Nokia Lumia 800 now available, with free coffee in the UK

As we previously covered throughout the marketing entrada Nokia has thrown at us the past few weeks, the Lumia 800 is now available at retail stores (and for delivery through pre-ordering) in the Great britain and a handful of European countries. The handset, available in black, was greeted by queues of potential buyers outside retail stores beyond the Great britain.

The Lumia 800 is being carried by Orange, T-Mobile, Three and Vodafone (Phones4U & Carphonewarehouse, etc. too). O2 were in talks with Nokia to also stock the Windows Phone, merely communications broke down with the companies not agreeing on strict criteria laid down by the manufacturer. Subsequently today, the next step in Nokia'due south plan for market place domination is a free, public result in London on November 28th, which will meet 4D projections beingness beamed onto the Millbank Tower with deadmau5 performing some numbers.

The above shot illustrates the service Nokia was running for those who were patiently pending their plow to get their easily on the new Windows Phone. Rightly and so, the queues should be fairly large and sales should be relatively good, with the sheer scale of promotion Nokia has carried out being pretty massive. We had Nokia Globe, the introduction of the Arch in Stratford's Westfield shopping centre, and roof-hung brandish boards at Heathrow Airport beingness overtaken by the handset maker to proper name only a few.

2012 will prove to be an interesting year for the platform to say the least, but one thing is for sure - we're lucky to have Nokia dedicating all resources. Cyan and magenta choices will arrive later this month for the Lumia 800 (Nov 28th for magenta) and we expect (and promise) networks to begin pushing Windows Phone likewise as Android and the iPhone in the nigh future.

Let us know in the comments if you went out to get ane.
