Nokia Lumia 800


Nokia Lumia 800 (codenamed 'Sea Ray') is a Windows Phone-OS powered smartphone, first unveiled on 26 October 2011 at the Nokia World 2011 event.[4] It was Nokia's first mobile phone to run the Windows Phone OS and marked the company's shift of focus in favor of Windows Phone for its premium priced phones.
Lumia 800 shares its design with the previously released Meego-based Nokia N9. The outward differences are one added physical button dedicated to the camera on the right side of the phone, and a dual LED flash moved directly above the Carl Zeiss camera lens.[5] Despite a similar exterior, the Lumia 800 has a different interior than N9. Lumia 800's chipset comes from Qualcomm, whereby N9 is based on a Texas Instruments chipset and CPU.[6][7]
Like the N9, it has a convex curved Gorilla Glass AMOLED PenTile screen with a ClearBlack antiglare filter. The screen diagonal is 3.7 inches (800 x 480 pixels) compared with 3.9 inches (854 x 480 pixels) for N9, to conform with the Windows Phone specifications list, which includes three capacitive softkeys placed under the glass. A trough-colored unibody shell is made from polycarbonate plastic.[1]
Nokia outsourced the production of its Qualcomm-based Lumia 800 to Compal Electronics. According to Nokia, this was due to time constraints and Compal's experience with the chipset. Future models, starting from Lumia 710, would be built in a Nokia factory, according to the same source.[6] Devices for the European and Northern American markets are configured, tested and packed by Nokia's factory in Salo, Finland.[8]
On January 9, 2012, Nokia Lumia 900 was announced as a parallel model with a gyroscope[9], LTE support, a larger display, front-facing camera for video conferencing, and its main (back) camera improved for focus and color balance

Software

The Lumia 800 device comes with four Nokia-exclusive applications not included by the default Windows Phone OS: Nokia Drive, a free turn-by-turn navigation system; Nokia Maps; Nokia Music, a free streaming music service and music store; and App Highlights, a service suggesting software based on location and operator. In addition to these applications and services, Microsoft themselves have added Office 365, in which the user can edit documents, create spreadsheets, open PowerPoint presentations, and even make OneNote files. The files created can be stored on Microsoft's SkyDrive cloud service, on the phone itself, and other areas.[11] The Lumia 800, despite the joint cooperation of Nokia and Microsoft, lacks some standard functionality presented by default on Mango, including Internet Sharing, which prevents the use of the device for tethering.

Nokia Collection

In addition to factory-installed Nokia-exclusive Windows Phone applications, the Windows Phone Marketplace contains a Nokia Collection section.[12] As of April 2012 it contains the following additional applications: Nokia Transport, a location-aware public transport schedule and navigation application; Creative Studio, a photo editing application; TuneIn Radio, a local and global radio streaming application; CNN, a news reader and video viewer for the Cable News Network; and WRC Live, an application to follow live timing and media from the FIA WRC series.[13]

Diagnostic Tool

Just like the Lumia 900, the 800 has the diagnostic tool.
It can be obtained by pressing ##634# on the dial keypad, which should initiate the download after the last # is pressed. The diagnostic tool should appear on the app list under Diagnostics.
On this diagnostic tool a user can run tests on the following: Accelerometer, ALS, audio loopback, camera, battery status, DTMF, gyroscope, hardware buttons, headset detection, LCD white, lights, life timer, magnetometer, power source, proximity, speaker, touch and vibration. It's also possible to perform all the tests in one run.
Note: This app does not harm the phone, it's just a hidden app Nokia forgot to mention in the owner's guide. The app can be uninstalled if a user chooses to do so.[14][15]

Series Name

The series name Lumia is the plural form of the word Lumi, which is Finnish, means 'snow'.

Release

The Lumia 800 device was presented along with Lumia 710 by Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop at the Nokia World conference in London October 2011. In the presentation referred to their devices as 'the first real Windows Phones'.[16]
The London launch was promoted with a massive sound and light show. Nokia and Canadian-based DJ deadmau5 illuminated the banks of the River Thames and the Millbank Tower with a state-of-the-art music and laser show. According to The Daily Telegraph, "The 118 metre building was turned into a canvas for a state-of-the-art light show during which the London skyscraper seemed to buckle and twist"
