Nokia Lumia 800 Owners Review

Having finally taken the plunge yesterday and bought the Nokia Lumia 800 to replace my trusty iPhone 3GS I thought I would write a real-life review from a user perspective that may assist others in their choice.

The biggest difference in appearance has been the screen - the clarity and sharpness is a street ahead of my old iPhone 3GS.

So far the biggest positives have been:

• Excellent screen, both resolution and clarity/colours
• Spellchecker and autocorrect far more useful than iOS/iPhone
• People hub to connect social activity is fantastic and the level of integration is great
• Group texting! Something that was never possible on iPhone. On Lumia, create a group and choose whether you want to email or text the members - simple!

And the negatives

• Limited apps eg no Dropbox
• Fonts take some getting used to
• Screen actions differ to iOS/iPhone eg hold to delete
• No dedicated silent button as per iPhone

Overall with less than 24 hours usage I am very impressed with the phone and cannot wait to see the improvements with the Windows Phone 7.8 update and test the new Lumia 920 with WP8 when it is released.
