It is not that easy to write a review.
This is most especially true if you are writing about the Nokia Lumia 800.
So what made me say this? Well, there is the design factor which is quite familiar.
There are also the new features that are now bundled into this phone.
Yes, this handset may have the same outer appearance or design like Nokia's first and only MeeGo handset the N9, but this handset will surprise you from the inside out.

Just ignore the fact that it used an old design and focus on bigger stuff like software.
Let us start with the phone's new Operating System.

The phone's curved screen is also a huge and welcomed addition to this design.
Overall, the phone's ergonomics and weight balance will give you that modern technology feel and look.
