The editors didn't like
No front camera
Sightly expensive
Unsatisfactory camera performance in low light conditions
Lack of quality apps on Windows Marketplace
Bluetooth connectivity issues

The Lumia's camera isn't in the same league as the iPhone 4S's. It's above average and a skosh better than

Curved screen left me thinking its easy to scratch and fitting a protector may prove tricky
Windows Phone doesn't have the app support of iOS or Android (try before you buy)
Charging bay flap is going to break
No Internet Sharing
Fiddly volume rocker and lock key
No frontfacing camera
A bit on the heavy side
No LTE support
No MicroSD slot for additional storage
No Internet Sharing feature – not yet anyway
Battery is not removable

Poor camera
No removable memory
No Flash or Silverlight
And the 8 MP rearfacing camera is subpar compared to peers like the Samsung Galaxy S II and iPhone 4S. Not actually available in the U.S. yet
Smaller screen than N9
High price
Battery life could be better
No front facing camera
No microSD
Single-core processor
Poor video quality
No HSPA+ or 4G support
Unlocked in the US
Camera and video quality on the Lumia 800 is poor
Despite the fancy specs. A front-facing camera would make the phone more competitive. The Micro-SIM slot is hard to access
No micro-SD card slot
Disappointing camera
Tethering and other advanced features are missingPhones on other platforms have better cameras and performance
