I am outraged at the proposed pricing for the Nokia 800. $585 usd?!? While many of us here in the states are struggling to find a reputable source of a N9 16GB that isn't around $725. That little extra bit of screen size surely isn't worth that much. I'm sure they might be paying MS some sort of licensing fee, so why the hell is it so much cheaper? It feels like a slap in the face for those who want Nokia HW and more importantly SW.

Must say I'm quietly encouraged by this if not massively overwhelmed with desire. Glad they stuck with the Poly N9 form design...that's a winner.
However I'm not convinced it'll have enough momentum to take on Android ICS...
Question is where are the Apps going to come from ?...& how quickly ? Plus .....I just can't believe they left NFC off - that's a potential gamechanger....surely there's another high-ender to come ?
Specs-wise when you factor in the price.....it looks like a loss-leader. However it won't get off the ground without the Apps.....does anyone know where these will come from ??
And...will Nokia Music work without WiFI ?
It all seems very locked - in a la Microsoft / Apple.....I don't want to be tied into SkyDrive/Bing/M$... I have my own preferences.....
And the keynote was very Microsoft & not very Nokia.....I sincerely hope Nokia isn't going to be absorbed...
Not letting my n900 go just yet.....

the design is nice, but why oh why:
1) is the homescreen with the tiles soooo ugly?! plus the tiles are inferior to widgets due to the small size, there is not enough space to project anything relevant.
2) are there no customizable homescreens? the n900 had the best solution with 100% fully customizable homescreens, this is what nokia should be building on.
3) is there no notification light??!
4) no windowsphone with a slideout keyboard?

If you want customizing OS, go get an N9 and if you get dissapointed by SwipeUI, I Doubt, you can install some Community edition and "Plasma Active" and then you have customized homescreens
Now try the same in WP7 phone I am sorry it will not work
WP is just EPIC FAIL

How ironic Lumia translates to prostitute in spanish, because Nokia certainly has whored itself out under Elop!
And this phone ain't no high price call girl either. More like $2 crack whore.

The specs is just ridicilous. Elop and the failing board is so damn desperate by using same design as N9. Funny when they also say "they dont want to release N9 in UK cause the consumers may be confiused cause they look the same" Oh really!? So why the **** use exact same design? Itrs obviours, they just talking bullcrap they so damn affraid N9 and Meego Harmattan would sell out ElopFailOS.
But I guess with alot of brain watching people may think WP strategy actually is better than Maemo Harmattan!
I remember last year we got pissed cause N9 was not released. But this year must be even bigger fail than last year.
Must say I love N9 even more after today Elop fail announcement
N9 is the best device comming from Nokia for years!
