Nokia last year announced that it will ditch its rusting Symbian OS and embrace Windows Phone 7 on their next generation phones. After nearly an year Nokia revealed Lumia range of phones featuring Windows Phone Mango. The result is a mixed bag one side you have possibly the most fluid OS on the phone ever with no lags, no frame skipping etc... The animations and transitions are very smooth, pinch to zoom, rotation are really smooth. The home screen is really attractive and very different, overall the whole OS is very minimal and has almost no chrome. The build quality of Nokia Lumia 800 and 900 are top notch, clear Black AMOLED screen is vey bright. While on the other hand it is just like Apple a walled garden by Microsoft. You cannot change much look or feel of the OS like Android, Bluetooth file transfer is prohibited(really??? Whats the use of of putting a Bluetooth inside), the apps are too far too few, official apps like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube are missing...
