No HDMI. No DLNA. Storage and battery are not user manageable. Some lingering Windows Phone quibbles

No expandable memory, no frontfacing camera, Windows Marketplace lags well behind rivals
The Nokia Lumia 800 is a hi-tech phone at the higher end of midrange prices, so it's a bit cheaper than the top Android handsets from Samsung and HTC. It won't blow the competition out of the water the way the iPhone has often done in the past, but it'...
I was nicely surprised by the Nokia Lumia 800 and Windows Phone 7. It didn't blow me away as hard as the Nokia N9 did but that doesn't mean my experience with the Lumia was any worse. In fact, it was equally great, but just… different. The Lumia with WP7...
Great hardware design; good camera; Nokia has made some neat additions to Windows Mobile,
No memory expansion; no Flash support.
It's hard not to like the Nokia Lumia 800 in terms of design, how far Microsoft has developed its operating system, and what Nokia adds to it. But there are downsides. You can't expand its storage with a microSD card, and there's no support for Flash -...
Form factor, design and build quality, Overall performance, Powerful free GPS service, Radio Mix: 14 million free tracks to stream, Decent camera with room for improvement
No frontfacing camera, Memory can't be extended, MarketPlace has fewer apps than Apple and Android equivalents
Nokia's Lumia 800 is a very good smartphone and very much deserves comparisons with the HTC Titan, which, despite having a better camera, is less stylish and offers fewer services. Nokia has taken a little while to change direction, but this new smartp...
Nokia Maps still not functional, Internet text display dodgy at times, No Flash video, Zune player takes ages to copy video across, Mix Radio downloads unavailable
The best Windows Phone device on the market impresses, but still with some room for improvement...
Nokia and Microsoft have put themselves squarely back in the smartphone game with the Lumia 800, a lovely handset that's as much a joy to use as it is to look at. Main review: Nokia used to rule the mobile phone market. In fact, the company is still the ...
Excellent styling; really responsive display; free sat nav, top social network and email facilities; Nokia Maps beats Bing Maps handsdown
Disappointing snapper; Windows apps are way behind the choices available for iOS and Android users
The Nokia Lumia 800 is definitely Nokia's best handset for some time – it benefits from the inclusion of Windows Phone 7, but the mediocre snapper and lack of apps will be a letdown for many...
Some commentators may have bemoaned the lack of experimentation with the Nokia Lumia 800, citing that we’d seen the design already. That said, Nokia hit universal praise for the look and feel of the Nokia N9 only four short months ago, so those who are...
Let's cut to the point: The Nokia Lumia 800 is arguably the best Nokia smartphone we've ever seen. It features the same amazing design as the Nokia N9, with a uni-body design that matches the Apple iPhone 4S for design and quality – and it also features a stunning bright, colourful and sharp screen. The 3.7-inch display gets Nokia's CBD (ClearBlack Display) technology to boost colour reproduction
It's not all good, however. The biggest problem with the Nokia Lumia 800 is the lack of applications for the Windows Phone operating system. It's getting better all the time, granted, but it's still not a patch on Android or iOS.
If apps are what sells a phone to you, then you should hold off on buying the Nokia Lumia 800. It's more than capable of competing in any other area, however, proving easy to use, attractive and well made. We like it! Nokia Lumia 800 is tagged with No...
