Nokia hails Lumia 800 a hit

Published by Trevor Davies on November 16, 2011

LONDON, United Kingdom – Nokia sources tonight confirmed the Nokia Lumia 800 is destined to be a huge hit.

The level of UK pre-orders has been higher for Lumia than any previous Nokia handset.

Nokia spokesman, Ray Haddow, said that early indications from the operators and retail partners confirmed a high level of pre-orders.

Haddow said: “The level of pre-orders, as well as reaction in shops today, lead us to be very positive about the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800.

“The public have had hands on in many retail stores over the past week and were in store in abundance today, not only trying out this amazing device, but signing up for some of the great deals available.

“In addition, we’ve had lots of people saying that they intend to switch to the Nokia Lumia 800 at their next upgrade. Especially given some of the great offers available at the moment”

The Nokia Lumia 800 went on sale in the UK today after hitting the stores in Germany yesterday and will be available in France tomorrow, where demand is also been very high. 

Beautifully designed, with top of the range spec and big value apps, the affordable deals being offered in Europe are making it irresistible.

    No need to feel guilty backing Nokia and Microsoft. When Apple, Google and Microsoft are fighting it out, the consumer wins. The more players in the phone market, the better devices and prices you’ll get.

    How do you define a hit? Has it sold hundreds of thousands? Sorry without figures from Nokia this is just marketing spin.
