Still like the 800?

Still enjoying the 800 even without wp8.1?

The 800 can never go higher than 7.8, it isn't even on WP8

Yeah, I feel bad about the phone especially for the fact I'm a strong proponent for windows phone amongst my mates. Everyone of them who owns a windows phone (apart from one who owns the L800) bought it do to my strong argument for the OS. And it diminishes my credibility when I make the argument that windows phone has a reliable upgrade support for its devices but well I guess most understand that this is a first generation windows smartphone.

I had the 900, which was the same in terms of only getting WP7.8. I ended up buying a 920 from someone in the WPCentral Marketplace forum. Now I'm out of contract so I can use the 920 with WP8.1 until new devices I like are available for my carrier.

The 800 is really old by today's smartphone standards, it's not strange that it doesn't get updated anymore. You don't expect a galaxy s1 or an iphone 3gs to get all the latest updates either.

Yeah, thats the fair point I usually make and regardless Nokia (windowsphone) has done a great job keeping their devices (including low-end) up to date.

Agreed, the 900 is the only unfortunate exception.

Have also a L630, but the screen of the L800 is much, much better.

Have also a L630, but the screen of the L800 is much, much better.

Due to three reasons: AMOLED technology, 2.5D Gorilla glass, and a higher PPI (because of the smaller screen).

I still have mine, but don't use it. It still is one of the most balanced and aesthetically beautiful devices out there (imo of course)

i would pray for a Lumia 800 made out of metal with L930 internals, just keep the shape of 800

Shut up and take my money.

Lumia 800 was good device, I liked it very much. But it was broken... Bought Lumia 830 week ago!
