Still working fine after 6 YEARS!!!!! And that was my first phone when i was 16 year old.......seriously when i compare it with my note 8, the screen on lumia 800 still looks competitive
The reviewer has become more calm and he generally talks in a more fluent manner, still sounds he has a prepared speech sometimes, I still appreciate the effort.
I have it for a few months, no audio problems whatsoever, battery is decent enough for a smart phone with this hardware (lasts a day easily). Call quality is clear and good. In regards to apps it's a personal issue, I for instance have all the apps I need and want. If you had all those issues you probably should have contacted customer support.
I am a teenager. I've used a Samsung Tocco lite for the past three years... Pretty sure limitations wouldn't phase me too much, considering the huge leap up from such an old piece of hardware to a proper smart phone with a Windows OS.
Excellent, professional grade review. Without saying anything biased or directly negative you informed me of weak points and highlighted important features. Sub'bed.
I want this phone but my only concern is when the windows 8 phone comes out will this mean people with windows 7 phones be left behind with a handset that is outdated and unable to upgrade to windows 8?
Oi Basil, it's quite annoying flicking the screen around frequently m8.. epilepsy comes to mind, other than that, a grand review. I'll be buying one in the new year ;-)
Like both phones N9 & Lumia 800. The N9 does not have radio but has 2nd camera up front. Whereas Lumia has radio but no 2nd camera...still both phones are great in their own right...which one to buy?
Good vid. Right now i got a 2 year old IPhone 3GS but im bored off IOS so i consider buying Lumia 800. I overall like the Lumia 800 first of all because of the OS Windows phone 7. But is it worth buying or should i wait for iPhone 5? Thank you for helping
If I buy now Lumia 800 or 900 will be available apps for win 7.5 or only for windows 8. I`m wondering whether is good to buy it at the moment because 820 and 920 are already on the market??? Advises ???
Hi. I'm really interested to get this phone. Currently I'm using the galaxy tab 7.7, but finding it a chore to bring it around or out of my bag. Wanna get a second phone that will mainly be use for music & a lil social media (FB, twitter. 4square,etc). Will this phone be able to survive a whole day of use? I dont mind charging it every night, but not twice a day. Have the updates solved the infamous battery issue?I had a real bad experience with my previous HTC Desire HD
so this phone has no Bluetooth phone to phone file transfer and has no SD card slot? am i right or wrong,,, because i want to buy this phone but slightly confused?
I have just got Nokia 800 Lumia and my biggest worry was the battery as I am using it for business and i amalways on the run out and about but it is just briliant and it took me 30 minutes to familiarise myself with it. The only disadvantage is when you creat a group of contacts you cant add more than 20 contacts per group which doesnt make sense to me???? any answer from NOKIA.
@FaisalElShamy Windows Phone or Android? This doesn't slow down in the long run, but rather continues to run smoothly as ever. The s3mini has android, so it's got lots of apps and games.
oh yeah?? tell me again how bluetooth file transfers work from that phone to any other phone. Also tell me how you "can't" use your phone as a data storage device when connected to a computer.
does windows mobile 7 have a lot of apps? I mean like the market or store. Because I really want to put windows mobile as one of the options for next time I want to change my phone, besides android and apple iOS. Thanks :) (pardon my english)
Does this still have the zune problem when you press the volume rocker, like it does on the HTC Radar. And what is the battery life like?, please message back ASAP! :)
I grew tired of android OS. Got a cyan lumia yesterday and I must say it is an amazing phone. Stylish and with everything that I need. No glitches like Android and the OS is not boring like the iphone. Finally a worthy windows phone!
Hello PhoneArena! Thank you very much for the nice review. I currently own a Nokia E7, and I'm quite happy with it. As far as the app development for Symbian, Im not too happy. I use Skype a lot on my PC, and the Symbian Skype app is completely rubbish (I cant even call people with it). Is Skype working well on the Lumia 800?
please somenone - how do I upload files from my PC to Lumia 800? I can't seem to find a way how to do this. I only have this Zune program - but it is completely useless, it only uploads videos, music and pictures.. how do I upload for instance PDF file, or how do I access my excel files located on the phone thru PC?
I was really willing to buy it..but then I found out it doesn't have a front camera for video call..what a shame. as for the rest..this phone is really impressing..and the operating system is so fast!
i just bought this phone, i manage to transfer the contacts all but i also want to transfer the old text sms from my old Nokia phones into this new Lumia 800.. Is it possible? Can you show me how? Thanks
i am really torn between the 620 and the 800 - could someone help me out? i prefer the physical look of the 800 but i am not sure whether it has windows phone 8. A reply wold be really appreciated!! :)
what about the battery life, of this lumia 800? i heard it works only 2 hrs on messages, calls & on some pictures & goes dead from morning to afternoon even in stand by is it true ? plz anyone ? i am so interested on buying it
Any idea's how to access the translator tool? i got shown how to take photos of foreign languages using the camera and it would translate it into English word by word over the top of the image, completely forgot how to do it and no online reviews cover it.
I have this phone and it is pretty amazing. The downside is that most of the fun android apps (i.e. temple run, better versions of facebook and twitter etc) haven't been developed for the device and if it has, you have to pay.
I've used HTC Desire, Samsung S2 but this is my favourite phone, soo user friendly, just the right size, looks cool, came with free case, fast internet, decent graphics. If you want a phone that does everything it does quickly, easily and not huge then it's close on perfect
Still working fine after 6 YEARS!!!!! And that was my first phone when i was 16 year old.......seriously when i compare it with my note 8, the screen on lumia 800 still looks competitive
Yeah, still working for me, too. this phone screen is just uncrashable))
@@efim_bistrov.yes me too
In the 1.5 years I owned this phone I never manged to break that flap at the top.

