Nokia Unveils Its First Windows 7 Phone
mikejuk writes with an excerpt from an I Programmer article: "Nokia has just launched the Lumia 800, its first Windows 7 phone, and it is basically a modified N9. CEO Stephen Elop said: 'It's a new dawn for Nokia.' He also called it 'the first real Windows Phone,' and said, 'We believe it is the first ever instantiation of the Windows Phone platform that properly embodies, complements and amplifies the design sensibilities of Windows Phone' ... It is being launched in Europe now but the US wont see one until early 2012."
By "modified N9" they mean the N9 but running WP7 bundled with Nokia's navigation application and a streaming music service.
Life is always so hard when you suffer from a compulsion to take marketing hyperbole literally. I suggest you avoid the TV and radio. If you hear commercials for two different products in close succession both claiming to be the best at the same thing your brain might explode. I can only hope you've already taken the safety precaution of blocking all ads on in your browser.

Why Nokia is the pinnacle of human achievement, while the iPhone is a piece of shit
I absolutely block all ads.
I even blocked your post, so I'm replying blind, and I hope the context fits!
On a serious note, you have just made the same point I was making; it's nice that we agree.

But they have the same shape. If you've been paying attention to lawsuits, you'd know that shape is pretty much the only real factor in phones.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Not really people. Just raging man-children. It's a useful sign that you can stop reading.
In Spanish, "Lumia" means "whore"
"Here we are, talking about the Nokia Whore 800 and the Nokia Whore 710, the two newest smartphones by Nokia..."
Nokia Global Marketing fail 101.
Call me when they announce their last Windows phone.
Have gnu, will travel.
