Is it worth? - Nokia Lumia 800

I ppl
I'm considering to buy a Nokia Lumia 800 for 99.90€ + 900 from my mobile carrier.
I don't know very much Windows Phone OS and I know that's it won't be an WP8 upgrade...only 7.8.
I have a HTC Tattoo...and I like Android OS (I have also a Zte Blade @ 4.1.2)
Is it worth that value? Yesterday I played an Lumia 800 on a store and the phone is beautiful and the OS is very, very smooth and fast.
Cheers :beer:
And sorry my poor English...

Worth Buying ??
I too want to know the same . In India it now comes at a very tempting price of 17.5k after huge price cut . The phone looks beautiful . But the only concern i have is that with the launch of WP8 ... I'll be left behind . But considering the price this phone is a VFM . Worth buying as of now ??

[Q] Hard choice... Please write your opinion.

I think it is time to get new PDA!
I have think about HTC HD2 and HTC Desire. Question for thous who have used HD2, Desire or other similar mobile devices.
Of course Desire use Android OS 2.1 but HD2 use Windows Mobile 6.5. I have expirience only on WM because now I have HTC TyTn.
I want now which is moust customizable, which one have the best soft etc..?
I also now what now on HD2 you can do dual boot with WM and Andorid OS. So maybe it is worth to buy HD2. Also if you sugest me to buy other PDA please levae a comment with reason why..
Personally I'd wait for the hd3 there is no official release date but sometime in 2010 I would imagine.
Any technical spec for the HD3 aka HD7 yet? or should we in the USA wait and see what happens. Hence the EU-Leo512 and US-Leo1024, also not a big fan of panzy looking WM7 theme. I mean WTF is up with that? does M$ think that we are retarded or something? WTF is up with 4 square sectors? feels like I'm making an GUI panel in Java.
Hahaha (four square sectors) calm down man.. nothing official just speculation flying around getting people excited.why is it that the EU model get less ram than the US plus the US got the Evo!! What really peed me off was not getting wm7 upgrade on the hd2!

Same here man.... really sad about that
Hope the geniuses at XDA can work something out
So if new HD3 comes out it will cost much more. And old HD2 will start to die. Also after about year there will be new phone.
So tell me.. Do you bought this phone with some operator plan or from hand or in reguular shop? Used or new?
Get an HD2 and run the desire 2.2 update ROM on it. Best of both worlds and much cheaper too

I'm welling to pay up to $750 for HD7 if it grantees no BS EU/US version difference. Also WTF is it released on UK? Still waiting for spec sheet hope they deeply Qualcomm's dual core proc clocked at 1.3ghz and at least have 1gb ram. Far as NAND goes I'm happy with 1gb but hmmm i hear no micro sdhc support for WM7 is that true? If so M$ should be wiped out with there POS platform. Not big fan of iOS/Android but it would still be better than M$ if they are dumb enough to isolate there core users who actually knows howto operate it.

Gonna buy a new phone

What phone is the best? My bugdet is 300 Euros. Please help.
For 395 you can get the Samsung Nexus unbranded. For 300 and best one, well you can see ebay.
I went from x8 to Xperia Play, no regrets. There are many superior phones, but for your budget you cant have the best ones. I also had 300 euros so I considered play and arc s, I'm a sony fanboy yes. In my opinion arc s is the best choice out of those two, but I really value the fisical controls pad, it is so much better than gaming on sceen!
I would buy Xperia S but I don't have that much money

Dell Venue is the best, and I am also planning to have Venue, the 4" screen, 8MP camera...
You should have a loot at it.
I heard Alcatel launced a really good and cheap phone: Alcatel One Touch 995 (OT-995). It offers a 1,4 Ghz single-core processor, a screen of 4,3 inch, a 5 megapixel camera, and a great back (in my opinion). If you buy the phone seperately, it will only cost you around $240. Well, I live in the Netherland, and here, it's really cheap for such a nice phone
My Samsung Galaxy Gio just died yesterday, so I might pick up one soon The only sad thing is there's not a XDA forum-section for that phone yet, so searching for ROMs will take some more time...
buy whatever brand you want but dont get a single core
buy samsung galaxy s2 (a bit more than your budget, i know its a budget but still)
or lg p990 or wait for gs3
then these will go down in price, just one or two months
ohh you already have p990, wait for quadcore dude or buy gs2
Depending on the 3g network frequency your carrier uses i would recommend a samsung galaxy s captivate (230$) or motorola atrix (340$) but before you buy any phone check the hsdpa/wcdma frequency

Should i buy a lumia?

Hi guys,
I'm an owner of a lg optimus 3D and i hate it!
So i'm thinking about lumia 800...
But what will i lose from android to Windows phone?
I read about battery problems , ad they bene fixed with update?
Are custom roms usefull?
I had never used zune, can i copy my music folder or its 's horrible like itunes?
Please, if lyou love/hate this phone tell me why so i can choose
Thanks a lot
It's not a bad device, but WP is still in the early stage (in comparison to Android and iOS).
If you can wait, I would recommend you to wait for WP8.
Custom roms are useful, but it's not as easy on Android.
I like flashing roms on my HTC Desire HD, but I've never done that on my Lumia, because I want to keep my data,like pictures and recorded video in my camera.
There's no way to put it back again after flashing a new rom or restoring/resetting your device.
I really like this phone, but I wouldn't recommend you to do the switch right now. Just save some money and get a WP8 device from Nokia as soon as it comes out, it will be much more worth your money. Just hold on for a few months (hopefully really few) and you won't have regrets. Otherwise if you really can't wait you can always get a Samsung Omnia W aka Focus Flash: it really costs a few bucks and offers similar hardware, not to mention the removable battery, which also lasts longer. Oh, and it has a ffc too. It's easy to unlock, so you won't have issues getting Nokia Drive to work on the device, which is a big plus.

