As Best Mobile Phones Pro is yet to get a review unit, why not have a look at what some of our fellow technology websites have said about the Nokia Lumia 800:

Ars Technica:

Nokia Lumia 800Hands-on: Nokia’s Lumia 800 is exactly what Microsoft, Windows Phone 7 need

Whilst Ars Technica haven’t uploaded their full review yet, their hands on preview at last week’s Nokia World conference is quite comprehensive if you want a quick look at the new handset.

Gizmodo:

Gizmodo Nokia Lumia 800Nokia Lumia 800 Lightning Review: A Wolf In the N9′s Clothing

It’s rather nice to see Gizmodo write a rather glowing review for a phone that’s not the iPhone. It’s especially handy that they point out some shortcomings I’ve seen other reviewers overlook.

Engadget:

Engadget - Nokia Lumia 800Nokia Lumia 800 review

I’m quite a fan of the reviews Engadget have carried out, as they usually are the ones to carry out quite a comprehensive walkthrough of what’s good and what’s not. I’d definately recommend reading if it you want to view a video walking you through the device and it’s interface.

The Verge:

The Verge - Nokia Lumia 800Nokia Lumia 800 review

The Verge may be a newcomer to the techblogosphere, but with former Engadget editor Joshua Topolsky at the helm, it’s turning out to be a rather good source for the latest technological developments.

With a review as thorough as Engadgets, it’s a great one to read if you’re looking for some gadget porn to feast over.

Feel free to let us know which you feel was the best review of the brand new Nokia Lumia 800 in the comments below, as we’d like to try provide you with a comprehensive look at the latest handsets.

    It’s been 4 years since the introduction of the iPhone and it’s easy to see what impression it’s left on what was an industry sector that had just settled down. Mobile phones were just on the cusp of providing users with instant, fast and constant data connections whilst touchscreen technology had just entered the marketplace. The iPhone arrived and shook up what consumers were expecting, providing them with features they wanted, rather than ones manufacturers thought they ‘needed’. One constant [...]
