How the forceful have fallen. Truly, how the compelling have fallen! Nokia, once an overwhelming relentless power in the telephone business sector, has now been consigned to the sidelines of both the monetary allowance and the top of the line fragments. Indeed, even as the iPhone eata away Nokia's offer in the top of the line portion, Android gadgets are tearing up into its once undisputed predominance of all verticals if the business sector.


With MeeGo route behind timetable, Nokia's recently stamped CEO Stephen Elop pulled the attachment on the venture in February and bolted an extraordinary concurrence with Microsoft, transforming Windows Phone into the Finnish monster's head cell phone stage. The Lumia 800 is an amalgamation of this marriage.


Words can't depict what delightful looking like the Lumia 800 is. On the other hand, we can't resist the urge to make examinations with the recent Nokia N9, which fundamentally has the same frame with the Lumia 800, dropping the catch less show for the Windows Phone capacitive catches and including a two stage camera screen catch.


Outline insightful, we won't say the Lumia 800 trumps the iPhone 4 on the grounds that even after a year the iPhone 4 is dazzling to take a gander at. Where the Lumia 800 scores over the iPhone 4S is unquestionably toughness. The iPhone 4S is really delicate on account of its glass outside, however one will confront no such issues with the Nokia Lumia 800. With its infusion shaped unibody polycarbonate exoskeleton, the Lumia 800, similar to its twin the N9, is a masterpiece as well as an undaunted rock.


Its bended glass clear dark AMOLED presentation is a show-stopper and resembles the renowned gem made in Prague. The showcase skims on top of the body giving us a hallucination of water on top of a surface.


At 3.7 inches, the presentation on the Lumia 800 is a bit littler than the N9 and components a marginally lower WVGA determination of 800x480 in light of the equipment confinement implemented on Windows Phone Mango. This is likewise the explanation behind the littler presentation as Nokia needed to oblige for the Windows Phone capacitive touch catches and couldn't hold the catch less greatness of the N9.


What we truly preferred about this specific outline was the way that Nokia does not even endeavor to make the gadget an anorexic bit of plastic. At 12.1 mm, the Lumia 800 is thick, just like the N9. Contrast this with the Motorola Droid Razr, which is the most slender telephone at a pitiful 7.1mm.


On the other hand, the truth of the matter is that Nokia was not gunning for size zero, rather they were going for a level of advancement and ergonomic solace that 99% of the planet's populace would acknowledge and that is precisely what this dazzling mechanical configuration conveys.


It won't be an exaggeration in the event that we say the Lumia 800 is a benchmark as far as modern configuration. Be that as it may, of course the N9 pips it by a touch in light of the fact that catch less was the first vision. The expansion of Windows Phone catches is simply unnatural, regardless of the amount Nokia drives home their hypothesis of the Lumia 800 being a refinement of the N9 plan. It's most certainly not!


Different components of the mechanical outline are correctly processed speaker gaps and attractive lock entryways for the smaller scale USB and miniaturized scale sim ports on the top and base finishes of the gadget.


At first, when we were playing around with the gadget, we had an issue that remains to be worked out with these entryways as they got adhered and we attempted to open them. This happened because of an unusual configuration choice taken by Nokia where the small scale sim port would just uncover itself if the smaller scale USB entryway was open. Be that as it may, it didn't take us long to get used to this whimsy of the gadget.


Aside from these outline amenities, the standard volume rockers and the force catch is set on the right hand side close by an extra two stage camera screen catch, which was noticeably truant in the N9.


Because of Windows Phone Mango not supporting local feature visit, Nokia dropped the front confronting camera. We didn't miss it in light of the fact that we think of it as a genuinely pointless usefulness given the condition of 3G in the Indian market. That said, one would have loved it in any case and its unlucky deficiency will unquestionably cause issues down the road for Nokia globally.


All in all, we were exceptionally awed with Nokia's modern configuration and without a doubt this will be presently the benchmark by which all Windows Phone gadgets are judged.


Nokia embraces their Clear Black AMOLED innovation for the Lumia 800's 3.7-inch show. It is of the same sort as on the N9, with the main change being in the screen size and determination. As specified above because of Windows Phone equipment top, Nokia could just actualize a WVGA 800x480 board, however in any case it is a shocking board.


The live tile based Metro UI sprung up on this board with profound blacks and superlative survey edges. Clearly, it is not in the alliance of Apple's retina IPS board or Samsung's SUPER AMOLED HD board on the Galaxy Note yet it is colossally fulfilling.


