Two Windows Phone 7 handsets have been revealed — the Nokia Lumia 710 and the Nokia Lumia 800 which basically almost the same one as the Nokia N9.


Nokia Lumia 800 specs:
3.7″ AMOLED display @ 480×800 pixels (252ppi)
1.4 GHz processor
Qualcomm MSM8255 chipset
3D Graphics HW Accelerator
512MB RAM
16GB
HSDPA 14.4Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
8MP autofocus camera, Carl Zeiss optics, flash
720p video recording
FM Radio tuner
GPS w/ aGPS support
Li-Ion 1450mAh battery
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

The Nokia Lumia 800 has the same design as the Nokia N9, only with a smaller display. The Carl Zeiss optics assures us the quality of the camera will be the same as the N9.


Nokia Lumia 710 specs:
3.7″ LCD display @ 480×800 pixels (252ppi)
1.4 GHz processor
Qualcomm MSM8255 chipset
3D Graphics HW Accelerator
512MB RAM
8GB
HSDPA 14.4Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
5MP autofocus camera, flash
720p video recording
FM Radio tuner
GPS w/ aGPS support
Li-Ion 1300mAh battery
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

The Lumia 710 looks like the Nokia C7 or Nokia 701 and is probably targeted to the younger crowd. It does not have Carl Zeiss optics though but should be cheaper than the Lumia 800.

Also have this impression the “Lumia” name doesn’t feel Nokia-ish.

Mr. Yuga, can you compare N9’s Meego with any Windows Phone? Now that Lumia 800 is coming soon, I think it would be interesting to see if Meego can challenge WP7. Also, it will help me decide if I will buy N9 or wait for Lumia 800 hehehe :)

Let’s give props to Nokia for designing sexy phones! But it’s already 2011! Its specifications, it pales in comparison with the almighty GNexus! 3.7″ is so 2007 and 720p resolution is the future!

>4.0-inch screens isn’t for everyone. As for the resolution, 720p on a 3.7-inch screen is overkill, and is yet to be supported. Maybe when WP7 starts supporting higher resolution, makakakita na tayo ng mas malalaking screens.

I really do hope Nokia and WP7 gains some market share with this release, for competition’s sake.

OS is good enough, even better than android at some points. but please nokia, please stick to basic. no ff cam, no sd slot.. hays..

I think WP OS golden age will come once APOLLO update starts rolling sometime next year. I’ve heard it will be a major update and will be a real game changer. Plus it will a NOKIA-centric one.

Whether it means shedding of light or a simple whore, I have to agree that Lumia 800 is one heck of a gorgeous phone along with it’s cousin the Nokia N9.

I am an Android(Galaxy 5) and iOS (iPod Touch) user and I am considering Windows Phone 7 for my next phone.

Windows Phone 7 sure is promising, considering the OS is just about a year old. Think of Android and iOS in their early years. I am sure Microsoft along with their partnership with Nokia, have great plans for this platform.

One of the biggest differentiators for Nokia in the Windows Phone world is Nokia Music. The company has had a couple of music offerings in the past, but Nokia Music really seems to nail it – it’s a radio-based Mix Radio service offering you choice of 100 channels varying by genre.

Most people already understand Zune, beautiful interface, you buy tracks and you play them. Simple.

But Nokia Music is a whole different proposition. It’s a radio-based system based on 15 million tracks, and a huge selection of these are sorted into generic stations or channels and refreshed, shuffled and served up to meet your taste and choice.

And its not radio in the traditional sense.

LA
lala · 15 years ago

that difference would be marginal at best. there are lots of music services out there that can match or even beat that, and some our web based that are not bound to any device or platform, like android music servers, jango, internet radio, etc.

I hope they can make a deeper customization, like in the case of android. people choose htc because of their sense ui, sony for their designs and network services like PSN, samsung for edgy tech. I mean if u compare nokia WP7 and Samsung WP7, there is much difference.

But of course people will still buy these, because of the NOKIA brand, which isn’t a bad thing.


MA
magnus · 15 years ago

One of Microsoft’s cornerstones of Windows Phone 7 was that the user experience belongs to Microsoft, and no OEM will be allowed to change it. that is why, HTC has not done any customization on windows phone or put HTC Sense unlike with android. they only have HTC Hub which is an application.

but as part of the contract between Nokia and Microsoft Nokia is being allowed to customize Windows Phone 7 to its heart consent, a big deal considering other vendors have requested the same access to Windows Phone 7 and not gotten it.

