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

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
Nokia Maps still not functional, Internet text display dodgy at times, No Flash video, Zune player takes ages to copy video across, Mix Radio downloads unavailable

Nokia and Microsoft have put themselves squarely back in the smartphone game with the Lumia 800, a lovely handset that's as much a joy to use as it is to look at. Main review: Nokia used to rule the mobile phone market. In fact, the company is still the ...
Excellent styling; really responsive display; free sat nav, top social network and email facilities; Nokia Maps beats Bing Maps handsdown
Disappointing snapper; Windows apps are way behind the choices available for iOS and Android users
The Nokia Lumia 800 is definitely Nokia's best handset for some time – it benefits from the inclusion of Windows Phone 7, but the mediocre snapper and lack of apps will be a letdown for many...
Some commentators may have bemoaned the lack of experimentation with the Nokia Lumia 800, citing that we’d seen the design already. That said, Nokia hit universal praise for the look and feel of the Nokia N9 only four short months ago, so those who are...
Let's cut to the point: The Nokia Lumia 800 is arguably the best Nokia smartphone we've ever seen. It features the same amazing design as the Nokia N9, with a uni-body design that matches the Apple iPhone 4S for design and quality – and it also features a stunning bright, colourful and sharp screen. The 3.7-inch display gets Nokia's CBD (ClearBlack Display) technology to boost colour reproduction
It's not all good, however. The biggest problem with the Nokia Lumia 800 is the lack of applications for the Windows Phone operating system. It's getting better all the time, granted, but it's still not a patch on Android or iOS.
If apps are what sells a phone to you, then you should hold off on buying the Nokia Lumia 800. It's more than capable of competing in any other area, however, proving easy to use, attractive and well made. We like it! Nokia Lumia 800 is tagged with No...
The Nokia Lumia 800 is by far one of the best looking Windows Phone 7 smartphones we’ve seen so far, but its allure is diluted somewhat by its fuzzy PenTile matrix display and an unlocked price that puts it in the same territory as the iPhone 4S. ...
Beautiful design, Amoled screen, free Nokia music and navigation apps, reasonable battery life
No Adobe Flash support, no micro-SD card slot
Nokia's comeback is off to a good start with the Lumia 800. The high-end specifications and unique services help to make it the best Windows Phone handset available and a worthy alternative to Apple and Samsung devices....
Aesthetics aside, the speed and ease of use of the Lumia 800 – and the remarkable People application – make this a very attractive alternative to the iPhone. Even if you don’t do much social networking, it’s nice to have communications and events aggr...

There’s no getting past the fact, then, that the Lumia 800 is no match for the best of the Android set or even the iPhone 4S. It isn’t quite the performance beast we were expecting, nor is the screen up there with the very best, and we’re disappointed ...