Nokia is one organization which has constantly created shocking camera telephones. Nokia's N8, a year ago's leader, was assailed from all quarters however the one thing it had putting it all on the line was its 12-megapixel camera. It was good to the point that till date its camera is viewed as the best ever in a cell telephone.


The Lumia gloats of all standard camera languages, for example, a f/2.2 gap, superior optics civility Carl Zeiss and zero shade slack, however how about we get genuine - the 8 megapixel camera is no N8. Yes, it's a decent camera telephone however it's not the best one around the local area by far. Indeed, even the iPhone 4S brags of a prevalent camera. All things considered, in the Windows Phone biological community the Lumia 800 is the ruler of camera telephones.


On the feature front the Lumia shoots fresh 720p HD feature, however misses the mark in low light conditions. 1080p feature is not bolstered by the single center chipset controlling the gadget however since Windows Phone can't bolster double center chips, it's an issue more identified with the product stage as opposed to Nokia's equipment slashes.


What truly separates the Lumia 800 from the stranded N9 is the product running in the engine. No MeeGo around here, Nokia invites you to the universe of Metro!


At the point when the Nokia-Microsoft arrangement was reported, an extraordinary separated Windows Phone experience was touted by both the organizations. On the other hand we saw no such separation in the Lumia 800 as the gadget wore a really plane-Jane Windows Phone Mango experience excepting a modest bunch of Nokia applications intended for Windows Phone.


Windows Phone all alone is an incredible working framework yet we were left needing all the more, particularly after what we had seen with the MeeGo fueled N9.


Try not to misunderstand us - Windows Phone meets expectations completely splendidly if not a smidgen smoother than on different gadgets, but rather the experience does not give the buyer a convincing motivation to settle on the Lumia 800. More than this, one really wanted to review the N9 as the bended glass presentation was infact intended for its one of a kind swiping interface. Sadly, here Windows Phone is not ready to use the configuration nuances of the bended glass show, which means sheer bitterness.


While there is most likely a feeling of disillusionment with the disappointing way of Windows Phone experience on the Lumia 800, there is not even a sorry excuse for uncertainty that the Metro UI mixes well with the equipment particularly the infusion shaped plastic body and we can clearly expect a strong separated affair on future Nokia gadgets when we have Windows Phone Tango and Apollo out in the blend.


As said above, there is not a ton of separation in the Lumia 800. There are just a modest bunch of Nokia particular applications, for example, Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps and Mix Radio.


Nokia conveys its fabulous mapping innovation to the table with Nokia Drive and Nokia Maps. NavTech, an organization Nokia had gained a couple of years prior powers this innovation, and it gives a strong suite of mapping and route administrations. These incorporate voice helped turn-by-turn route and downloadable disconnected from the net maps for more than 700 urban communities in India and thousands abroad.


It passages extremely well against Google's suite of administrations running of Android and iOS stages and conveys Microsoft's environment satisfactory as far as these mapping and route highlights.


Blend Radio is a music application taking into account the lines of Pandora and Spotify. It's essentially an Internet radio and offers a horde of prominent tracks from different classifications however the Bollywood stuff is long gone. It additionally offers downloadable playlists, a capacity we are certain music beaus will appreciate. While all in all it may not offer an exceptionally far reaching library of such in examination to something like Spotify, it is certainly helpful for Indian clients as neither Pandora nor Spotify work in India.


Overall, while every one of these applications were unquestionably helpful and pleasant, they didn't give the clients a convincing motivation to select Nokia equipment over different makers.


What's much all the more undermining for Nokia here is that these applications won't be restrictive to Nokia gadgets, however they will be free for Nokia clients.


As far as we can tell so far all Windows Phone gadgets have performed easily - right keeping pace with any semblance of their Android and iOS partners, that too on somewhat substandard equipment. The Lumia 800 is the same in this appreciation. All activities on the gadget perform at rankling speed and multitasking is a breeze with Mango's new webOS like application exchanging.


Lamentably, with the equipment restrictions of Windows Phone Mango all we get is a 1.4GHz snapdragon processor, which lives up to expectations working together with 512MB of RAM, so Nokia gadgets are still to enter a double center world.


Other than this, the Lumia 800 likewise comes outfitted with 16GB of memory yet on paper it is a disappointing spec sheet with trendy expressions like double center handling missing which can influence buyer mind. Unmistakably, Nokia trusts the Lumia 800 can have a beguiling impact on the clients simply like the iPhone 4, which likewise was rock strong entertainer.
