Nokia Lumia 800: Top 10 things we already love!
Windows Phone Live Tiles
Thanks to its great Live Tiles, the Nokia Lumia 800’s Windows Start screen is filled with up to the minute updates from all your social networks and your photo gallery, among others. Letting you easily check out the latest events and updates from your friends and family, without opening a single app, Live Tiles are just one of many reasons why the Nokia Lumia 800 works so well.
Windows Phone Groups
Letting you categorise your contacts into small, easier to manage groups, the Windows Phone Groups tool lets you enjoy more refined updates from your most important friends, family and colleagues and makes it just as easy to contact them all via text, email or even Instant Messenger, with just the touch of a button, making the perfect tool for those with a packed contacts book.
Local Scout
Find fun and interesting things to do, no matter where you go, using the Nokia Lumia 800’s great Local Scout app. Using your handset’s built-in A-GPS and Nokia Maps to pinpoint your exact location on the globe, Local Scout then scans the area and gives you a detailed list of bars, restaurants, shops and neighbourhood highlights for you to enjoy wherever your travels take you.
Intelligent Multitasking
While many rival smartphones use icons to show you basic information about which apps are running on your phone, the Lumia 800 uses live thumbnail images to show you exactly what the apps look like and what they are doing. Making it much easier to navigate your apps, Windows Phone 7.5’s Intelligent Multitasking makes rival smartphone software look shockingly out of date.

With just a few taps you can instantly correct exposure levels and white balance on your photos, adding new life to underexposed images.
