Nokia Lumia 800

It is called that only on their website. Their phone shows just Microsoft Office (as also shown on the pics in their site). I think the idea is to have one Microsoft Office irrespective of where you access it from.

Would like to share that I got hands on Nokia Lumia 800 (black) today at Nokia priority store. It was unboxed today itself as told by the representative and I was playing around with it for almost 15 mins. UI is fluid, fast along with pretty solid built and decent camera. Felt like impressive package. Checked and went through almost every part of UI. The unibody material is very handy to hold and damn cool at looks. Closed nature of OS and less customizations are only strong let downs as I feel now, as couldn't find flaws I was expecting there to be like sluggish while heavy use, dim display, low ringing volume etc (contrary to some reviews).They have kept mum about price though the representative expected it to be around 26K (contrary to the 30K as claimed by some sources). When I told him about price rumors on internet, he pointed out to MRP on box which was 29990 INR so expect the actual best buy price 3-5 K lesser than it. If this is true, then Nokia will recapture the high end smartphone market (Indian) for sure. And the phone was made it in Vietnam, irrelevant point but first Nokia i saw which is made there.

I think the first thing this phone will do on connecting it to ur Machine is - Check whether ur OS is genuine. U will be able to connect to PC, only if its genuine. Making a guess, but MS is very much capable of doing that......whats the reality though?

^ It doesn't matter. Or I really don't know. I have an ahem genuine copy of Windows and Zune installed without any hassle. I also didn't have any issues upgrading to Mango on connecting the phone to Zune

If Nokia thinks that it can sell a windows mobile phone for 26K in India and recapture smartphone marketshare... = "If Wishes were Horses, Beggars would Ride"

@ Agantuk....Hehe, despite of u having original, they wud still suspect u until u prove otherwise. Its Mens Rea for them by default! U forgot what happened with Sushubh?

 

[agantuk]

^ Haha, but then that's why I said I have a 'ahem' genuine

why this negativity against Motorola? They have some decent mid-range android phones these days. P.S. I own a Fire XT which is costs less than the Ace and yet looks sleek and beats it in every department
