[Nokia Lumia 800] Wiggy Fuzz:
the things i don't like about my nokia lumia - the lock key is too easy to mistake for the lower volume key, so when i'm blindly adjusting the music volume from in my pocket, i often activate and deactivate the screen. which in turn reveals the on screen lock music controls, which can (if the phone screen is facing my leg) inadvertently cause it to skip tracks or start music again, and play general havoc with music. my s2 had the power key and the volume keys on the opposite sides of the handset.

speaking of music, is it too much to ask to have the volume keys also change tracks if held?

it likes to connect to weak wifi signals - this is something i see with all phones i've used, and it's annoying, so it's not this phone's fault. maybe all os's should implement a little speed test to check see if it actually is using the best connection. sometimes my phone will try to connect to my wifi when i'm down the street - the signal is so weak it's almost non-existent, but it'll still try and connect.

i don't like the charger cover, or the charger positioned on the top. for charging, i prefer a plug from the bottom - again, makes it awkward if you're answering the phone and you have a substantial charger plug sticking from the top of the phone.

likewise, i wish the headphone jack were on the bottom. just so i don't have to hold the phone upside down or sideways so the cable doesn't catch on things.

headphone sound quality could be... a little less weak, but that's nothing carrying about a portable amp won't fix, so that's currently a non issue for me.

i don't like it hasn't got gapless playback (actually, not many phones do - the paid version of winamp on my s2 does, but...). actually, this isn't a fair criticism, because it's something windows phone 7 itself doesn't yet have.

i don't like the nokia tune is way too quiet/soft.

i don't like it hasn't made decent use of the amoled screen's useful features - like an onscreen clock or something. i wondered whether the 3 buttons were backlit individually or as a whole - how useful would it be to have a gently pulsating windows key whenever you got a message or an email or something - other nokia handsets had a pulsating menu light.

not enough creative leverage - i just wish nokia could have more control over the customisation options - nokia's past software did have some useful points, and all. but hardly any carried over to this phone. right now, it's too much like other windows phone 7 handsets, just dressed in a prettier body.

the text can be too small - this is something about the software, but since i work in a phone shop, it's a little thing i've heard a few times about all windows phone 7 handsets. the little subtext under icons, which is usually hidden is tiny.

it's too slippery - i don't use my phone with the free case anymore, so it's obviously my fault. but it is as near as makes little difference a bar of soap.

the screen gets really greasy... i don't think mine has any resistant coating on it, at all.

xpress-on covers - if there were any old ideas that nokia had that i wish could have made a comeback it's this. the lumia could have been made with internals that simply slid in and out of it's shell, anytime you wanted to change the colour of the case. blame this on my eagerness to try the phone and not waiting for the white model, really...

the screen - i've seen an n9 screen (and i'm due to be picking up one soon) and i hate the fact mine is pentile. you really don't notice it much, to be brutally honest, and i've gotten so used to the fact that amoled screens are just better, i don't care anymore whether it's rgb or pentile... but, the n9... and it's got a bigger screen... nokia could have just had the n9 screen and had on screen buttons, like the galaxy nexus - but no. and for that, siding up my phone to my mates n9 makes mine feel a little inadequate...

i wish it could run android apps... i mean, i don't see why microsoft couldn't let it happen...

this all might sound like i hate my handset - but i don't. i love my windows phone, and i'd love it even more if these little flaws were fixed. i'd love it even more if nokia added a glowing windows key light or like an on screen clock (old nokia phones ALWAYS had a clock on them)

anyway, the tl;dr version is: love my phone, few flaws, still love my phone. would love it more if flaws were fixed.
