Me being me, and recently undergoing a flash of my Nokia Lumia 820, decided to take the plunge and flash my Lumia 800, even though I have a RM-819 variant, which has been gathering dust this past week. Here is what I have seen included:

  • Resizable Live tiles
  • Bluetooth Share
  • New Store Icon
  • Ringtone Maker, App Highlights, Contact Transfer etc.
  • Lock screen wallpaper option for Bing
  • More Accent colours
  • 24 Lockscreen Backgrounds (doesn't appear in the gallery)
  • Animations are a little tweaked
  • Nokia Tune Remix ringtone :P
  • Xbox and Office icons
  • New boot screen
  • You can select Google as search engine in IE

Other than what I highlighted above, nothing else has really stood out as new. Have you flashed your device and noticed anything I haven’t? Let me know in the comments section below.