That is solid nokia goodness. Welcome back on the phone market for them. This will be very interesting to follow
You have a pleasant voice, my friend. Well rounded review. First good one on this phone I've seen.

If I buy now Lumia 800 or 900 will be available apps for win 7.5 or only for windows 8. I`m wondering whether is good to buy it at the moment because 820 and 920 are already on the market??? Advises ???
Which one Nokia Lumia 800 or Nokia 701 .. which is better for it's price ?
Should I get this phone? Windows Phone 8 just came out would it be stupid of me? And what about the apps. Does windows have an app store?
Hi there, I'm from the Philippines I got mine in Wellcom and it cost approximately 20,000 Pesos. It is worth it!

@PhoneArena is the phone as big as samsung galaxy S II?
@FaisalElShamy Windows Phone or Android? This doesn't slow down in the long run, but rather continues to run smoothly as ever. The s3mini has android, so it's got lots of apps and games.
how do i connect my nokia 800 to my computer to put music on it
i have a windows phone 7.5 and the second apps list is alphabetically organized! why this isn't?
This looks better in real life than it does in the pics and videos! I love this phone! The only complaint ill say is the battery life
oh yeah?? tell me again how bluetooth file transfers work from that phone to any other phone. Also tell me how you "can't" use your phone as a data storage device when connected to a computer.
Is the this one better in comparison with the samsung galaxy s 2?
Should i buy this instead of the 620?

