I would like to see a simple "feature comparison" between Nokia's current phones, and the new Windows phones.  For example, here is a list of N8 features copied from http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8-3252.php.  I'd like Nokia to provide a current list of the features of an N8 (or whatever) with the current Windows phone capability.

Additionally, I'd like to see a list of the major add-ons that are available.  For exampe, Nokia Maps.  Will it work on both platforms, or will it be released for Windows in a future release.  How about multi-tasking?  Multi-touch?  The list goes on and on forever.

Maybe a list like this already exists?  If so, can someone please provie the URL?

(Beneath the pretty front face, there's a computer/phone hidden inside.  I'd lke to know how they compare.)

I do not understand how you managed to not find it, since the Lumia 800 is splashed over the start page of every major Nokia website, but here goes:

You can easily compare any Nokia devices using the web sites, here is a comparison of the N8 from the Nokia UK site:

http://www.nokia.co.uk/gb-en/products/compare/?action=productcompareaction&site=64060&products=23301...

And similar from Nokia Developer:

http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/Comparison.xhtml?dev=Lumia_800,N8-00

Some information may be incomplete at present, since some device details were kept secret until the final moment of the launch so the pages have been prepared withoug all of the data.

Nokia Maps is available for Windows Phone at launch.

Multi-Touch(TM) is the registered trademark of another company, however Windows Phone does feature the common touch features such as swiping, pinch-zooming and so on.

Thanks 'michaels', that's what I was looking for - a side-by-side comparison.

I used to rely on hardware specs when deciding 2 or 3 phones that took my fancy. Now I reliazed that the OS that drives it counts. A cleverly coded OS can round a ring on less powerfull hardware with that of a poorly coded one having a powerfull hardware.
