Nokia's first smart phone to run the latest Windows Phone 7 operating system has now been released on Pay As You Go deals, the Nokia Lumia 800 was initially launched on contract deals from Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2, Orange, Talk Mobile and most recently 3 Mobile but this is the first time that this new handset has been offered without any long-term commitment.
The Nokia Lumia 800 on Pay As You Go allows consumers who do not like to sign up to lengthy contract deals to own this new phone and then simply 'top up' their calling credit when needed, the prepay Nokia Lumia is also ideal for those that cannot pass the strict network credit checks for pay monthly offers as there are none to get past when buying a prepay phone.
3 Mobile have launched the Nokia Lumia 800 on pay as you go with an asking price of £399.99, that's a full £100 cheaper than both the latest iOS5 powered iPhone 4S and Android 4.0 driven Samsung Galaxy Nexus but this new Nokia runs on the latest Windows 7 operating system known as the Mango edition so what does it offer in comparison?
The Windows operating software of the Nokia Lumia 800 uses a new 'Live Tiles' set-up on the main home screen which the user can personalise with their favourite and most important information such as incoming messages and emails, weather and news reports, short cuts to pictures and videos plus social networking features that constantly update whilst the phone is turned on.
There is also comprehensive support for Microsoft's mobile titles such as outlook for email and office for documents plus access to the new Microsoft 'Skydrive' remote storage service which users can utilise to upload up to 25GB of data to save on the internal phone memory of 16GB.
The main touch screen of the new Nokia Lumia measures 3.7 inches and uses AMOLED and 'ClearBlack' technology for a vibrant, crisp and sharp display, the curved edges of this screen almost seem to vanish into the sides of the casing creating a very minimalistic design to the phone with a tapered top and bottom to the casing.
Although not as fast as the top-end new smart phones such as the HTC Sensation XE with its dual core 1.5GHz processor or the Samsung Galaxy Note's 1.4GHz dual core chip the single core 1.4GHz processor of the Nokia Lumia does produce smooth and fast results and with a smaller screen than its competitors the main power is directed to running multiple applications and the user interface.
This latest release of the Nokia Lumia 800 on Pay As You Go deals leaves just one further launch for the handset, this is the availability of the phone as a SIM free and unlocked unit with no network connection which should take place very soon.
