London: A recent post on Nokia's official blog claims the UK pre-orders for Lumia 800 has been higher than any previous Nokia handset.
"Nokia sources tonight confirmed the Nokia Lumia 800 is destined to be a huge hit," said the post.
“The level of pre-orders, as well as reaction in shops today, lead us to be very positive about the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800," said Nokia spokesman, Ray Haddow.
Information from operators and retail partners confirmed a high level of pre-orders, the post added.
People have reportedly been lining up at Nokia stores to not just check out the handset, but also place orders for it, claims the company.
The post said, “In addition, we’ve had lots of people saying that they intend to switch to the Nokia Lumia 800 at their next upgrade.”
The Lumia 800 and the Lumia 710 are the first from Nokia to run on the Mango WP platform, and saw their global launch last month at Nokia World 2011.
At a weight of 142 g, the phone measures116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1mm and has a single-piece, polycarbonate body that sports bright AMOLED ClearBlack display with toughened glass stretching from side-to-side, says a post on Nokia’s official blog.
Powered by a 1.4GHz processor, the phone has a graphics co-processor too that drives the operating system to deliver a smooth user experience, the post informs.
It says the phone’s 16GB of internal user memory has cloud computing integrated to offer 25GB of free SkyDrive storage for music and picture files. It comes in three black, cyan and magenta colours.
The Nokia Lumia 800 sports an 8 MP auto-focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, which is capable of shooting HD video at 30 frames per second. The phone promises talktime of up to 13 hours, or standby for up to 335 hours.
Other features include Nokia Drive for free turn-by-turn navigation and a dedicated in-car interface. Nokia Drive “turns the Nokia Lumia 800 into a fully-fledged personal navigation device”, says the company.
“Nokia Music introduces MixRadio, bringing a free, global, mobile music-streaming service with hundreds of locally-relevant channels available”.
The phone has Internet Explorer 9 browser that offers broad support for HTML5 applications, etc.
The estimated retail price for the Nokia Lumia 800 will be approximately 420 EUR (around Rs 28,390).
