Nokia 800 And 710 are now
up for pre-order at the
nokia priority dealers across
the country
Nokia Lumia 800 is arriving in
India. The highly anticipated
phone which was launched
last month has stirred the
curiosity of the mobile users
across the country.
According to recent news,
the Nokia Priority Dealers
have started taking pre-
orders for both Nokia Lumia
800 and 701. The users can
simply visit the Nokia priority
dealers and pay a booking
amount of Rs 1,000 for both
Lumia 710 and 800. The
booking amount would vary
from Rs 500 to Rs 3000 at
different stores across the
country. Announced last
month both the smartphones
are expected to hit the
markets by the middle of
December.
Priced at Rs 29,000, Nokia
Lumia 800 is a powerful
device that bears
resemblance to the Nokia N9.
The Windows phone 7
smartphone is embedded
with strong 1.4 GHz processor
and packs in an impressive 8-
megapixel primary camera
and Carl Zeiss optics lens for
clear images. There is also a
front facing camera for video
chatting and calling. The
device also sports a clear
black 3.7-inch impressive
touchscreen display,
supporting 480 x 800 pixels
resolution and comes with a
NFC support. On the video
front, the device doesn't fail
to impress you either. With a
720p HD video recording
capabilities, 512 MB of RAM
and a slew of exciting
features it is not without a
reason that CEO Stephon Elop,
has branded it as the "first
real Windows phone."
Giving company to the Nokia
Lumia 800 is the Nokia 710.
Priced at Rs 19,000, the
Lumia 710 is quite unlike its
premium sibling.The major
point of difference being the
built. Lumia 710 supports a
plasticky built, in fact from
the rear battery cover, to the
buttons below the screen,
everything is plastic. The
front of the device is
dominated by a 3.7-inch
ClearBlack display, while the
the rear of the smartphone
packs a 5-megapixel camera
(no Carl Zeiss camera). The
processor remains the same
at 1.4GHz and features a
expandable storage (up to
8GB) via its microSD card
slot.The device also comes
preloaded with Nokia Drive
navigation, the Nokia Music
and Mix service, plus ESPN's
Sports Hub.
With Lumia 800 and 710,
Nokia has definitely stepped
up its game. However
competition is anything but
easy with Nokia 800
competing with BlackBerry
Curve 9360,Samsung galaxy
S2, Optimus 2X, BlackBerry
Bold 3 9780, Dell Venue and
Micromax A85 Superefone.
Things are not rosy for Lumia
710 either. The smartphone
will be battling it out with
Sony Ericsson Xperia active
ST17i, Motorola Defy Plus,
HTC ChaCha, Samsung Omnia
W and HTC Radar.
