Finally here comes Nokia’s First Windows based smartphones. The company CEO Stephen Elop called these new phones as “the first real Windows Phone”. The company has unveiled Nokia Lumia 800 and its lower-end cousin, Lumia 710. This is the first time Nokia has launched Windows smartphones. The decision is rightly made as the company wants to focus on Windows platform, as their Symbian and MeeGo platform’s future seems to be dim.
