Hardware design
Lumia 800, Nokia N9 is the same as the physical appearance, the phone is beautiful. It has the monolithic design, form strange design, the rounded edges, the port is hidden under the cover button and youthful colors (pink, blue and black). Special polycarbonate plastic material of the machine brings a touch of certainty and reliability when holding. Dimensions 116.5 mm long, 61.2 mm 12.1 mm width and thickness. Modular design thanks to compact, pocket does not occupy much space.
On the right side you will see the volume control keys, power button and shutter. Micro-USB port and Micro-SIM card slot on the top of the machine are covered with plastic lids. Note that open Micro-USB port cover to open the lid Micro-SIM slot. Top of the camera also has 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The back is an 8 megapixel camera lens with LED flash pairs. This phone has no battery cover on the back, so you must be prepared to press and hold the power button to perform a hard reset the machine when there is something wrong glitch (like on iOS devices) instead of removing the battery.
One of our favorite parts of this phone is the screen. First, it is fitted snugly to the body and the screen material gradually from the edges slightly bent into the machine, enabling users to easily scan the on-screen joystick. The screen itself is also very beautiful.
WVGA resolution (800 x 480 pixels) 3.7-inch AMOLED screen looks very striking, vivid touchscreen, sharp and smooth over deep black background and good color saturation. Nokia has applied ClearBack polarization filter technology to help improve the company’s visibility in direct sunlight and in fact we found it very easy to view outdoors. However, sunlight also highlight all the fingerprints stored on the phone’s screen.
Windows Phone OS
The biggest difference between the Lumia 800 and Nokia’s previous phones are phones running on Microsoft’s Windows Phone software. It uses the latest version of Mango (Windows Phone 7.5) with some new features. Windows interface is very beautiful thanks to the smooth performance 3D applications.
The main screen displays a series of lively squares provide updated information. For example, the box displays a message and email to the user that the unread messages. You can also put your apps, photos and contacts to the home screen to use as a shortcut. Hand scan to the edge of the screen will open a list of applications.
You can also click the search button to quickly find a particular application, or if you have too many items in the list of apps, Windows Phone automatically divide the applications alphabetically so you can quickly transferred to the application group. If you have multiple applications open, you can hold down the back to switch between them.
One of the best things about the OS is that social networks are integrated within it. People Hub brings together not only contacts but also a set of updates from Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin in one place for ease of navigation.
Nokia has several separate applications provide Lumia 800 as Nokia Drive navigation applications; Nokia Music player application; Free music service Mix Radio provides 15 million tracks.
Generally, if you’ve used Windows Phone, you will understand why Nokia decided to abandon Symbian to move to this operating system.
However, this operating system also has a few weaknesses. Bing Maps is integrated into this system is relatively poor, is not it show that the map is incorrect because it does not show many street names in the standard zoom level as when used on Android or iPhone. In addition, Windows Phone on the Lumia 800 does not support Adobe Flash, so you will not be able to view video on the site.

On the application, there are some basic machine’s Windows Phone as alarm, calculator, calendar, Internet Explorer 9 (supports HTML5, but not Flash support) and Bing Maps for maps voice navigation. If you want to find more applications, you can go to the Marketplace warehouse. However, applications for Windows Phone is still poor in comparison with Android or iOS.
Lumia 800 has an internal memory of 16 GB and 25 GB free online storage on Microsoft’s SkyDrive service.
