Hands-On: Nokia Lumia 800 and 710
This forum is for discussion of this article. For general discussion of the Nokia Lumia 710, please check out our Nokia Lumia 710 forum ›
A 37-inch screen on the 710?! What are you thinking Nokia?!
The Lumia 710's display is the same size and resolution of the 800s (37-inches, 800 x 480 pixels)...
And I thought the evo was too large...
If this is the best Nokia can do, then they should quit
Seriously, this is ridiculous. They have getting their butts kicked for the past 3 years in the smartphone market and this is the best they can do ? Has nokia ever heard of diversification ? HTC got it, Samsung got it, but Nokia just doesn't get it. Why does nokia think they can outsell all the other OS's when windows 7 has been selling miserably by HTC and Samsung over the past year ? This has nothing to do with which OS is better at this point. Big corporations are about making money, and making money only. So what would nokia have lost if they were to sell both Android and Win7 ?
The answer is that they wouldn't have lost anything and instead, NOkia would most likely own the Android market with their superior hardware. Most Nokia emp...

sell what sells, and trash the rest.
Because Nokia Windows Phone 7 handsets aren't selling that well?
...
You know, with that mentality, the only phones would be Android or iPhone. Why not get on with an OS that gives people another option? Everyone doesn't want or like Android or iPhone.
iPhone or Win?
I really want a windows phone but I've already started to get all my content on iTunes.
It kind of sucks that all the software is so fragmented which makes the consumer "commit" to a specific OS.
I would feel more comfortable having all my content with iTunes because its dependable. I would love to one day get a Mac book air, and a tablet (iPad perhaps), and an iPhone to keep everything on one OS which the advantages would be to keep my content interchangeable.
Downside? Apple is expensive, and I really like this Nokia relationship with Microsoft, but my question is, How committed are they? If I decide to go with windows for all of my content, will I be sorry in the long run?

Too much effort and money has been put into this. It's not like MS pet project the Kin phone. This is something that has been well thought out and executed. So far, MS seems to have have a handle on the update fragmentations from updates, unlike Andro...

impressed.
The Lumia 800 looks really really really nice. Any word on a U.S. release date?
hey, I know you are an iPhone fan and was wondering if you can share some advice on a problem of mines. If you don't mind could you answer my concern of mines, do you think Windows would be worth the investment in the long run or will they give up qui...

If only they ran Android...
They might be worth a look. Appears to be decent h/w, but brain-dead software...
I agree, they should have just made an Android and jump on the band wagon. It would have saved them much faster then windows will.
Nobody would care at all if this phone ran on Android, in fact, it would be suicide for Nokia to even consider. The spec-heads would riot! "no dual-core'" "no huge screen'" "no robotic arm that comes out of the screen and types for you!"

removable battery?
The 700, does it have a removable battery? I keep reading where they say it's just one block and i don't see any back panel or anything to remove the battery.
