I was able to get a Nokia Lumia 800 as a developer gift from Nokia. and it seems that it doesn't have the common battery issues that people have.

At first it did, would shut off at 20%. Messed around with just connecting and getting data using DPM and Nokia Care Suite after updating it to Mango 8107 and it started working just fine.

I am on the 11451 firmware and my Diagnostic app steadily always shows 1516-1520mAh for full charge. Only thing weird, it says "Charged 65535%" for the battery percentage. I have checked it daily for the last week, no change to the full charge capacity.

Here are my specs to help, and a shot of my phone's diagnostic screen.

Carrier: AT&T USA
Firmware: 1600.2479.7740.11451
Hardware Revision: 112.1402.2.3
OS: 7.10.8107.79

Nokia Care Suite Info
Product Code: 059J3G0

At some point I was able to pull the Variant and it was something like "RM-801 EURO MATT BLACK" or something, I can't find it atm. I think it was in DPM, but I updated my DPM and it won't launch now.

Also, there isn't an 11500/11501 release on DPM for this model, or on Zune.

I thought this could be useful for those trying to figure stuff out.

Images of my Diagnostic app:
i have the same developer phone.. I just got an update notification.. the battery wassn't bad in the old one.. But Windows Phone has better battery..

I have a devgift too, the battery life is fine for me. The only things i noticed is that it charges to jus over 1300mah, while i says the max is 1500.
In the diagnostics app it also says my battery is ay)t 60000%, but the battery icon at the top of the screen just works.

Im now installing the nee update, hopefully i can get even mote battery out of it.

Edit: just tot the 11500 update
