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 (Video): Editor's Choice
Once a dominant player in the phone industry, through a series of mis-steps Nokia had ceded the U.S. smartphone market to Apple, various phone-makers who are using the Google Android operating system, and Research in Motion, which itself is struggling to keep pace in the competitive market.

Nokia Lumia 800 review: New beginnings
It will take crowds erupting in delight to silence the ring of the "burning platform" speech in the Nokia Lumia 800's ears. The speaker being Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and the burning platform Symbian. As Nokia are starting over, the Lumia 800 would do well not to look back.

- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
- Quad-band 3G with 14.4 Mbps HSDPA and 5.7 Mbps HSUPA support
- 3.7" 16M-color AMOLED capacitive touchscreen of 480 x 800 pixel resolution
- Scratch resistant Gorilla glass display with anti-glare polarizer
- 8 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash
- 720p@27fps
Cons:
- Display is much dimmer than the N9's display
- No Flash or Silverlight support in browser
- No USB mass storage (file management and sync pass only through Zune
- No video calls and no front-facing camera either
- Non-user-replaceable battery
- No memory card slot (and no 64GB version like the N9,

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.

There's no doubt about it, the Lumia 800 is a gorgeous phone. The simplicity, elegance and fully-stocked feature set of Windows Phone 7.5 paired with the stunning hardware design of the Lumia 800 amounts to a lethal combination that will change the game for both Nokia and Microsoft.

The Nokia Lumia 800 looks quite different from everything out there. It has a rectangular form factor and doesn't have any curved edges like other phones. At 142g, it's a bit on the heavy side.
