So first look issue, there is nothing to complain ... it's beautiful, clean, it's rugged and class.
I took in White story a change from the usual black. This is a rather Bright White easy to clean and non-marking unlike some matte colors.
Rather, it is well in hand despite its size.
As for its weight, it is controversial (180 grams anyway) but rather is quickly forgotten and indeed, I pay no more attention than that.
That said, I'm not hanging on my laptop for a time allowing me to tire because of its weight.
Then, on Windows Phone 8: from version 7.5 of the Lumia (I did not take advantage of migration 7.8 on my L800 before to part with it), we will say that there is no great revolution.
It is fluid, rather simple and intuitive (much more than Android for my taste) and customizable on the home page in reasonable limits. But more than adequate for 2 Windows Phone are not alike.
Side hardware, I clearly felt the difference with my previous L800. There's no picture. Everything goes much faster: even smoother interface, opening faster applications, data loading too.
No extension possible memory, but with 32GB and not listening to music on my laptop, it is enough for me.
In the Photo section, there is the same, it is the day and night with what I knew: clear, sharp photos, acceptable zoom, flash and OK night shots, much better.
So nothing to say on that side. Anyway, for photos without reproach, this is not a smartphone is needed, whatever is said and though we promise.
Side native embedded application, we always find the must of NOKIA. For me, it's the NOKIA GPS Drive I enjoy the most. Simple and intuitive, it plays its role with the big advantage that they operate without foreign data connection for example (to avoid excessive consumption Datas) simply by having the maps loaded on the phone.
Then, Nokia maps, My Surroundings, Nokia Explore ... all that, it works well and it looks good service.
To music by cons, I can not give you my opinion because I use an MP3 player separately.
Then for the Windows Store apps, we have all the bells sounds. For my part, I have always found everything I wanted. While not knowing the Android nor Apple Store, I can not compare. But is it better to 150,000 apps, 20% quality and really useful or 50,000 of which over half are of quality?
I think I'm not a sufficient user demand in terms of expectations to be able to show what it lacks.
One can read on some forums very mixed returns on this phone: accidental reboot, bugs, blurred photos ... Me I pulled the right number or when the update Portico has already been made on my device because I n ' have not been touched at all.
In short, for me, this Smartphone meets all my expectations and again I think he still has underfoot.
In addition, for reluctant to use Zune, there is more need to manage the phone on Windows Phone 8. So by connecting your smartphone to the PC, it appears simply as a storage volume.
