About Nokia Lumia 800

The Windows Phone 7.5 device from Nokia is finally here.
We got a chance to play with the device very recently, and were quite impressed with the overall package. Here is what we think of this device, in the little time we have spent with it, till now.

• It feels good to hold. While it isn't the lightest phone around (at 142 grams, to be precise), the slim form factor does mean that weight isn't what you think about immediately.
• The power button, volume rocker and camera key are all on the right side panel, leaving the left panel completely clean.
• No physical buttons on the front panel. Home (with the Windows logo), return and Bing search are all touch based.
• We love the AMOLED display on the Lumia 800. It is adequately vivid, considerably (and uncomfortably, if you don’t adjust the brightness properly) bright and responds to touch brilliantly.
• The interface on Windows Phone 7.5 is delightful. The Live Tiles concept just adds a distinct (and welcome) visual element.
• We are yet to encounter any slowdown in performance, app hangs/crashes and/or any system freeze situations. We will give you a detailed performance analysis in the soon-to-follow review, but the initial indications are quite positive.

The pre-bookings for this device have started at various Priority dealers, and the device is expected to be available in a couple of weeks. Expect a detailed review of the Lumia 800 in the next few days. Stay tuned for that, but do check out some product pictures in the meantime.
