A Lumia 800 to take, please

After the comprehensive test, a conclusion must not be missed. But how this fails? Quite simply: Buy Lumia while having fun off - if it is part of the target group.
 
          Nokia Lumia 800
 
Again and again, Tester everyday and normal user are far apart. Then we report nerds on Symbian and explain the world, it is complicated and users unfriendly. The next day you can see then unauthorized or inexperienced people who have a Nokia N8 or Nokia E6 running around. To the question whether it was good and why we bought it, the customer then declares: "the camera takes really great pictures and the metal design has convinced me." Others proudly claim they would have bought an iPhone because it display colored box and you can tap on the display. This clientele, from Smartphone - new entrants, interested it welcome little, whether as Android, BlackBerry OS, Ios_base::OpenMode or WP 7 is installed, how many gigahertz processor is or how many apps there are in the marketplace. Much more significant issues burn them under the fingernails: «Can I this on the Internet?», «Works Facebook it?», «Can I play Coffeeworld this?», «Makes the camera good photos?» and most important «is there that even in a different color?

Such needs is able to satisfy WP 7, like any other operating system on the market also. And Nokia controls to do so in black, cyan, and magenta colored hardware, later there will be the similarly equipped Lumia 710 with Wechselcovern for even more color at a cheaper price. And the customers will be so happy, because Nokia has created a hardware in the short time, which is nice to look at and still much nicer in hand. It is a real woman, with a USB cover which you with boredom and can fold without damaging it immediately. This is similar to the vibration switch to the iPhone, the impatient when boredom likes to repeatedly up and down move. I would say Nokia resold emotions instead of hardware for the first time since a long time. And that will pay off I hope.

Then there is yet a different clientele: nerds, geeks, datasheet fanatics, gamer, and dual-core supporters. People look behind the despicable facade which want to impress only key figures. They are reasonably satisfied, because a lot about 13 GB internal memory, 512 MB of RAM and 1.4 GHz can be begin, especially if the OS is not resource hungry. The battery reaches Internet surfing 15-minütlichem email retrieval (smaller intervals can not be selected), an hour, an hour of listening to music and an hour of gaming to the 10 hours of running time. In productive use, I separate the phone in the morning from the outlet and must connect it in the evening at home again.

Is it not entirely uninvolved the AMOLED screen with CBD coating (clear black display); rich vivid colors and a black OS theme which saves power, help the battery. At the same time the criticisms in the eye, no HDMI port, a spare battery, no USB-On-the-go, no mass storage mode, no equalizer, not a microSD card slot, no PIM sync outside of Windows Live fall immediately, no sending of files via Bluetooth, no front-facing camera that you could use for self-portraits, Skype, G + hangout or FaceTime - Ah, there the programs still not for WP7…

Gamers will be pleased about the pretty good games from the Microsoft Studios are but slightly more expensive than in other app stores. For this, there is almost always possible to test games as demo-version. This aspect has unfortunately much too short in my review, because the gaming experience, including the customizable avatars and the «take» the scores are satisfactorily resolved for player natures only on Windows phone 7 in this form. Take gamers, necessarily a look at it!

Critics I give quite right: me has surprised the lack of won love hardware features and discouraged. But except for HDMI, lack integration of own Funambol server and direct sharing of music files without Zune software it is not negatively noticed. Because the fast-reacting OS, the beautiful animations with «Kawai» factor (Japanese interjection for «microsecondoscopes sweet!») and the ease of use have taken me under their spell. That is all crucial question: on raising change with a Nokia Lumia 800? Yes, when...

Yes, if one is willing to separate from the previous operating concept and is a chance new. Yes, if the Smartphone should look good. Yes, if you want just a Smartphone to surf on the Internet, to write emails and to stay in touch with friends. Yes, if you want a free, reliable navigation solution. Yes, if you require mobile gaming with beautiful graphics and an even greater «Yes», if one xBox calls one of his own. Would I buy it? I would be Windows or Mac user, and it a contract extension would be to, then Yes. I think the contract-free price of EUR 499 is too expensive, from EUR 420 I would snap shut if possible. But what dreams I da, on my PC, the Linux Penguin works and thus Windows phone 7 comes not cope - too bad.
