The Nokia Lumia 800 makes it easy to stay connected with friends, family and colleagues through its People Hub, which displays data from various messaging formats and social networking services in a single intuitive interface. This application is part of the Windows Phone Mango operating system, which is the platform of choice for the Nokia Lumia 800 and also its stable companion the Lumia 900.
The Nokia Lumia 800 also offers a number of impressive features, which are made very easy to use thanks to Microsoft’s intuitive platform. The interface of this software is organized in a tile format which is the signature interface of today’s Windows Phone devices. These tiles offer live updates when appropriate, such as displaying missed calls, text messages, and unread emails, as well as social media notifications from popular services like Facebook and Twitter. The Nokia Lumia 800 comes equipped with an 8 megapixel camera on the rear of the device along with a secondary front camera for video calls. With Carl Zeiss optics and high definition video capture, the Lumia 800 is capable of taking on even high-end camera phones, adding to its overall appeal.
People Hub works by displaying your contacts in alphabetical order regardless of what format they are saved in. For example, all your phonebook contacts, Facebook friends, and email contacts will be displayed in a single interface. If a contact is present in more than one format, then you will have the option to select the method through which you want to contact them, which is very convenient since you do not have to open the appropriate application to create a new message / phone call.
In addition, all correspondence with a single contact can be viewed in time order, regardless of the messaging format. For example, all Facebook messages, text messages, and tweets will be displayed in a single interface. By integrating these services into a single app, you essentially don’t need to use the standalone versions, unless it’s to start a new message thread, which of course can be done using People Hub and its built-in contact lists.
The Nokia Lumia 800 is a great example of the “new” Nokia. The company has recently seen a drop in sales, but with impressive smartphones like the Lumia 800, it looks set to turn its fortunes, slowly returning to its former glory and impressive sales statistics. With its sleek styling and easy-to-use software, the Nokia Lumia 800 is a great all-round smartphone. If you are looking for an alternative to the ever popular Android and Apple smartphones, the Nokia Lumia 800 would be my top recommendation.
