Nokia Lumia 810 Reviews

Nokia Lumia 810 Review at CNET

If you're deciding between the Nokia Lumia 810 and the HTC Windows Phone 8X for T-Mobile, the Lumia 810 is both less expensive and also has a few more software enhancements such as Nokia Music and Nokia Drive. However, if those whistles and bells don't stir your imagination and looks could tip the balance, choose the HTC Windows Phone 8X. I prefer using the latter on a day-to-day basis, though I would miss some of the Lumia's extra features. If you're interested in Windows Phone and the carrier is unimportant, the Nokia Lumia 920 is the most advanced you can get, though it also suffers from a thick build. Read more...

In the end, Nokia has created another real winner for the Windows Phone 8 universe as a whole. The Nokia Lumia 920 may be just that little bit better with a slightly larger display and loud body, but the 810 takes care of the user who doesn’t want to take a monster out of their pocket every time they need to make a call. This is the business person’s Windows Phone 8 smartphone. You’ll want to consider this device if you’re definitely working with T-Mobile in the near future and will be living in the Windows Phone 8 universe. It’s not going to be winning any popularity contests against the Samsung Galaxy S III or an unlocked T-Mobile-wielding iPhone 5 any time soon, but that’s not what it’s made for. Instead its your first great choice for Microsoft’s next generation in mobile OS action. The Nokia Lumia 810 is a truly solid Windows Phone 8 experience, top to bottom. Read more...

Overall, it's tough to recommend the Lumia 810, even though it's a pretty nice device. If you're set on a Windows Phone, the AT&T Lumia 920 is a better buy for the same $100, thanks to its high-definition PureMotion HD+ display and higher-quality camera. On T-Mobile, your best bet is the HTC One S, which keeps the Lumia 810's 4.3-inch screen size, but adds in more resolution, a much more svelte form factor, and access to Android's awesome app catalog, all for just $50 more; it's easily worth the price difference. Our Editors' Choice on T-Mobile remains the powerful Samsung Galaxy S III, which costs a lot more, but boasts a beautiful 720p high-definition 4.8-inch screen and lots of innovative features.

The Nokia Lumia 810 is an undoubtedly solid smartphone, but its ultimate undoing is the Lumia 920, a better device that costs less money. If you're unwilling to jump ship from T-Mobile, Nokia's custom software also throws a wrench in the equation, because you'll need to choose between superior hardware that does less (HTC 8X), or a relatively inferior smartphone that does more (Lumia 810). Alternatively, you could also wait for the Lumia 920 to break free of its six-month AT&T exclusivity. Or you could import the Canadian version, which just so happens to support T-Mobile's HSPA+ bands. So long as you're aware of the alternatives, we have no qualms recommending the Lumia 810. If you're wanting to snag the phone right away, however, you should prepare to swallow a bitter pill, because we don't expect its $150 price tag to last far beyond the holiday season. Read more...
