nokia lumia 800 phone with front camera, Tap Into Your Nokia Lumia 800

Take one Nokia Lumia 800, one laptop or PC and a copy of Zune and you have a neat and slick way to update your smartphone to the latest version. With the news that the Nokia Lumia 1600.2483.8106.11500 firmware update is now live, it seems like a couple opportunity to share this video. 

If you're new to Windows Phone then knowing how to get the latest updates may be something you'll need to get to grips with. Thankfully, Nokia has putt together this video aimed at giving even the most non-tech savvie Nokia Lumia 800 user the skills to keep their smartphone up-to-date.

The second update (1600.2483.8106.11500) has been designed to enhance battery performance and improve Wi-Fi connectivity. Nokia UK has informed us that it should start rolling out to handsets from this evening, but not all Nokia Lumia 800s will receive it  straight away. As ever with such software update, it'll be a staggered launch, so some users will receive it next week.

In its latest version, Windows Phone is the best thing Microsoft makes. Sadly, it’s never had hardware that really feels like a truly premium product – until now.

Nokia's Lumia 800 features full satnav capabilities 

The Nokia Lumia 800 is, according to CEO Stephen Elop, “the first real Windows Phone”. Other models, made by HTC and Samsung, have been decent enough, but they don’t offer the solidity of the new Lumia 800.

The operating system now boasts over 40,000 apps, too, so the two companies can claim that the partnership is already driving increased momentum for Microsoft's superb operating system.

And although the seamless polycarbonate shell and the solidity of the device are impressive, in fact it’s the Windows Phone software that really shines. Teamed with Nokia’s excellent design and camera heritage, there’s a lot to like, whether it’s the Office integration, gaming with Xbox live or simply social network integration.

The 3.7” screen offers Super AMOLED resolution, and Windows Phone’s living tiles really do look impressive; showing you the weather, a boarding pass or a friend’s photograph, the display hardware here is as good as this software needs. And the phone’s tactile, matte finish means the Lumia is not like the bar of soap that many other phones often seem to be modelled on. It’s also pleasingly weighted, at 142g.

Unique apps on the Lumia are limited; Nokia Drive offers a decent satnav alternative, but so do iOS apps and so does Google Maps on any Android phone. A Music app provides pre-arranged playlists, for people who would like a radio substitute. Elsewhere, of course, other Windows Phone apps can be downloaded from the main Microsoft Marketplace.
