The Nokia Lumia 800 is by far one of the best looking Windows Phone 7 smartphones we’ve seen so far, but its allure is diluted somewhat by its fuzzy PenTile matrix display and an unlocked price that puts it in the same territory as the iPhone 4S. ...
Beautiful design, Amoled screen, free Nokia music and navigation apps, reasonable battery life
No Adobe Flash support, no micro-SD card slot
Nokia's comeback is off to a good start with the Lumia 800. The high-end specifications and unique services help to make it the best Windows Phone handset available and a worthy alternative to Apple and Samsung devices....

Windows Phone software is slick and fun to use; Free music streaming with Nokia's Mix Radio; Onboard navigation software; Stylish, sturdy design
