#Lumia smartphones

We had a recent interview with Chris Weber, VP for Device Sales of Microsoft, regarding the new brand that the old Nokia will be using from here on -- Microsoft Lumia. Nokia's Executive Vice President for smart devices, Jo Harlow, has confirmed that the PureView technology is indeed coming to future Lumia phones. The Nokia Lumia 610 was finally unveiled at the MWC Nokia press event and is positioned to redefine what is “entry-level” for a Windows Phone. Nokia's new line of flagship smartphones will tout a spanking new Windows Phone 7.5 Mango mobile operating system. We finally got one of them to take out for a spin -- the Nokia Lumia 800. The design and form factor of the Lumia 800 did not depart much from the first Meego handset Nokia released back in October 2011, the Nokia N9. The few physical differences would be the screen size (3.7" for the Lumia 800 and 3.9" for the N9) and the WP7 navigation menu (Back, Home, Search) at the bottom corner of the glass display. Like the N9, the Lumia 800 also uses a micro-SIM card which is housed in a sliding compartment at the top of the handset.
