Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia 710<\/p><\/div>\n

Today at Nokia World<\/a> in London, Nokia announced its first Windows phones, the Nokia Lumia 800<\/a> and the Nokia Lumia 701. I wasn’t able to make it to London but Nokia held a press event at their US headquarters in the Silicon Valley today where I got a chance to see and try both phones. Here are my first impressions.<\/p>\n

The Nokia 800<\/strong>\u00a0(above, left; below, right) is the higher end of the two. It is a\u00a0gorgeous\u00a0device with a quality feel. Externally it’s almost identical to the N9 MeeGo phone (below, left). Like the N9, it has a one piece polycarbonate body with a non-removable battery and a glass screen that is smoothly curved into the body at the edges. The only physical differeces I could find between the N9 and the 800 are that the Windows phone has a physical camera button and a slightly smaller 3.7″ vs 3.9″ screen to make room for the three standard Windows phone capacitive buttons.<\/p>\n

The 800’s camera has nearly identical specs to the N9 too; 8 MP, autofocus, Carl Zeiss lens and dual led flash.<\/p>\n

The software on the 800 looks to be Standard Windows Phone Mango with the addition of a couple of exclusive Nokia apps.<\/p>\n
