Months of leaks and speculation on what Nokia’s inaugural Window Phone 7 smartphones would look like did not disappoint at Nokia World in London. The flagship Lumia 800 (codenamed “Sea Ray”) gets the bold look of the N9 and runs Mango rather than MeeGo, while the Lumia 710 (codenamed “Sabre”) is the budget Nokia WP7 with the same perks as the 800.
Lumia 800 and 710 owners will get to enjoy these free apps and services out-of-box: the turn-by-turn voice assisted navigational service Nokia Drive, Nokia Music’s MixRadio streaming app to discover local music around the world, and the ESPN Sports Hub for the latest news, stats and highlight reels. As WP7 devices, both phones will also include 25 GB of free SkyDrive cloud-based storage from Windows. Nokia also teased that Electronic Arts and Sesame Street have signed up to be app partners but would not reveal any more details than that.
