Nokia Mobile Use Windows OS - Lumia
Nokia has officially unveiled Lumia 800, the first Windows Phone-based device from the mobile giant at the Nokia World conference 2011 in London."It's a new dawn for Nokia, And we think we can break through." CEO Stephen Elop said at Nokia World Conference 2011 in London.
Microsoft has also packed the device with free software. Lumia 800 will be the only Windows Phone with Nokia Drive, which offers full, turn-by-turn voice navigation. Nokia is taking the right steps to diversify their phones by offering three apps you won't find with other carriers are the ESPN hub, Nokia Drive for turn-by-turn directions, and a music app that will do music mixes and streaming radio. Nokia Drive was the only one we were able to see, and the voice read-out. It's a great addition that will help match Android's turn-by-turn Google Maps navigation.
