First impressions of Nokia phone:

The first thing I noticed when opening the box was the phone was small. Screen seems much smaller than the Samsung. Also, it is heavier and thicker. I think the extra weight comes from the glass which seems very tough and solid, so I will not use a screen cover on this phone.

Case : I cannot open it to replace the battery.

Camera : It has a Carl Zeiss lens, which I believe is a good thing, although after taking some photos I have come to realise that the camera is not very good. It does not focus well at all. At first I thought it was because the camera was in macro mode (which seemed to be the default), but after changing it, it was no better. Very disappointing.

Sim Card : Requires a micro sim, like the iPhone 4, so I had to take a pair of scissors to my T-Mobile sim card and buy an adapter so I can switch between phones.

SD Card : No way to add extra storage via an SD card.

Display : Nice display. Good colours. Smooth and responsive.

History :

I have used Android since the first phone, the G1 and have been very happy with it. I have had the Samsung Galaxy S2 since April 2011 and it has been a fantastic phone. So this is written from the point of view of someone who is very used to Android.

I have started this blog to document my experiences with my new Nokia Lumia 800 phone which has been given to me on the condition I use it for 6 months. It seems the idea is to convince me that I no longer need an Android phone and that Windows Mobile 7 is better.
