Also known as Nokia Sea Ray
The Lumia 800 is crafted out of a single piece of polycarbonate and as a result is as light as a feather.
At the bottom of the Nokia Lumia 800, there's a speaker. We didn't hear the sound quality of the Nokia Lumia 800, and with the speaker's size, we don't expect it to pack the loudest sound, but at least the music can be heard whether you have the facing screen up or down.
There's the usual earphone jack at the top and a microUSB connection for charging and connecting to your computer.
he screen is a ClearBlack display and it's slightly domed. This makes it feel as though the Windows Phone interface is jumping out at you and feels all the better for it. However, it does attract fingerprints, as does the Lumia 800's whole finish.
Around the back and you'll find an 8-megapixel Carl Zeiss camera. Apparently, it lets more light in than other cameras. We didn't really see this (and we're not sure if it will be particularly handy), but the camera quality is top notch – as you'd expect from Nokia.
The thing most people are looking forward to with the Nokia Lumia 800 though is the Windows Phone operating system.
Nokia has left this pretty much alone, probably because Microsoft is militant on this point, but as big fans of the Windows Phone interface and platform as whole, this is no bad thing.
Nokia has brought in three new innovations to the homescreen though. There's the Nokia Drive application, which allows you to use your phone as a standalone SatNav, in landscape mode.
Unfortunately, like most of the data-dependant features on the Nokia devices on show, we were unable to test this properly. The interface does look pretty good though and easy to use.
Nokia's Music service is also onboard, allowing you to keep your music collection in check and listen to Nokia's preinstalled music lists while online or offline. Again, this feature didn't work, because there wasn't a data connection, but demos in the keynote looked smooth enough.
The third feature Nokia debuted on the Nokia Lumia 800 is the ESPN Sports Hub, which allows you to get all the news and scores as they happen. The interface is standard Windows Phone fare, but the amount of information embedded is pretty impressive.
The Nokia Lumia 800 runs on a 1.4GHz single core processor, and it certainly proves that you don't need a dual core processor to make things move fast. We didn't experience any problem with running speed while testing the phone briefly and this is refreshing from a company that seems to build in stutters.
After spending a little while playing with the Nokia Lumia 800, we were very impressed with what we saw and we look forward to seeing more when we get to spend a little more time hands on.
