Nokia has unveiled its first Windows Phone devices, the Lumia 800 and Lumia 701.
CEO Stephen Elop took to the stage at Nokia World in London to show off the new device, claiming the Lumia 800 was the "first real Windows Phone".
"The world is ready for something new, something more beautiful, and something more integrated," Elop said.
