Nokia Lumia Updates

Nokia India has finally begun pre orders for the Nokia Lumia 800 in India !



I'm very excited to finally order my own Nokia 800.. tried it at the store and it is a gorgeous handset.

The preorder link is : Book the new Nokia Lumia 800

how many new sites would Nokia launch? 😕

grr...how much is it fr.. nt less than 30000-34000.? 🙁

why would i pre-order something when i don''t know how much will it cost me? 😕i also read somewhere indian version won't have Nokia music app.

i do not think this form is for actual booking the model. they do not seem to be asking you to pay a booking amount. without that this is just a subscription form to get updates (and possible spam) on your mail account.

How much is the price for this?

I guess around 28-30k.

At that price point, wouldn't the Galaxy SII or the Sensation be better options? The Lumia 800 has a single core CPU, 512MB RAM, no front facing camera - this puts it at a disadvantage against the other two flagship phones. Also, once ICS starts rolling out to more Android phones, that'll be yet another disadvantage for the Lumia.

[h=3]Main disadvantages[/h]

[*]Display is much dimmer than the N9's display
[*]No Flash or Silverlight support in browser
[*]No USB mass storage (file management and sync pass only through Zune)
[*]No video calls and no front-facing camera either
[*]Non-user-replaceable battery
[*]No memory card slot (and no 64GB version like the N9)
[*]microSIM card slot
[*]No native DivX/XviD support, videos have to be transcoded by Zune

^ Isn't that what iPhone does too?

it is a matter of what operating system you want.

well you can buy a Galaxy s 2 in the same price. and frankly speaking... s2 is a much better device for that price. of course... it is personal choice whether you like android or not. s
