THE NOKIA LUMINA 800 HAS ARRIVED!
News: Nokia Lumina 800 date for the Lumia 900, the Lumia 800 is its “flagship” Windows Phone 7 device. Indeed, given the glacial pace at which Windows Phone 7 devices have hit the market relative to Android, it’s something of a flagship phone for Windows Phone 7 itself. It’s to Windows Phone 7’s benefit, then that the Lumia 800 is in most respects an excellent smartphone. It’s got the gorgeous visual style of the Nokia N9, for a start, although the review model tested with was the black one — easily the least visually impressive Lumia 800. The N9 was a phone that I loved visually but couldn’t quite accept due to the fact that it was a lonely wanderer in a smartphone wilderness,
given Nokia’s never going to pitch out another Meegobased handset. The Lumia 800 doesn’t have that limitation; clearly Nokia’s got big plans for Windows Phone 7, even if it is starting things off rather slow in terms of handset models. • Latest OS Windows 7.5 (Mango) is super smooth & responsive, with no lag at all.

GAMING: XBOX 720 you say? Rumors are rife that Microsoft is hard at work on the highly anticipated nextgeneration Xbox 720. Reports flooding the internet have suggested that the new Xbox 720, which reared its head back in 2005, will arrive later this year. Others, however, are of the opinion that the new gaming console will arrive only in 2014 or 2015. This is from the fact that Microsoft themselves had announced that the Xbox 360 has a lifespan of 10 years. If the theory is maintained, then the fans will have to wait till 2015 for the next Xbox from the Redmond-based company.

While Robonaut 2 has been busy testing its technology in microgravity aboard the International Space Station, NASA and General Motors have been working together on the ground to find new ways those technologies can be used. The two groups began working together in 2007 on Robonaut 2, or R2, which in 2011 became the first humanoid robot in space.

The current trend in browser design, led by Google Chrome, is to scale back the browser’s interface so that it takes less and less of the screen, devoting more room to the web content itself. Windows 8’s Metro design similarly removes window chrome to put the focus on content. The Metro version of Internet Explorer feels slick and comfortable using both touch and mouse and keyboard interaction. Particular highlights are the tile-based favorites view and the tab thumbnails, both shown to good effect in Microsoft’s post on their website.

Nokia’s Lumia 800 takes the gorgeous design of the N9 and slaps a new coat of Windows Phone 7 paint. The end result is a phone that’ll be drooled over by Windows Phone 7 aficionados, and could well influence a few switchers along the way. When Gizmodo US reviewed the Lumia 800, they referred to it as “unattainable Foreign Beauty” — a gorgeouslooking Windows Phone 7 handset that wasn’t easy to get your hands on. That was some time back, though, and Nokia’s finally got the Lumia 800 out on Australian store shelves, along with quite a large advertising push.
