In this WP7 device now I have 6 months Duration usage behind me, and between every now and again other devices have been added, but often also disappeared. That the Nokia Lumia 800 is still my faithful companion for the following reasons:
Processing:
Yes, it consists entirely of plastic. But I've never had conveyed without aluminum by the unibody manufacturing such a value. No sharp edges, no gaps, housing and display close almost flush with each other. The closure solution for USB port with a small flap made me suspicious at first, because I thought this would give way, break off or wear out at least someday. No, she snaps a still clean as on the first day. The same applies to the mechnischen switch on / off, and volume up / down and camera. All pressure points are still very good.
Display / presentation:
The AMOLED display is despite the limited resolution and font images is excellent. No frayed writing, no artificial colors in pictures and photographs. The capacitive screen easily and directly responds to your touch and is extremely resistant to scratches. Even common excursions by phone and keys in your pocket survived the Lumia without the slightest scratch. I have got used to adjust the screen brightness to "medium" or "Automatic" either "to use. The display is on the Stuffe" Hell "almost a little too bright. In addition, the battery consumption is considerably reduced.
Users handling / performance / battery:
Inputs and program starts by mail, SMS, telephone or IE be executed without any delay, on programs such as Whatsapp or Weather Live it takes experience, one second longer. But everything. In a good reasonable limits The camera starts up in approximately 2 seconds and in another second ready to trigger. The battery lasts about 1.5 days with heavy use of push email via four cones email, Facebook usage and internet browsing and tethering.
Camera / Photo:
One should not expect any miracles from this 8-megapixel camera. Occasional shots in daylight succeed in really good quality in darker lighting conditions rather mediocre quality. Amazingly well the camera is when shooting movies. Although these do not have full HD quality, can be viewed on the TV via DLNA still in very good quality.
Software:
Here Nokia delivers to the most recent update finally DLNA, to the mandatory navigation software with offline functionality, and very well-made add-on software, such as Creative Studio, Nokia bus and train service, etc. In addition, in the marketplace long ago with all major software it are also in the Google-Market aggressively. I do not need the 10 Launcher software so that the user finally looks tidy and tasteful. Widgets are at the Metro-principle with live tile (tiles update the important information such as new texts, calls, emails, temperature, Facebook notifications and Whatsapp messages as completely super- fluous. But I would like at this point not even the philosophy question New discuss what operating system is the best. Those who opt for a WP7 device, has already made generally familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the various systems.
Conclusion:
I have not experienced for over half a year a single crash. The device makes a still new impression despite intensive use. Nokia and Microsoft are constantly working on updates that improve the functionality continuously, without making you feel as a beta tester. WP7 is a tidy operating system without the need to permanently close a Task Manager programs to ensure that the memory is not fully running. I'll stay at 800'er, games even with the idea to buy me the 900'er due to the slightly larger displays. Here necessary to consider whether the size of the representation or handling are more important with a small handy device. The price of now less than 350 EUR is probably the reason for potential buyers rather than the Nokia 800, but think about the 900'er what is currently at 500 EUR.
