| Nokia Lumia 800 |
Here are some final thoughts about the Lumia 800 but first we'll see the pros and cons.
Pros
- Sleek design, very usable in any scenarios.
- Good 8MP camera with Carl Ziess Optics
- Touch sensitive buttons for Menu and other operations
- Ability to multitask flawlessly
- 720p video capture
- Windows OS runs smoothly on the 1.4 GHz Snapdragon Processor from Qualcomm
- Device built is robust
- Excellent social Integration of Contacts from Facebook, twitter, Windows Live
- Share pictures instantly, also upload via Sky drive
- Marketplace and Xbox Live support for Paid apps and games is on the spot.
- Nice backup and transfer feature via Zune
- Passable battery life for moderate users.
- Landscape position on tilting the device on both sides.
Cons
- No Memory Card Slot
- Size of screen might not appeal to some (3.7 inches)
- Lack of Mass Memory Storage Feature
- No Front Camera
- Internal storage of 16GB, no 64 GB like Nokia N9
- Micro USB slot cover feels flimsy, chances of breaking
- The Nokia etched Metal clip on back gets scratched easily
- Micro Sim required for Network Operation
Other Cons basically due to the OS environment
- Lack of free apps and games on Marketplace
- No Bluetooth Transfer
- Music and Videos have to be synced via Zune Software for transfer to the Device
Hmm, looks like there are many cons regarding Zune, marketplace, Bluetooth file transfer etc but no, its just because Windows is a closed environment unlike Android and partly, Symbian users are not accustomed to . The Lumia device operations will draw comparisons to Apple IPhone system of iTunes and its limitations, but this is a step ahead for Nokia as it evolves away from the Symbian platform. This looks very promising and the Finnish Giant can capitalize on it.
If you're the Nokia Fan-boy or any users who wants something different than the usual Android OS and IPhone, the Nokia Lumia 800 is a worthy buy. The Lumia device has a standard of it own.
