The design of the phone reminds me of the old iPod mini (maybe it's just the color). It looks good, and I like the head phones made in the same style.

It's a great form factor, I like it very much -- it feels slimmer than the iPhone: http://versusio.com/en/nokia-lumia-800-vs-apple-iphone-4s-64... (click at the top right to view the phones in original size)

I'd love it with a different OS

Glad to see plastic making a comeback. Glass and metal was getting a bit boring.

Anyone actually managed to find a link to pre-order?

Interesting how it has only 0.5GB of RAM. Is this meant to be Nokia's flagship Windows Phone product?

As an aside, I still think Apple got it right with the single hardware "home" button vs the three in WP7 and Android.

Why different OS? WP7 is a great system.

You can have it with Meego, as the N9. It's almost exactly the same hardware (the N9 has an additional button).

What needs more than half a gig? The 4S copes. Going up to 1GB adds an unnecessary $9 to the BOM which eats into margins.

If someone can get meego working on the lumia I'd definitely consider it ... (an actual n9 is harder to come by, would prob be more expensive).
