiful. The camera could be better and would have been good if it had a front facing camera but otherwise, its great. Coming from a history of 2 iPhones (original and...

I love this phone. If it had a slightly larger screen (while remaining the same size overall) and had a better camera and didn't have a pentile screen, I'd give it a 10/10 (even though no device is ever perfect, that'd be close enough for a 10/10 for me.) As it stands, it deserves an awesome 9/10.

I think the Lumia 800 is the best device i have owned this far. My previous phone was a HP Pre 3, which lacked almost everything a modern smartphone needs; Good battery life, good camera, apps, and durability. It had none of these. the Lumia is the most interesting of any smartphones currently...

Great phone with one issue - battery life. It dies in 4-5 hours of active use and barely lives till the end of the day on general everyday use. Sometimes it can die overnight if not put on charger.
