I love it! They should sell well due to the colors, if anything. So many people are tired of the boring black that's why we go crazy even for a white phone. Personally, I wouldn't want baby blue but hey, maybe they'll have better colors when it comes to America.

The most beatiful phone ever!!!!

Seriously guys...most of end users are idiots manipulated by manufacturers. Do you really need dual/quad cores, gigs of ram, 5 inch display in super duper hiper ultra technology?
Progress is good but it is used to make money.
What else could you possibly want from you very own phone?
It has great maps, good camera (do you really need sth more than 720p 30fps??? I don't think so), looks really hot, great and big (enough big!) display, good grip I suppose (do you think that 8 mm 4,5 inch display slab is comfy to hold it???), double cancel microphone to ensure that you you are being heard by others, good build quality without "cranks" and debris inside. It's A PHONE dammit! Not ultra computer.

Should fly off the shelves where the Nokia name is still respected. At times like this, I miss Peter from Sweden. He was so sure Nokia and Windows would flop....

I like it, but I'm afraid that even if it makes it to the US, it will be under-promoted and collecting dust at some remote counter at your local T-Mobile.

All well and good - I've always stood by Nokia as a USA customer. Valued the unlocked smartphones, phone sizes, OVI Maps directional guidance, the features, capacity, and resourcefulness.

Not happy with Nokia ditching USA market on store availability, unkept promise of music download site, and inability to improve upon their flagships rather than to create new products with same features. (N95-5 could've surpassed Iphone5 by now.)

If OVI maps voice navigation fails to integrate with bluetooth car kits during (mandatory regulations) hand-free driving, how would this be proactive advancement?

Considering Android.

When I left Nokia for SE a few years ago, I never looked back, not until now.
Although I love my android, but I'm also interested in WP7.5.
So I'm loving this "marriage" between WP7.5 and Nokia.

Nokia here I come ! I'm coming home, baby! LOL!

The USA gets Nokia 710 crap phone. check the Nokia USA website. Europe and Asia get the good phone the Nokia 800. Nokia still shuns the US market. I won't be buying the 710.

Once again Nokia shafts the US markets. Check out the crap phone they are providing to the US consumer, the Lumia 701 hahah what a joke of a phone, 2009 specs.

How does a Clear Black AMOLED display compare to a Super AMOLED display?

i had my first android phone for about 2/3 weeks before i switched to a WP7 phone. i was skeptic because it didnt seem like WP7 can do much customization. but i got the htc surround anyways and it was an great phone, granted the slide out speaker was quite useless but it was a big plus to a mobile phone. the people hub was great fun to use, the app store had a couple addicting games. camera got the job done. what i like most about WP7 was the portrait QWERTY keyboard. very easy and fun to use. but it did had a few glitches here and there being that WP7 launched with htc surround along a few other phones. so i decided to switch to the Nokia N8, and give time for WP7 to mature a little bit more. now i can't wait to get my hands on WP7 again. but Meego on the Nokia N9 looks fantastic. its gonna be a tough choice for me...

Yes it's that time of the year for Nokia to screw the US by offering them there new line of toy phones the 710. Why would anyone buy the 710. Maybe the 800...but opps sorry thats not available for the USA. Here is what the USA gets. THE AMAZING NOKIA 710 HAHAHAH WHAT A JOKE.

I would BUY THIS PHONE IF IT HAVE MEEGO. But they sold themselves out to M$

so ms and Nokia bet the farm on this? Wow.....good luck. If Nokia built android phones like this I think they would make a bigger splash in the market. Its a very attractive phone that i would probably buy if it ran android. Oh well Samsung got it right with my gs2.

Why do people always seem to want something as soon as they cant have it anymore? (MeegO, HPtouchpads, ETC). Maybe its true that these products didnt have a fair chance to shine, but you guys aren't giving WP a chance to shine either.

I know.

It is a disposable phone.

Nokia usually makes cheap merchandise.

They always disappoint me.

If you buy Nokia, You must make a donation to Nokia. :-(


I'm waiting for Galaxy S3 or Iphone 5.

I prefer the N9 even tough meego is literally dead

Slight mistake in your copy, the 800 has quadband 3G, its the N9 that has pentaband.

43. dansus posted on 28 Oct 2011, 22:31 0 0

Meego (Harmattan) is far from dead.

fantastic phone .
i think nokia is gonna rule the smartphone universe once again with microsoft.

Ask uncle google. Every single phone with android system must be paid. And MS is the one who gets the money.
That's fact.
Ps. It's all about patents. This company wants to be at war. Other company wants to earn money. Simple choice.

"Our one criticism would be that the capacitive buttons being embedded below the screen look like a bit of an after-thought, looking less refined than the N9." - Phone Arena.

I couldn't agree more. There is a spoilt screen estate with the display in nokia 800 reduced to a mere 3.7" versus the 3.9" screen of the N9. The N800 could still span the same screen estate and then utilize the bare area of the black area below as the location of the capacitive buttons. this could have resulted to a more "floating" effect.

It' s already tedious typing on a 4.0" screen, I could only imagine portrait typing on the narrow screen of the nokia lumia 800.

hope Tmobile USA gets this bad boy" too bad Nokia did not go for the dual core,xenon flash and front camera to put this baby on top of the line, WP7 is already catching up with IOS of not already there" with the exception of the apps, really liking windows phone 7 with my mango update on my unlocked Mozart" too bad I can not get 3g conection here in the US but still love it, hope to see more of Nokia and WP7 os, and the addition of animations or setup styles to the live tiles
