The display of the Nokia Lumia 800 is a 3.7" ClearBack AMOLED, which is a bit smaller than the Nokia N9's, on which it's based on because of the three capacitive Windows Phone buttons at the bottom.

The camera of the Lumia 800 is an 8MP f/2.2 camera with Carl Zeiss optics with auto-focus and dual LED flash. The Lumia 800 comes in three different colors to match your preferences - Blue, Magenta and Black.

Nokia has worked hard to customize the Windows Phone platform, too.The Lumia 800 features Nokia Drive, which is the first voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation on a Windows Phone device.
