It's quite sad that the only company capable of properly launching something like this are Apple. Say what you like about them but they normally get it spot on.

Ah yes, that's a fair point but other than that, stock-wise, launch speed wise and availability wise they're normally pretty good.

Plus, that was down to genuine manufacturing problems, Nokia are just being silly. :p
 
I just dont think they got enough time from Windows to get this kinda thing sorted, simple as that really.

Kakc, checking my Expansys account and pre-order is says my order is for a black one..umm..no its not..I clearly clicked on teh Cyan version.

Don't forget they can pretty much guarantee they will all sell and can dump a huge quantity on stores, a much riskier proposition for Nokia with Windows Phone I would have thought.

Not blue though?

Didn't notice, fortunately I don't care about the colour so black suited me just fine. ;)
 
Weird thing is I got on so well with my mates I think if teh cyan becomes a bother I would jsut be happy with the Black....jsut the Cyan does look a bit nicer to me. or at least different.

Thank you sir, now I just have to wait for a blue one to appear somewhere, 28th on Vodafone you say?

That's what I have been told. However, its being delivered to the store near my work but I have just remembered I have booked that day off.... LOL :mad::p
 
They clearly didn't anticipate the demand for the blue version - understandable really as most devices these days are black/grey with a white version released later. I'm sure there have been others but there are very few colourful smartphones available.

I think that's why the 710 could actually be a success - it looks a bit ugly but being able to customise the colours is something not really possbile on most smartphones.
 
Well i caved and bought one.

I currently have sitting next to me a Samsung Galaxy S II, Blackberry Bold 9900 and now the Nokia Lumia 800. I also not long ago sold an iPhone 4 so i've pretty much gave all the big players a go.

I have to say i love the Nokia, I like it's one piece styling, i like it's shape, look etc... It may not match the likes of the Samsung for pure power but from a physical point it looks so much better than your typical plastic block Android phone.

For me though the biggest thing is Windows Mobile 7.5 it is superb, so simple yet looks classy and is butter smooth. I am a complete tech geek but when it comes to phones i want simple, stylish and easy to use, this offers me that. The tiles is a great idea and the colour of them against the pitch black is lush.

Setup and tweaking couldn't be easier and any newbie to smart phones should consider Windows as it's that simple.

Compare this to Android which is just a mess in my opinion and everything feels bolted on more than linked together, i can see why they have dual core phones because it needs it. The Nokia feels smoother due to the OS.

I was in two minds whether to go iPhone 4s or this and i'm glad with my choice, i save £100 and it does me plenty.

Also with coming from a Blackberry Bold 990 which i still use i found going back to touch screen a pain, i was forever correcting, deleting words on the Samsung, so much so it would be quicker to send by post. With the Windows phone the keyboard is so much better, i rarely make a mistake and when i do the auto correct is pretty much always right.

A happy customer here and can only see Microsoft and Nokia becoming stronger in the future and that's a good sign for us all.

My only gripe would be no flash support, battery could do with being a bit longer lasting and the camera needs tweaking. Apart from that i love it. The app store will grow vey quickly that i have no doubt.

Hey guys, just to let you know this has appeared on the internal Orange pages regarding this handset. These warnings are only advise we have found to be worth telling after extended use testing and I'm just posting it here because knowledge is power etc... :)
For a more efficient charge of your new Nokia Lumia 800 we recommend you to use the supplied in-box charger. In the event the battery becomes completely discharged, once plugged with the supplied in-box and prior to the device restart, it could display the low battery image for an average of 5 minutes. This image will dissapear and your device will start automatically once the battery is sufficiently charged.

I suspect this is because the newer Nokia charge circuit in the phone is using a min voltage that's slightly higher than normal and the wall charger is a modified one (pin 2/3 fused, 1A circuit maybe?). So if you're ever in this position you now know it's all going to be OK.
 
I tried Emailing nokia as many others have:

Hi. Will the Cyan Blue Nokia Lumia 800 be available from T mobile UK anytime soon?

Also when will this phone have tethering support added to it?

And the same typical automated reply:

Thank you for contacting Nokia Careline.

We appreciate that you have chosen Nokia as your preferred device. In response to your email regarding when will the Cyan Blue Nokia Lumia available from T-mobile, please be informed that the release of available colors of Nokia Lumia devices is per batch and we are unable to provide you a specific date for it. We suggest that you contact your network provider regarding this matter.

With regards to the tethering support, please be advised that Microsoft takes very seriously meeting (and exceeding) the requirements outlined by agencies such as the FCC in the USA. They felt it was really important to fully address the concerns raised by recent FCC regulations before enabling this feature and are optimistic they can deliver on these requirements though a software update and are working diligently on that now.

Kindly give us a feedback if the given information above were helpful to you. If you have any other concerns that we can help you with, please do not hesitate to send us an email again.

I take it that people are pre-ordering sim free cyan ones at over £400?
If its the black one then you are mental.

Three have them in black,in stock at £399.99 plus top up. They are unlocked.
 
As I've not got one at the moment, how does the Lumia do with battery drain when listening to music? My SGS2 obliterates the battery which is getting a little frustrating to say the least.
 
Sorry guys I have bought all the blue ones....
