Review of the R2 Nokia Lumia 800

May 10, 2012 in Windows Phone 7 Tweet

The new R2 Nokia Lumia 800 is an upgraded version of the N9, and several of its most loved features carried over to the R2. Its sleek charcoal exterior resembles its predecessor and its polycarbonate shell is remarkably scratch resistant. An expertly crafted Gorilla Glass screen is arguably the best we’ve seen yet and incredibly snug. The phone’s light sensors are tucked away behind the convex glass, which leaves its front panel smooth and undisturbed. Only the Nokia logo, Windows Phone symbol and earpiece stand in the way.

The device’s left side is left untouched, while the right side contains the lock/power button, volume and camera controls. Forget the traditional plastic components, this phone’s side buttons are made of metal. The R2′s speaker is precisely drilled into its bottom and is home to the device’s microphone. A 3.5mm jack sits atop the phone with a MicroUSB port next to it. Simply push one side to open the flap to pop out the micro SIM slot.
