That little extra bit of screen size surely isn't worth that much. I'm sure they might be paying MS some sort of licensing fee, so why the hell is it so much cheaper? It feels like a slap in the face for those who want Nokia HW and more importantly SW.

Nokia wants to recoup those millions they put to developing
MeeGo. Windows Phone they did not have to put R&D resources into.

N9 also got higher reso screen, NFC, front camera and 1GB of RAM, all missing from 800.

As N9 64GB owner i see no reason for 800, might get 710.

I think you'd have to put a gun to my head to force me to use the anything with MS logo stamped to it.

I highly unlikely be buying any of the WP7 phones, I think I'm stuck with Android (Ice cream looks good with multi-tasking), or Tizen if Samsung can be bothered to make a phone with decent build quality, decent microphone and loudspeaker - i.e. built for voice clarity not acting like a chav and blasting music.

Depends on whether it's available for WP7.5 - you can't just install the desktop version, and I doubt that it's as simple as just recompiling for ARM either.