In Croatia it's 500 euros, so I'm not sure where you got those figures, but I'm pretty sure it costs more than 250 euros, even in Finland
Does this still have the zune problem when you press the volume rocker, like it does on the HTC Radar. And what is the battery life like?, please message back ASAP! :)
Slightly silly question..... Is there/ can you download a google chrome app on this phone, despite it being a WINDOWS phone?
I grew tired of android OS. Got a cyan lumia yesterday and I must say it is an amazing phone. Stylish and with everything that I need. No glitches like Android and the OS is not boring like the iphone. Finally a worthy windows phone!
Can u upload videos to youtube from the videocamera on the nokia lumia 800?
can you show us how to make a phone call and text? No reviews do that anymore, the most basic functions.
when will it be released
What about the Internet sharing, does it have it or not, the review was awesome...
ive heard it does have flash support , which one is it?
you don't have to wait. on xda there are some custom roms with 7.8 rtm base.
and btw, 7.8 update does not "unlock" everything.
Hey, im very keen on this phone and need a new one quite soon (within days/weeks)...
is there still no plug and play?
Hello PhoneArena! Thank you very much for the nice review.
I currently own a Nokia E7, and I'm quite happy with it. As far as the app development for Symbian, Im not too happy.
I use Skype a lot on my PC, and the Symbian Skype app is completely rubbish (I cant even call people with it). Is Skype working well on the Lumia 800?
I got this phone and im trying to get music over to it but i don't know how to and i don't have the mix radio
??? :/
I do.. It's fast, responsive and easy to use. There aren't as any apps for it but as a phone it is stylish and looks great.
how long does the phone last until its starts to run bad?
how often are the nokia maps updated?
Stuck between this and iphone 4, but got ipod touch 4 8gb... any need?
Should i buy this even if i dont use XBOX or XBOX Live ?
why does it switch on some times even tho its in the charger??
Can you listen to your normal music you have downloaded from iTunes or is the only option zoon
I have an HTC Sensation XE and this is the only non-android phone I would ever buy. Nokia did an amazing job on this!
why arent the nokia lumia 800 or the nokia n9 in Canada?
from this mobile can bluetooth or no
@Raztamoket Have you already tried windows on your computer?
please somenone - how do I upload files from my PC to Lumia 800? I can't seem to find a way how to do this. I only have this Zune program - but it is completely useless, it only uploads videos, music and pictures.. how do I upload for instance PDF file, or how do I access my excel files located on the phone thru PC?
So with Nokia music u cant use it like an ipod? like import ur songs and listen to what you want?
What this phone like for listening to your own music (like an iPod) as if its good I will sell my iPod touch if I get this? Any answers appreciated.
I was really willing to buy it..but then I found out it doesn't have a front camera for video call..what a shame. as for the rest..this phone is really impressing..and the operating system is so fast!
Same old Windows OS :( But Great Phone from NOKIA :)
does it support flash 10?
i just bought this phone, i manage to transfer the contacts all but i also want to transfer the old text sms from my old Nokia phones into this new Lumia 800.. Is it possible? Can you show me how?
Thanks
Now Im confused if I should go for this or the N9
how long the lifespan of the battery ?
This is very nice phone. 2 weeks of use and Im pleased. Best Nokia phone ever.
i am really torn between the 620 and the 800 - could someone help me out? i prefer the physical look of the 800 but i am not sure whether it has windows phone 8. A reply wold be really appreciated!! :)

Any idea's how to access the translator tool? i got shown how to take photos of foreign languages using the camera and it would translate it into English word by word over the top of the image, completely forgot how to do it and no online reviews cover it.
but will it blend?
is this only available in the uk?

@MrSuurijohtaja lumia, meego which is better?
is it applicable in the philippines?
Does this phone require a micro sim card?
Does gmail work with this phone? I've been reading about Gmail VS windows phone issues
They can't put the 8 to the Lumia because of hardware limitations. Would you like your Lumia to lag?
Really like what? cuz im buyin this in 10 days from now.. so tell me what is good and what is bad??
granddaddy of all Lumia devices
do you get RUclips on this phone?
I have this phone and it is pretty amazing. The downside is that most of the fun android apps (i.e. temple run, better versions of facebook and twitter etc) haven't been developed for the device and if it has, you have to pay.
Should I get black or white? Argh I can't decide
doesnt have secondary camera??
It's already available in the Philippines. Try WellCom or Nokia Stores. It's cool!
where's the battery life indicator?
@grahamtaschner and could you also tell why is that?
I've used HTC Desire, Samsung S2 but this is my favourite phone, soo user friendly, just the right size, looks cool, came with free case, fast internet, decent graphics. If you want a phone that does everything it does quickly, easily and not huge then it's close on perfect