I love that nokia is venturing out, and the specs look decent considering WP is relatively efficient.

But I hate how they remove some things that make them NOKIA before. No SD slot, front facing camera? Nevermind the dual core, most android units cant utilize them properly except with 1080p vid recording..

But seriously, what differentiates NOKIA from other OEMs that produce WP7? They didn’t even make a decent customization to the UI to make it NOKIA-sh.. they just stirred people’s curiosity when they left meego for this.

I’m going to sleep well tonight thank you. The way you sound is like you’re a salesman from Nokia. I don’t pity you. BTW, I currently have Android and Apple products. Not so long ago I had my first smartphone from Windows OS, and based on experience I’d say it was a letdown. And don’t say I am particular with specs coz customers are always right.

Nice, the specs are definitely ok and up to par with the needs of smartphones.:) I’ve been waiting for this and I’m prettty sure microsoft will be doing it’s best in updating WP7 and nokia will always be there to utilise those updates. And I’m also pretty sure these phones won’t cost nearly as much as the high end android phones or iphone 4s.

Nokia’s market share continues to erode by iPhone, Android phones and even by RIM’s BlackBerry. Nokia has been one of my favorite phone for quite sometime now and hopefully with their transformation they can regain that lost ground and eventually became competitive again in the smartphone market. I do believe their Windows run mobile is now at par with popular superphones

i don’t think so. check the market share so you’d get an idea. android’s number is still increasing despite what you people think.

why are WP7 fanboys so fixated on this “you don’t need dual core to run WP7” mantra?


R4
r41n · 15 years ago

It means that the number of brainwashed people is also increasing. I’m not WP7 fanboy. FYI, I already tested Android Ice Cream Sandwich SDK. There is nothing GOOD new there. Remember that battery performance is also a spec. And Android phones are not good at that. I’d say that most android phones are ugly looking (except those of Sony Ericsson). Kudos for those who care for design like Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Apple.


AN
another john · 15 years ago

and how is your experience with an SDK similar to an experience with an actual device? there are no ICS phones out yet and you’re talking as if it would perform the same way as the SDK. i’d say stop talking nonsense and come back when you’ve actually used one.

battery life? my spica could last more than 2 days of heavy use yet my focus can barely get me to 1.5 days. multi-tasking isn’t even on the same league.


JO
John · 15 years ago

@another john

check the market? ask me that again next year. LOL
anyway, hindi namin sinasabi na ayaw namin ng DUAL CORE.. syempre kailangan din yun for games, faster Web and full HD Videos.. ang sinasabi lang namin is a 1ghz WP7 runs A LOT BETTER than a dual core android phone.

syempre it is not faster, its better. smoothness, zero errors, etc.. force closes? hindi uso sa wp7 yan. restart? hindi rin uso yan.

ang uso dito eh yung PAGIGING SOBRANG DALING GAMITIN kasi sobrang smooth, yung tipong di ka maiirita kasi di mo maclick kasi nag lag, etc etc.

another john · 15 years ago

@John

sure, let’s see the market share in another year. that’s the funny thing about WP7. you always hear its fans say it will be this or that next time.

i wouldn’t call it better with it’s pathetic multi-tasking implementation and it’s crippled functionality. i’m way past the silly animations that most people only seem to notice.

nokia clearly doesnt battle for specs, Windows Phone doesnt require a dual core spec to run like fluid esp now with Mango 7.5. they have to come back to the race by giving consumers a ‘refreshingly unified ecosystem coupled with great hardware’. if you go for specs, you got Android. Android can soar high up heaven specs because Android is power hungry. oh cmon talking about price? the hardware on this alone deserves your hard earned savings and this will still look new coz its polycarbonate (will not dent or chip off color). funny to think most people nowadays just consider specs to be impressed when they ‘actually’ don’t need them.

You are a brainwashed person. Single core WP7 can run smoother than dual core Android. It does not need 1GB of RAM. And it is battery efficient because of using single core. If WP7 provides better update and upgrades in the future, then this is the beginning of the end of Android.

typical response from a WP7 fanboy. of course you don’t need dual core when you’re multi-tasking implementation is pathetic and all you can do is pin tiles to your home screen.

the purpose people ask for a higher-spec’ed device is future-proofing. WP7 is out for a year already and they’re still releasing almost the same hardware? who are they kidding?
