The Nokia Lumia 800 is the first Windows Phone handset to spring from the Microsoft /Nokia
It shares its exterior styling with the previously substantially less hyped Nokia N9, a Meego-based smartphone, although the screen size is reduced from 3.9″ (854×480 pixels) to 3.7″ (800×480 pixels) to conform to the Windows Phone spec list.
The CPU was increases from the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 to the 1.4GHz MSM8255 Snapdragon/Scorpion which certainly helps add snap to the Windows Phone Mango OS.
The Nokia Lumia 800 shares the Nokia N9‘s 16-bit AMOLED ClearBlack display whereas the Nokia Lumia 710 sports a 24-bit ClearBlack TFT.
When you compare screen size you find the Nokia Lumia 800 is a little small with the HTC Radar and HTC Titan entering the fray with 3.8″ and 4.7″ screens respectively although all competitors are limited to the same 800×480 pixel resolution.
With its large 3.7-inch OLED screen pushed to the sides of the chassis and a cool curved polycarbonate shell gives the phone a very premium feel indeed.

Nokia has worked very hard on the unibody design, making the battery inaccessible and using top-mounted flaps to cover the charging port and SIM slot – intriguingl. The phone uses a microSIM.
The Nokia Lumia 800 and HTC Titan are equal with 16GB of fixed internal storage, with the Nokia Lumia 710 and HTC Radar weighing in with 8GB a piece.
Nokia Lumia 800 is intended to compete against the HTC Titan and the Nokia Lumia 710 with the HTC Radar.
The physical appearance of the Nokia Lumia 800 is a dream to observe and handle, with its smooth curves fitting snugly to the hand both with and without the protective case provided in the purchase packaging.
