WP 7.8 Running on Lumia 800 (In the Wild)

Posted: 14 Sep 2012 05:41 AM PDT

Apparently one of the folks from windowsmania.pl  have gotten their hands on the WP 7.8 ROM for the Lumia 800 and has it up and running as seen in the video and pictures below. I think this is the first we see of WP 7.8 on a device that is NOT the Lumia 900 (I dont think it’s been spotted on any Samsungs or HTCs either?). The video below shows the resizable tiles that they’ve grown oh so found of showing off and nothing more really; proof that this is a real WP 7.8 demo and not one of those skinned apps lies in the fact that the people hub animations work and shuffle the contacts; unlike all other apps and skins.

Friday LOL: Nokia Lumia 920 vs Apple iPhone 5 (Give the punches out Nokia!)

Don’t take this seriously, but as a TGIF LOL. This was left as a comment by Muerte. Not sure where the original comment image is from.

If you’re interested in a more direct comparison, check this out. Other phones in the mix too.

On a serious note, versus iPhone, Nokia Lumia 920 has some pretty excellent specifications. I read in previous comments by you guys that Phil Schiller claimed Wireless charging was ‘too difficult’ a concept for Apple fans apparently (i.e. plop it on the conduction surface – so easy on my TouchPad). Yet having to carry an adaptor so they can use a standard MicroUSB was not. You know the real reason – it’s because it’s not in the iPhone yet. Once it is, it will be a magical thing that Apple invented.  I’m hoping that’s not the case and that they’ll try to ‘innovate’ that in some way (and not simply reality distortion it).

There’s so much opportunity here for Nokia to target iPhone users in specs now. Stick to where you’re strong. Apps is getting there but don’t wage Apple on where they’re strong.

Those ‘smoked by Lumia’ thing can now KILL iPhone over and over – not with facebook uploads but smooth videos, low light shots, sensitive screen touches, wireless charging! Those are cool things consumers might find quite appealing and something the current iPhone does not offer.

Sadly, we DON’T have the device available to sway people over. So many have been waiting to switch to the new iPhone. You may have changed many minds with the Lumia 920. But where is it?!?!?! How can people buy something that’s not there? It’s ok for the fans to wait perhaps but Joe Average and co aren’t even aware your device exists to even contemplate waiting.

Ignore the spec-warring Droids. Go for the more premium iPeepls with the 920.

We’ve previously had a couple of posts showing the new Nokia flagship store in Helsinki.

Video of what it looked like before.

I wish I brought this accessory with me to film that. Or a 920 :P

You can see even in the reflection, a DSLR NEEDS to be on a stabiliser to get something that smooth. But in the above post, the 808 could get the same if not better quality.

Here’s what it looks like now:
