Darnit Nokia, we were rooting<\/a> for you!<\/p>\n

Unless you’ve been sleeping under a rock (in which case, ouch) , you picked up on Nokia’s announcement of their first Windows Mobile phones, the Lumia 800 and 710. The 800 manages to look a lot like the previous Nokia flagship, the Meego sporting N9. It’s actually .2 inches smaller in the screen department, but that’s negligible, really.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A rare time when size matters not.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 800 has a faster chip, same rear camera, slick design, 16GB internal storage (caveat: the N9 also comes in a 64 GB flavor).<\/p>\n

What the 800 is lacking is a front-facing camera, which is baffling when you consider that Microsoft, the OS maker, also owns Skype. That should be some killer synergy. Also, you can’t use it as USB storage<\/a>. Boo! TV out is less of a killer app, but not being able to use your phone as your flash drive is seriously going to cramp some people’s style. Also puzzling is Nokia’s bundling Nokia Music. Is there no Zune store in the European Union?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Pretty, but powerful enough?<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s also lacking a timeframe for a U.S. touchdown. I know we’re not the center of the universe (shock!) but it’d be nice.\u00a0 The Lumia 710 already has a landing page<\/a> on Nokia US, but no details beyond that. No news on a network yet either, but if I had to put money down on which of the two US GSM networks it’d be on, I’d guess AT&T (c’mon T-Mobile, shock me).<\/p>\n

I like the Lumina 800’s styling. It was cool when it was the N9’s look and it’s cool now. It stands out and looks like more than Just Another Slab. However, if I have a choice between this or almost any upcoming Windows Mobile Phone from Samsung or HTC, I can’t say I’d chose this. Although I’m dying to be proven wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
