In case, you needed any proof that white is the “it” colour for phones today, Nokia has come up with the snow-coloured version of its flagship Lumia 800 to add to its cyan, fuchsia and black options.
The phone will sport the same “pillow” of a screen that has impressed – indeed surprised – many users, as part of an attractive sales pitch that also includes a nifty Windows Phone interface.
Like its other variants, the white Lumia 800 comes with a handy 8-meg camera and has a pretty impressive AMOLED screen that boasts some of the best contrasts on a small screen (read review).
The white version, shipping in Singapore for S$775 now, should attract users who may have been kept away by the rather unusual-looking cyan and fuchsia. After all, Nokia’s rivals, the Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II, are doing pretty well with their white versions.
Since being launched last year, the Lumia 800 and its lower-end Lumia cousins are said to have seen modest but healthy sales figures. Some 1.3 million Lumias have probably been sold by the end of 2011, according to estimates from analysts interviewed by Bloomberg recently.
Urgh wanna trade my pink one for this!! >_< But it's glossy so not very appealing compared to the nice matt finish on the other coloours
