Nokia Lumia 800 wins What Mobile Phone of the Year award

Even before the Nokia Lumia 800 went on sale it has created so much hype that the handset has been votes as the Phone of the Year at What Mobile, a UK magazine’s annual reader poll.

The vote were recorded in October on WhatMobile’s website and was handed over at the Mobile Awards 2011 ceremony at London’s Whisky Mist.

WhatMobile editor Richard Melville said: “It’s no secret that Nokia make great phones but with a new Windows Phone Mango operating system, great design and a competitive price, the Lumia 800 feels like real innovation for smartphones and, importantly, one that’s cool enough to attract everyone from gadget geeks to casual, fashion conscious phone users.”
