Combining the stunning style of the Nokia N9 with the great usability of Windows Phone 7.5, the Nokia Lumia 800 is by far the world’s best Windows Phone. But how does it measure up when placed side-by-side with Nokia’s gorgeous N8? We’ve put them together to help you choose your favourite.

With its gorgeous, curved design and choice of cyan, magenta and black colour schemes, the Nokia Lumia 800 is not only the world’s best Windows Phone, but is also the best-looking. When compared to the swamp of drab looking Windows Phones on the market, we know which we’d rather have in our hand.

Despite being released over a year ago, the Nokia N8 is still no slouch when it comes to style, though. Available in a choice of five bright colours, its sleek and minimalist chassis looks great and is more than a match for the majority of bland smartphones released by its rivals since the N8 first hit stores in late 2010.

So, if you’ve got your hand in your pocket and you want to choose between the best Windows Phone in the world or the best camera-phone in the world, which should you choose? To help you decide, we’ve put the gorgeous Nokia Lumia 800 and N8 side-by-side to let you see their differences.

Whether you look at the camera housing, the hardware buttons or the OS software interface, both the Lumia 800 and N8 have their own style, so take a look at our comprehensive photo gallery and then let us know in the Comments below whether you’re a Lumia 800 fan, an N8 lover - or if you like them both equally!
