“Glossy White” Nokia Lumia 800 coming to Swiss retailers mid-February

January 25, 2012 | By Surur

We have seen rumours and evidence of a white Nokia Lumia 800, but now a Swiss retailer has simply come out and admitted that it will be stocking the handset and also provided an availability date.

When asked Swiss phone retailer MobileZone said the “glossy white” Nokia Lumia 800 will be hitting their shelves in mid-February 2012. See the email exchange below:

Interestingly a similar enquiry to Swisscom, the largest carrier in Switzerland, recieved a negative response – they will only stocking the cyan and black handsets.

It seems if you were waiting for a glossy white handset the wait will not be long.

Thanks Hypi for the tip.

I so want a white Lumia 800 (or 900 when it’s out). That looks really good.

Cool.

(still don’t get people’s obsession with white objects but whatever, more power to them lol)

Maybe because every high end smartphone released in the past years has been black, black, black.. When you have a white device (just the opposite of black) it will certainly be noticed and be ‘something different’.. I understand it why it is so wanted.

I see, makes sense ^^.

Wasn’t there also a rumor that this was a second Gen 800 with an FFC? Someone posted that on one site or another.

huh the original mail is in german but this translation is nearly unreadable, even for me as a non-native I translated it for you as good as I can:

Good day
