Video: Nokia Lumia 800 vs Nokia Lumia 710
Here is a 4 minute video comparing the Nokia Lumia 800 and the Nokia Lumia 710. There was a similar video last week but now this one is in English. Even on video the CBD AMOLED makes quite a difference (and the 710 is quite a decent CBD LCD). The 800′s screen where the parts are black just melts in with the phone. It’s difficult to say where the screen begins.

I’m Dutch and I always are a shamed how some of us pronounce English. hahah
*am :p
??? I’m and I am is the same. If you wanted to correct me you should have said that ashamed is one word.
“I always are”
hahah oooooooow my bad
Hoi terug. Glad I’m not the only Dutch guy trolling the MNB..
Haha ja. Welke telefoon heb je? Of gebruik geen Nokia?
Demon language! Everybody run!
i am a chinese and i always feel ashamed that how many of us don’t ever feel ashamed
Hope you understand
Nothing differentiates Windows Phones in terms of UI regardless of their positioning. Look. You can’t really distinguish between highend and midrange. Unlike in Android, for example between a Galaxy S II and a Galaxy Y, the UI disparity can never really go unnoticed even by the average Joe. Windows Phone isn’t actually ugly. It’s just bland and plain boring. Nokia need to skin their WP if they want to attract customers because this Metro UI is completely unattractive.
I wonder how many times have I seen this ‘WP7 is boring’ comment. What differentiates the high-end and low-end is the visually physical package itself. The 800 and 710 is already obvious on this part. If you haven’t noticed, uniformity in the UI works wonders in terms of seamless productivity. The mind can focus more doing work then wondering which widget is which.
Shut up you filthy bitch!!!!!
Well, the difference is quite vibrant, especially the display.
Oh god no. No skins. Ever. That would be AWFUL.
i dont like WP7 but i wouldnt want the UI to be different on each WP phone… heck look @ our Symbian devices, the UIs are the same unless the user chooses to customize it
but yes i agree WP7s ui is very bland/boring
Agree, we should leave the differentiation problem to Nokia, on how to persuade customers to pay more for a high-end one with similar user experience. They do the same on the symbians.
For symbian users, the biggest obstacle to the road of WP is the disability in customizing things. The homescreen, themes, settings in profiles, or as simple as the ringtone volume.
The tiles idea is good, but we can only choose to put which tiles on the homescreen, and very limited options available. I can hardly see a “Post your homescreen” thread in a WP forum.
haha
nice one. I like your last sentence
Sure, there won’t be a post your homescreen thread, but at the same time support costs for Windows Phone would be really low since it would be dead easy to train support staff to deal with any Windows Phone.
Getting 800 is a waste of money… Mid-end 710 gat same function with 800, No advance GPU/CPU than each other…. Every apps that runs on 800 with also run on 710!
CRAAAAAAP
808 or N9 ?
Thought that at first as well, however with both a 710 and 800 lying around here I can say that there is a big difference between the 2.
Both are decent devices, the 710 however feels a lot cheaper. The screen is absolute crap compared to the 800 and the battery is smaller. The physical buttons aren’t bad but using them isn’t all that it should be. Feedback is very poor.
All things considered I’m happy that I bought an 800 instead of a 710. Only thing I regret is that the 900 is coming out now.
that’s all ?
You could say it that way, yet there are some real niggles in parts of the 710 that get annoyed by. The screen is vague and not nearly as vivid, since you use that screen to interact with the phone the better the screen the nicer it is to use the device.
The HW buttons are a similar thing, while I loathed capacitive buttons at first. I wouldn’t want the physical ones from the 710 in a 1000 years now.
However, the 710 is as low as they should go with that HW set, or as high as they should go with the 800. I already felt a little cheated by the 710, if the rumoured 610 comes out at an even lower price point with the same HW it just makes the 800 an overpriced device.
In that also lies the danger for Nokia’s WP strategy, can they really diversify it enough over the broad price range they want and need to be operating in? HW similarities aren’t bad, but they do hurt the high end if the low end offers the same. And it also cheats the high end buyers.
Also 16GB (800) vs. 8GB (710)
Crap?
I don’t see how it’s a bad thing that apps that run on the 800 are going to run on the 710. Folks complained that on Android you couldn’t be certain various apps will run on all mobiles, now it does on Lumia it’s a bad thing?
If you want the core functionalities, the 710 is better value. The 800 is more on design premium and the screen. Being a geek, I would personally wait out for something like the 900. Design shouldn’t be overlooked. It’s a huge reason why folks are paying attention to Nokia again.
Some people feel it’s worth buying for the design.
The best thing about Symbian is that it’s not fragmented. My 5233 can run the same apps. that work on a N97. Nokia C6-01 can run the same apps. that work on a N8.
If I had enough money I’d have bought Lumia 800 because of its better design, better screen, more memory, better camera. But I can atleast get the same functions as a Lumia 800 on a 710. I don’t know how this thing hurts the high end owners!? I love 800 because it does offer better things, and like 710 because it offers the same functionality. This is how Symbian worked…and WP will work the same way.
Symbian is incredibly fragmented. Apps for the C6-00, which has identical enough hardware that custom ROMs based on it can be installed on the 52**/5800 are not available on the 52**/5800. That’s fragmentation to a ridiculous degree.
Ever since S60v3 it has been fragmented.
Now for your question, WP actually has the lack of fragmentation that you attributed to Symbian.
Yes, I agree that the lack of fragmentation in WP is a good thing. The attempt of Symbian to run all these apps in different versions is commendable but sadly there is significant fragmentation here. Even on Symbian^3 there is fragmentation with E6 apps of different resolution. There may also be fragmentation regarding what apps are Belle compatible, or Anna compatible etc.
It has been like this for quite some time. Without Qt and if original S^4 had come about, there’d be even worse fragmentation.
For those inside Nokia who know the situation, it’s actually a lot worse than what the public can and will know (and it’s best they don’t).
I forgot about the E6.
So, Symbian is fragmented.
Good thing is that WP isn’t. Maybe that will change with Apollo.
There could be some fragmentation with Apollo, but I’m sure MS understands the importance of avoiding that and they’ll make sure it’s kept under control.
Custom Firmwares are not apps. and IMO, not being able to run CFW’s based on C6 on 52**/5800 has nothing to do with fragmentation. All S60V5 phones have 434Mhz processor, 128 MB RAM and can run same apps.
But C5-03 is a different story. It has a 600 MHz processor but can’t run Polarbit games.
So maybe I was wrong…Symbian S60V5 is fragmented a little bit.
CFW based on C6-00 is S60v5, 5230 runs S60v5. Both the same OS (ostensibly), yet apps are only available for the C6-00 and not the 5230. That’s fragmentation to a retarded degree. Same res, same CPU, same OS, yet software is available for one and not the other. It’s not even like one isn’t powerful enough to handle the software, as it does it fine with the CFW.
