Customer Review

For several days I have the Lumia 800 is now in the endurance test. As a previous comparison reference the Samsung Galaxy S2 is in the Android version 2.3.5.

First impression (4/5 stars):
The Lumia 800 comes in an appropriate packing. Unwrapped initially falls on the weight. It's significantly "harder" than the Galaxy S2, but also makes a higher quality first impression. When you first turn the unit goes through a wizard that assists in setting. All this takes self-explanatory and logical.

Housing and processing (4/5 stars):
The Nokia Lumia 800 acts as a unified whole. The unibody enclosure is great, feels good in the hand and makes a high quality impression. The display is perfect, only the buttons on the right side look cheap in my model. I have a feeling that they do not last. Otherwise, the processing complaints.
Disadvantage of this housing concept is definitely the permanently installed battery. You have to consider before buying, a change comes so easily out of the question, the battery is defective, the whole phone comes in for repair. The use of a spare battery at "massive" use precipitates.

Display (5/5 stars):
With 3.7 inches, the display corresponds to the order of the iPhone, making it smaller than the Samsung competitors. The size is largely a matter of taste and therefore not flow in my assessment. A direct comparison with the Galaxy S2 the quality of the display stands out. It is the Galaxy in every way, the brightness is good, crisp images to be discovered and the touch response is fully in order.

Internet, processor and memory (4/5 stars):
The surf trip to the Internet makes the Lumia 800 fun. Although the display is a bit too small in some situations, the Internet Explorer is functioning properly, multi-touch gestures for zooming succeed perfectly and at the speed thank wireless n and HSPA is nothing to complain about.
The fleet processor ensures judder-free work, even though it is a single core. This creates the dual core in Glaxy S2 not always, alas!
For storing music files and the Lumia brings with 16GB of storage, available from the out of the box more than 13 available. In principle, enough that unless the entire music collection to go on trips. Windows Phone typically the memory is not expandable, which is in my opinion one of the biggest disadvantages of Windows Phone 7.

Battery (3/5 stars):
As mentioned above, the battery is permanently installed, with the disadvantages mentioned. The performance is below average, but within 24 hours the cell phone goes with me back to the charger, since Galaxy S2 still keeps through. However, the runtime certainly depends very much on the user profile. An update, which has not yet arrived for me, is to provide a remedy here.

Kammera (4/5 stars):
In daylight the camera knippst 8MP ordinary images, it is insulating rich or you can go into rooms with artificial light, the images are significantly worse. For a cell phone, the quality is certainly in order, snapshots succeed usually good. The "photographer" picks anyway for large equipment.
Videos I have not really tested.

Operating System and Market Place (4/5 stars):
I have been able to test the following mobile operating system: Android 2.3, iOS 5, Symbian and Windows Phone 7. Of Allen Like Windows Phone 7 best.
It is very intuitive, very clear and has all the functions required by a smart phone in the basic equipment. The OS is very stable, a crash so far I could not watch on the Lumia 800.
Here runs Android 2.3.3 and 2.3.5 on the Galaxy S2 significantly behind, the OS is certainly good, but crashes repeatedly and often jerky.
Symbian is outdated and simply no longer meets the current requirements.
iOS is also rock solid and intuitive, comes with me but just not as good. That certainly is my personal taste, but I do not like Apple now times.
The Windows Marketplace is clearly nowhere near as extensive as Apple's AppStore or the Android Market. Here Apple has the edge, as both in scope and quality. With Android, I have gained the impression that there is more going to quantity instead of quality here. Many useful apps can be found here but also. When Windows Marketplace personally I miss some apps that were previously very useful to me. I hope that here the rapid growth soon makes remedy. The quality of the stored Apps is certainly good.

Security (5/5 stars):
Because, unlike the desktop Windows is not as widespread in the mobile area, there are hardly any malicious software. The Market Place is regulated as Apple and checked, resulting in a certain degree of security with it. In Android Market you start relatively easily a malicious apps.

Synchronization, PC connection, updates (3/5 stars):
The data exchange with the PC is successful with Windows Phone (almost) exclusively via the Zune software. About Here everything is synchronized. That works without problems, only Outlook users will be amazed: One would think that a Windows Phone makes a sync directly with Outlook. But far from it! Outlook can be synchronized with Zune and Zune then synchronized with the mobile phone. Although the funtkioniert, but with me errors are also unfortunately happens. So individual contacts were gone, appointments have not been included in Outlook etc. Alternative: The switch to Hotmail. The live synchronization with Hotmail works perfectly. For me this is not a real solution because I manage my email via IMAP in Outlook and does not want to know on servers in the United States my contact! Here, then, there is still need to catch up!
There is the possibility that involve bypassing the Zune software Lumia 800 with Windows Phone 7.5 as a USB drive on a Windows PC. To this end, I recommend Google :-)
Updates are displayed on the Lumia, can then be uploaded only via USB and Zune.

Navigation (5/5 stars):
The Lumia brings a complete navigation solution, similar to Symbian with. The function works perfectly, the Navi leads me safely to their destination. The maps of many countries can be fully charged to the unit, so that expensive data charges esp. Accounts abroad. Great, so it should be!

Conclusion:
Nokia has launched a class smartphone on the market. Whether it is to save on phone market before sinking the Finns to be seen.
I got off the phone with pleasure exchanged for my Galaxy S2 because it is a more rounded overall system.
