The Nokia Lumia 800 was introduced at the recent Nokia World by Stephen Elop (Nokia's CEO) who said "it's the first real Windows Phone". It's a bold statement, but it's true that in the past, Windows Phone have often inherited from designs that were not the very best handset makers could offer.

Windows Phone has been sort of a ship without a port for a while now, getting along as a platform without a must-have, lightning-rod handset. Nokia's Lumia 800 is the first serious contender for that honor, but Mango's knight in shining polycarbonate might not be enough to make its presence felt...

Nokia Lumia 800 Review
So here it is, the Nokia Lumia 800 – the "first real Windows Phone " phone made by Nokia. I've had virtually no experience with Windows Phone 7 before and was looking very much forward to the Lumia 800. Is WP7 able to impress me as much as Nokia N9 and MeeGo Harmattan did recently

Nokia Lumia 800 Review
I was very exciting to get hands-on with Nokia's Lumia 800 when it came out, and I'm glad to say that it didn't disappoint. The hardware makes the phone nicer to use than many other devices I've come across in the past few months, and for me it's more comfortable to hold than an iPhone.
