Lumia 800 Knocked in Quarter-Finals of Gizmodos Gadget of The Year
As Jay mentioned yesterday the Lumia 800 was participating in Gizmodos “Gadget of the Year Contest” where it was first pitted against some lowly headphones (seeding purposes), then against a slightly more worthy foe The Nintendo 3DS, which unsurprisingly didn’t stand a chance. After that the Lumia 800 matched up against Androids latest flagship The Galaxy Nexus by samsung; unfortunately the 800 didn’t make it through that round, but it didn’t go down without a fight according to Gizmodo:
against the Galaxy Nexus, which juuuust edged the Lumia 800 (52 percent to 48).
Now I know Gizmodos gadget of the year isn’t really a recognized standard (or even a real comparison considering the number of fanboys out there) but one thing I’d like to point out is that the Lumia 800 a Windows Nokia phone lasted longer than the coveted eye-device on an american website! That by itself in my opinion is an achievement
And in case you don’t get tired of hearing prasie being sung to the 800 here’s what the entry vs the 3DS said: meets the best and prettiest and I-want-that-est Windows Phone.
However you cut it (whether your a N9 guy or a 800 guy or a N8 ) 2011 has been an impressive year for Nokia, bring on more goodies Nokia! (and happy 2012 people- it’s already 30/12 so I’m allowed to jump the shark on it. *Maybe my lumia 800 will get here before the world ends

Not bad. I didn’t make a separate post asking for votes, though not sure how much of an impact we could have made over Gizmodo’s readers that are predominantly Android/iOS fans.
I was surprised actually that it got passed 3DS.
Reminds me, I wonder how Lumia is getting along with Channel 5′s king of smartphones…
should have been the finals though!
i’m tired of hear of that galaxy sh..
The Apple products havent got to the finals yet???? *surprised*
>2011 has been an impressive year for Nokia
It’s been a horrible year for Nokia!
Q4 is a great part of the year for Nokia. I hope (and very sure) that 2012 is where Nokia/WP7 will really shine when more people starts to know about it. I just hope it doesn’t become a victim of the iSyndrome like what the iPod did to the Zune, fucking hate the iPod after that. Zune HD/Lumia 800 > iPod/iPhone.
android – 58%
nokia wp – 42%
i bet no android flagship can stand against high end NOKIA WP
I REPEAT:
android “FLAGSHIP” – 58%
“MID RANGE” nokia wp – 42%
i bet no android flagship can stand against high end NOKIA WP
It’s android 52, WP 48.
I think Nokia is turning heads in mindshare, if the Nexus, a showcase phone for ICS, is winning this by such a slim margin by the Lumia 800, a showcase phone for WP7.
“It’s android 52, WP 48″
yep you are right
and i agree with your comment
Well, at least the Lumia 800 made a good run!
I never could vote – every link, on every blog that I visited took me only to the Gizmodo page – I never saw a link that directed me to Poll Daddy, or whomever, was hosting the votes.
Oh well….
