Nokia announces the Lumia 800, the ‘first real Windows Phone’

Finally, here it’s. The flagship device Nokia is reckoning on to bring a grin to our phone-loving faces, a sigh of relief to its shareholders, and a twinkle to the eyes of Finnish tax collectors everywhere. And, guess what? This heavily leaked handset might just live as much as our high expectations. From the surface, it’s totally reminiscent of our beloved N9 . Dubbed the “first real Windows Phone,” this device is sculpted from the identical 12.1mm (0.48-inch) thick of piece of durable polycarbonate plastic, with tapered edges at the top and bottom to offer it that industrial look and make it feel thinner that is. Sitting “proudly” on the top of the device is Nokia’s logo, with a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens around back. Nokia’s ClearBlack AMOLED display makes a welcome reappearance too. After we have a look at the insides, though, it is all about that fresh beginning : those bold squares you notice at the screen are, without a doubt , the graceful live tiles of Windows Phone Mango . As for the camera, it has got an f2.2 aperture, and is designed specifically for low-light environments. It kind of feels pretty equivalent to what one can find within the N9, but in line with Nokia, it’s simply a camera that works for “ordinary people, under ordinary circumstances.” Try some pics within the gallery below.