I forgot to tell that I don't wanna buy itbut there's a guy who wanna have an exchange with my p920 by lg,
It could be a nice thing?
Can you guys tell me more about battery plz?
Well, if you don't have to add money on top I guess it's a decent deal. As to battery life I get more or less what I used to get from my GS2, 18 hours average, with average usage...

Should I or shouldn't I
I quite fancy one of these too, but don't think I can wait for a month or three to get one with the no 8 attached. Had a look at the forums, but couldn't see - If I go on a contract, is it possible to unlock the thing? Is that a dodgy idea? should this be a separate thread?
I will say ,go for it.I own an iphone4s,since 6 months, I started looking for a change.Got a lumia 710,its very stable, and os is refreshingly new.I do love NOKIA MUSIC bundled (got 1 year free subscription).

maybe you want to change your lg 3d for lumia 800? i have one, used, in normal condition with no warranty, working offcourse, and with qualcomm bootloader?
pm me if you want to.
yes
WindowsPhone turned out to be good. My priorities are listed as follows in the ascending order:
Meego
Android
Windows
iOs
I dont like being leashed to something, Meego & Android are great. Android has certain inconsistencies wrt looks. The WindowsPhone is better, in that area. The best thing about WindowsPhone is the LiveTiles. It seemed boring & untoughtful in the beginning, then it all made perfect sense after using it for sometime. Its touch is like an 'i' device. But everything is faster & more accessible.
I used to Flash tons of roms on Android. Had a Galaxy Nexus & a SE Arc. Now on WindowsPhone Lumia 710. Loving it.

Lumia 800 or Xperia P

I'm loking for new phone, and it would be my first smarthphone, First i loked at Lumia 710 cause of the price, but now i got some more money and i changed my mind, and and i dont know which to buy, in your exp which is better, are for what reason.
For now i like lumia more because of design and feel in the hand but my worries are about hardware, P has better proc, graphics, ramm....etc
and what about battery life and usage of it, a heard that battery of P is bad.
get a lumia, Xperia P i think will not be getting JB, and also has a very bad battery backup.

Its not like the Lumia is getting WP8 either...

No..Lumia is not getting WP8 because WP8 requires additional hardware..so if u look carefully..WP7.8 is WP8 without the hardware...MS are not promising you WP8 because it cant be delivered without the same hardware..hence they said 7.8!
simple.
If I were you I'd get the Xperia because of the screen, which looks better IMHO. However, if I really were you I wouldn't get an Android, ever again. Anyway picking the 800 now isn't very smart, it's nearly EOL and not as cheap as other equally EOL WP devices. I'd get an Omnia W for the time being...not that fancy but overall it's a better bang for the buck IMHO, and if you're lucky you can also unlock it. Too bad I've lost mine, it was a cool phone for the price.

considering unlocks...u can go for the lumia 710 , which is rooted or just have a wait fro the WP8 !

Lumia510 is a good budget phone?

Hello guys , I am a android user and im using the galaxy y .. which has a small screen and low specs.. I wanted to upgrade to a smartphone which will be reliable for basic tasks: Fb / Wikipedia browsing , Whatsapp , Music and Videos.. So i saw the nokia lumia510 and i loved its display.. dispite people saying its specs r slow.. I still wanna knw frm expert windows users, Is it really bad or is the performance decent enuf to run whatsapp and videos?
You can't compare windows phone like android phones by specs.
Windows phone will work more smooth and fluid on any available configuration compared to android because it is much more optimized.
But better try to get Lumia520 which runs WP8 if the price difference isn't too big because Lumia510 really is very old and it won't get any updates in the future and although the OS would run fine, unoptimized apps would lag.

You cant have WP8 on a 510 or any of the x10 models, too bad you didnt go for the 520, I have it for developing apps and its awesome. Got it for free from T-Mobile in my country, im on a $10 a month plan, it was like the cheapest one I just wanted the free phone
Windows Phones vs Android Phones (customize ability)

I have never used a windows phone and am curious as to the creative aspects.. as in are they customizable with something similar to roms, and can you unlock/root them or some sort of equivalent... I saw a lumia 710 for 30 bucks on craigslist I was thinking of picking up for training purposes however I think it runs 7 not 8 so I dunno I have to post more on here so this is as good a question as any thanks ahead of time

Bump... Talking about devices...
Are there any foreseeable limitations on the up-and-coming latest and greatest devices? When I bought my galaxy S5, I hadn't anticipated it ever being a developer non friendly device as it is today... Or am I missing something. I'm in at&t network with it... It's expected glitchy and I wanted root & custom Rom, but I guess developers gave up on it...
So now, what are the best options for a promising device?
Nokia Lumia 510
