Saint-scooby Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 Anyone got one ? Been offered one as a free upgrade..
Hatch Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 I've had the 800 for the past 18 months or so, I really like it. Saying that, not getting Nokia next time though.
Colinjb Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 Dad has a Lumia 610. The base model. As far as i'm concerned it's the best budget phone on the market. The window's operating system is the easiest to use i've come across, even better then Apple OS and far, far better then Android. I can't comment on the higher spec hardware and it's build quality but I have been very tempted to switch over to a Lumia from my Galaxy S3.
SO16_Saint Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 I have the 800 as a work phone. As a business tool, it is good - you have access to the full Office suite, and can edit etc word/excel. As a 'play' thing - i dont like it. The apps are gash, market place has about 4 apps, all made by what looks like 7 year olds. The facebook and Twitter apps are sh1te, and tapatalk isn't available. each to their own, but it's a thumbs down from me
solentstars Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 my mates got one and uses it has a business tool and he thinks it great,looks great to me and has usual they are good quality on the build of their phones.

The facebook and Twitter apps are sh1te, and tapatalk isn't available. each to their own, but it's a thumbs down from me As you say, each to their own. Most of the apps I want are there (Italian train times, London Tube, English dictionary with sound, British Airways, meteo, maps, notes, recorder, skype, Tom and Jerry!!, TuneIn Radio etc. I couldn't give a stuff about Facebook or Twitter. Tapatalk is available although I haven't used it. Worth a look, I'd say.
egg Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 I've just switched back to iPhone after having a lumia for the last year. Before that I was an android man. Windows phone is far and away the best os. The hardware is fantastic as is the Nokia software such as the sat nav with free maps. The downside. There is a lack of apps which is only an issue if you like to download all sorts of crap. I do so that was an issue. There are apps for just about everything you would like though and they're fine, it's just that you don't have a million apps that do the same thing like the others.
dronskisaint Posted 18 March, 2013 Posted 18 March, 2013 Going to add the 800 to the 610 I already have...I'm impressed with how easy and logical it is it is and the Windows stuff is all compatible with my other systems. I'm totally non-technical so it must be easy if that's a plus for your needs!
Lord Duckhunter Posted 19 March, 2013 Posted 19 March, 2013 I have a 610, it's great for a dinosaur like me. OS is simple and easy to use, zune is pretty decent, office great and the half dozen or so apps I need do the job. The downsides are the camera's not great and it doesn't have enough memory for all my music.
egg Posted 19 March, 2013 Posted 19 March, 2013 Anyone with a 610 need a replacement back battery cover in black? Ordered in error. Pm me if interested.
Colinjb Posted 19 March, 2013 Posted 19 March, 2013 You are mental. Only tempted.... I didn't follow it up. The ideal would be the build quality of an iPhone, with Windows operating system, S3 hardware specs and an amalgamation of the android/apple app store.

The ideal would be the build quality of an iPhone, with Windows operating system, S3 hardware specs and an amalgamation of the android/apple app store. Fair enough. Can't say I'm a huge fan of windows os although I prefer it to apple
Saint_Jonny Posted 19 March, 2013 Posted 19 March, 2013 Yup I've got a red 920 and I love it. Solid as a rock, snappy fluid OS and great native apps.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 Fair enough. Can't say I'm a huge fan of windows os although I prefer it to apple I'm telling Essruu.
hypochondriac Posted 21 March, 2013 Posted 21 March, 2013 I'm telling Essruu. Just incredibly bored with IOS. No doubt they will have to make big changes to IOS7. They need to.
toofarnorth Posted 23 March, 2013 Posted 23 March, 2013 I have a 620. Only thing i don't like is the camera button. Otherwise very impressed.
Hatch Posted 9 April, 2013 Posted 9 April, 2013 my Nokia Lumia 800 seems to have died today Was listening to the radio via Tunein app, or was trying to , and all of a sudden everything just closed down and phone turned off. Battery was fully charged. Nothing I can do to turn it back on. I have tried the re-set buttons. Nothing.
