The Lumia 800 was a WP7.5 device. It's a bit different now with WP8. Battery doesn't suck anymore with the NT kernel, we do have mass storage and it doesn't require Zune anymore. It's a simple MTP device. I can actually plug it into a CentOS 6.5 machine and copy files on and off it quite happily including music/videos. IMAP is very reliable (better than my wife's iPhone), Google search is integrated into the browser. I can't say I've tried telegram/whatsapp/bittorrent sync or VNC though.
