Nokia is the world leader in mobile device sales, according to the latest research from Gartner, Inc., although its market share has slipped during the past year. Current Nokia smartphones use the Symbian operating system, but earlier this year Nokia announced that it would migrate to Windows Phone 7, an operating system that currently has less than 2% of the smartphone market.
The Lumia 800 is powered by the Qualcomm MSM8255 CPU, a chipset that industry veterans describe as packing “everything but the kitchen sink” onboard. Full specifications for the Lumia 800 are as follows:
