The smartphone, which was positioned as Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone device, also faced somesoftware glitches post launch, though the impact was minimal in India. The Lumia 800 received its first price cut in March this year and was made available for Rs. 23,790.


The Nokia Lumia 800 features a premium polycarbonate uni-body design.The phone is powered by a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with  512 MB RAM. It sports a Clear Black AMOLED display with a WVGA resolution of 800×480 and an 8MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics.  The phone also features 16GB of internal storage as well as a unique curved glass display.


The Nokia Lumia 800 runs on Windows Phone 7.5 and is expected to receive a Windows Phone 7.8 update soon. The company announced a software update for the Lumia 800 in June that enabled users to share their 3G data connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices. It also brought flip-to-silence, that allowed users to turn their phone face down to mute all incoming phone calls and alerts. In July, the Finnish handset maker launched The Dark Knight Rises limited edition Lumia 800 in the country.The device came with exclusive trailers, wallpapers, movie information, ringtones, and a game in which users could defend Gotham City. Nokia recently launched the Lumia 510 in India, which is “the cheapest Lumia device in the world”, expectedly priced at less than Rs. 11,000. It is a successor to the Lumia 610 that was announced in July this year that was priced at Rs. 12,999.
