U.S. sales are bright spot for Nokia's Lumia >> AllThingsD
Though demand for Nokia’s new Lumia smartphones has been spotty across the globe, the Lumia 900 continues to sell reasonably well in the U.S. Retail checks conducted by Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt suggest that the device is the second-best-selling device at most AT&T stores, after the iPhone.

What to do when your Nokia Lumia 800 will not turn on >> Gadget Writing
Tim Anderson:
Nokia Lumia 800: delightful smartphone but with a few irritations. If you have one, I recommend that you do not let the battery fully discharge – a challenge since the battery life is not the greatest – since if you do, you may have problems turning the phone on again.


Warming the phone a little seems to be the best idea.

Lumia Review >> Terence Eden
Terence Eden has been tweeting (at @edent) about his experiences with a free Lumia provided by Nokia. They haven't all been positive (though he calls himself an 'edge case'): "If you are prepared to stay in the walled garden, and put up with the bugs, the Lumia is a decent device. But there are devices which do more, cost less, and have more apps on them.

"I’m not giving up on Windows Phone 7. It is still a work in progress. There is a great deal of potential here – and I look forward to seeing what the future brings."

Nokia Lumia 800 Windows 7.5 smartphone special offer >> Orange
"Free Xbox 360 when you upgrade, while stocks last". Microsoft's spending its billions on this one all right. Wonder what phone people will upgrade from to this? And how many "unwanted gift" Xbox 360s will suddenly appear on eBay in the next few weeks? (Then again, Christmas is coming. People might keep them for presents.)

Nokia Lumia 800: in-depth 8-minute video documentary >> YouTube
Stirring Sigur Røs-style music? Check. Phrases like "aligned our cultures and design DNA"? Check. Anything that actually tells you how they went about designing it and what the real problems and frustrations and insights were? Mostly, no. Though we learn it is made of "premium plastic". That's not a phrase we recommend using often.

Nokia Windows Phone: A Pricing Advantage? - Wireless Worker
Ben Smith: "Sitting in the auditorium witnessing the Nokia World keynote live, my first thought on the two new Windows Phone devices was how aggressively they were priced: €420 for the high-end Lumia 800 and €270 for the ‘affordable’ Lumia 710. It may have been because the technical specifications had been leaked so comprehensively, but I considered this would be the real post-event talking point."

Nokia used to think there was absolutely zero market that would pay over €400 for a mobile phone. Interesting how the market has shifted.
