Nokia Lumia 800 review - best Windows Phone to date
18.05.12
Calling / Data
The microphone on the Nokia Lumia 800 appears to be solid since outbound call audio is very crisp and clear. Inbound audio, however, has not proven to be the phone's strong point, with results depending on the strength of the available signal. The Lumia 800 is capable of HSPA 14.4 3G data connections on the 900, 1900, and 2100MHz bands, which means it supports some parts of AT&T's network - but not all. The phone also features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, but doesn't support general USB mass storage mode and instead relies on Microsoft's Zune software for media transfers.
Messaging
I think Windows Phone 7.5 is a great OS for messaging. I'm in love with the beautiful and slick email client that lets you combine email accounts into multiple combined inboxes, and I love the integrated conversation sorting. The Messaging app is also quite nice, and it allows you to switch between text, MMS, Windows Live, and Facebook chat on the fly - all within the same threaded view. Gmail, Exchange, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn can all be used as sources for contacts and (where supported) calendar appointments. Fans of other instant messaging systems will have to seek out third party apps, though.
