Nokia 800 Launches on Pay As You Go Deals

Nokia's first smart phone to run the latest Windows Phone 7 operating system has now been released on Pay As You Go deals, the Nokia Lumia 800 was initially launched on contract deals from Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2, Orange, Talk Mobile and most recently 3 Mobile but this is the first time that this new handset has been offered without any long-term commitment.

The Nokia Lumia 800 on Pay As You Go allows consumers who do not like to sign up to lengthy contract deals to own this new phone and then simply 'top up' their calling credit when needed, the prepay Nokia Lumia is also ideal for those that cannot pass the strict network credit checks for pay monthly offers as there are none to get past when buying a prepay phone.

3 Mobile have launched the Nokia Lumia 800 on pay as you go with an asking price of £399.99, that's a full £100 cheaper than both the latest iOS5 powered iPhone 4S and Android 4.0 driven Samsung Galaxy Nexus but this new Nokia runs on the latest Windows 7 operating system known as the Mango edition so what does it offer in comparison?

The Windows operating software of the Nokia Lumia 800 uses a new 'Live Tiles' set-up on the main home screen which the user can personalise with their favourite and most important information such as incoming messages and emails, weather and news reports, short cuts to pictures and videos plus social networking features that constantly update whilst the phone is turned on.

There is also comprehensive support for Microsoft's mobile titles such as outlook for email and office for documents plus access to the new Microsoft 'Skydrive' remote storage service which users can utilise to upload up to 25GB of data to save on the internal phone memory of 16GB.

The main touch screen of the new Nokia Lumia measures 3.7 inches and uses AMOLED and 'ClearBlack' technology for a vibrant, crisp and sharp display, the curved edges of this screen almost seem to vanish into the sides of the casing creating a very minimalistic design to the phone with a tapered top and bottom to the casing.
