No front camera
Sightly expensive
Unsatisfactory camera performance in low light conditions
Lack of quality apps on Windows Marketplace

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
Mediocre camera and lack of Windows apps puts it a ways below Android and iPhone flagship phonesLook and Feel...

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

No microSD

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

For the diehard Windows Phone 7 aficionados, there's little doubt that the Lumia 800 is the phone to buy now. The Lumia 900 is on the horizon, but it's anybody's guess as to when that'll be — and it's highly unlikely Nokia would stymie sales of the 800 by...
Internet text display dodgy at times, No Flash video, Zune player takes ages to copy video across, Video recording not impressive, Battery issues still prevail

No memory card slot, Below average battery life, Limited apps compared to rivals
The Nokia Lumia 800 may not be a better phone than some of its competitors, but it's the first Nokia phone that can at least offer a very good alternative. The Lumia 800 is easily the best Windows Phone on the market, combining a fantastic design with an...
