Another, is how you'll give it the protection it deserves. I have two reviews here, one of the phone itself and another of the Nokia CC-3032 Lumia 800 hard case.

Our good friends in Deutschland have been busy compiling some Lumia 800 reviews, creating apps for the Nokia Store and testing out some Nokia Purity Headsets by Monster.
