Nokia and windows phone revive by release Nokia Lumia series. The Nokia Lumia 800 is the first in a new range of smart phones to offer the latest Windows Phone 7.5 operating system known as the Mango, this fluid feeling software allows the user to personalise their home screen using ‘Live Tiles’ which constantly update with the latest information such as incoming messages and calls, weather and news reports, emails, social networking updates and many other services.
Smartphone market is still being dominated by Google’s Android platform and Apple’s iOS; together they control over 75% of the total smartphone market share. However, Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 operating system intends to steal some of the two mobile giants’ users away with its critically acclaimed and uniquely designed interface. Microsoft began releasing full touch-screen smartphones around the same time as Google and Apple, but their early devices were no match for the usability of Androids or iPhones. With Mango, the most recent update released for WP7, Microsoft’s mobile platform is as visually impressive, high-powered, and user-friendly as any Android or iOS device.
The Nokia Lumia 800 features a ClearBlack scratch-resistant display for outstanding outdoor viewing and a Qualcomm 1.4 GHz Snapdragon single-core processor, providing speedy access to entertainment and information on-the-go. You’ll get one-click access to popular services such as Netflix, ESPN, and T-Mobile TV, as well as an excellent mobile Web experience with Internet Explorer Mobile, Bing Search with voice activation, and Local Scout for locally relevant search results.
