Nokia Lumias shine on Windows smartphones Bernard Cole London, UK – Nokia has just rolled out a portfolio of phones, services and accessories, including the first smartphones in its Windows Phone-based Nokia Lumia range - social-oriented Nokia Lumia 800, the non-nonesense Lumina 710 and a set of Asha phones that blur the difference between smartphones and lower end feature phones.

It features a 3.7 inch AMOLED ClearBlack curved display blending seamlessly into the reduced body design, and a 1.4 GHz processor with hardware acceleration and a graphics processor. It contains an instant-share camera experience based on leading Carl Zeiss optics, HD video playback, 16GB of internal user memory and 25GB of free SkyDrive storage for storing images and music.
