Nokia Lumia 800 has been long available for purchase in the United States SIM-free and unlocked as part of a special bundle via Microsoft Store, and is now more appealing than before.

Microsoft has decided to cut the price tag for the bundle from $899 to only $599 (€490), which should attract more users to this device.

For those out of the loop, we should note that the package includes, in addition to the Lumia 800, a pair of Nokia Purity HD stereo headphones by Monster, a Nokia Play 360° wireless Bluetooth speaker, and a Nokia Luna Bluetooth headset.

As WPCentral notes, these accessories alone cost $429 ($150 for Play 360, $79 for the Luna BT headset, and $200 for the Purity HD headset), which means that, at $599 for the bundle, users will pay only $170 (€139) for an unlocked Lumia 800.

This is the first handset that Nokia launched with the Windows Phone platform loaded on top of it, and it landed in the US unlocked with support for AT&T’s network.

The handset can deliver a great entertainment experience, and the accessories included in this package provide users with the possibility to get the most out of it.

“The Lumia 800's seamless one-piece body gives you a slick look with a clearly defined interface that's simple to use,” the phone’s description reads on Microsoft’s Store.

“Your music will sound great over the Purity HD headphones, which not only deliver premium audio, but are lightweight and comfortable with soft ear pads—ideal for long listening sessions. When you want to share your tunes, the Play 360° fills your room with powerful and clear 360-degree sound.”

“And with the Luna Bluetooth headset, you can talk hands-free for up to eight hours—perfect for those marathon teleconferences or long calls with family and friends,” the description also notes.
