Apps and App Store, Browser

The Windows Phone Market place offers 25k+ applications, which is solid when compared with anything other than iOS and Android. The apps are generally of high quality, but users will find fewer gratis apps than they might hope for. Microsoft does offer free trials for most paid applications, though, and there are a great deal of very high quality apps and games available. You can likewise store for and remotely install apps from the Marketplace website.

Nokia has included a few of its own applications on the Lumia 800, including Nokia Bulldoze for turn-by-turn navigation and Nokia Maps, which is destined to replace Bing maps in the time to come.

Other applications that should exist mentioned include the Office Mobile suite that ties in with Microsoft'south SkyDrive and Office 365 services. Nokia even includes a Contacts Transfer app to assist users become their contacts from their old phone to their new phone using Bluetooth. On pinnacle of that, Windows Phone allows users to uninstall carrier and manufacturer applications at will, which is a thoughtful addition.

Browser

While I haven't been a huge fan of Microsoft's Net Explorer browser for Windows Phone in the past, I have to admit that the Nokia Lumia 800 seems to run the browser better than the competition does. I'm actually liking the browser this fourth dimension around, equally it's very fast and smoothen in all respects.

I yet would rather accept a WebKit-based browser, but there's non a heck of a lot to complain most here apart from the lack of Adobe Wink back up - or fifty-fifty support for Microsoft's own Silverlight platform.
