Seeing that you are THE Lumia expert around here can you give me your views on the 720 I have just ordered as my upgrade? Good choice or? I have chosen it because of the large battery and the Gorilla glass...

Lumia 720 is a great phone too. I like Lumia 620 due to its smaller size and curved corners, feels good in your hand.

We do not care about that kind of trolls that you are Lumiaman. We all know that you do not have all the horses at home. The rat race does not rotate with you. You are what we call a 99, that is not quite 100

Lumia 920 was way too big and a but buggy. They tried to pack too much in that behemoth.

You know why they call it a Lumia 920?
Because that's exactly how many of them they've sold, and how much they intend to charge for it.

920

How about 520, I'd expect that to hit even better price/performance spot as it's got almost the same specification as 620, minus the front camera (which I never have used anyway in any of the devices I have owned...)

Unfortunately it is not yet available in Finland, but it is expected to be around 150eur when it's launched.

Lumia 520 is another great phone. Can't go wrong with either. I just prefer 620 shape, fits better in my hand....

my wife's Lumia locked up again this weekend, she wasnt even doing anything on it, had to google how to start it up again, thought it turned into a shiny white brick

Re: The super miniscule Lumia thread
 
so my wife has finally pwned her Lumia

I call her hulk hands because how rough she is on tech.

Anyways, she was texting with one hand, and the phone somehow slipped and hit our tile floor screen first, and it sounded like a picture frame hitting the ground

That's not the first instance of an x20 Lumia screen shattering like that. A friend in work dropped his from a sofa to a carpeted floor and the screen did something similar. Didn't seem to have been as big an issue of the x00 line though.

Lumiaman 2013-06-19 10:52

Re: The super miniscule Lumia thread
 
Yep, that screen is not that dissimilar to so many dropped smartphones including iphone you see daily around you.... I guess someone will need to start making bullet proof screens to prevent such shatter.

Bought a Lumia 520 last month.
Overall it is a very nice device for a good price.
My experience with the Windows Phone 8 OS is a mixed bag.
It looks nice, but after some weeks of use I'm still not sure that the typographic "metro" UI is an improvement over the more traditional buttons and icons.
The application-selection is limited and a lot of developers clearly still need to get a hang writing metro style interfaces (even within Microsoft). Some applications are just terribly confusing, others work remarkably fast and intuitive.
For example the touchdevelop app from Microsoft research is confusing and the (later pulled) Microsoft Youtube application is really good.
Since Microsoft is betting so big on modern/metro UI, they really need to do a much better job in convincing people these typographic interfaces are an improvement.
I was also surprised that the user interface actually is often rather different from Windows 8. It looks similar, but Windows 8 uses swipes and gestures much more than Windows Phone 8 does.

I also experienced a fair amount of bugs. So I would advise people to wait for the Amber update that is planned for next month. I experienced problems registering my microsoft account and the application update feature in the store seems to be broken, also had some crashes and reboots.
I will reserve my judgement to see if WP8 can become my primary phone OS until that update. For now I'm glad I didn't buy a more expensive WP.
In my opinion 160 euro is a good price to test WP, and you really should try WP before you switch!

My wife did the same to her Lumia 800. I bought a replacemnet screen on eBay for £23! It included the digitizer etc. Replaceing it too no more than 30 mins and it works perfectly again.

nice, not a bad price, I was a bit hesitant to get one off ebay, I had been reading stories of people buying them for their l920s and the screen looking bad/not working/losing touch sensitivity et cetera, I just decided to bite the bullet and get her a genuine nokia one

Nope. That is a touchscreen phone.

I must admit I was sceptical but for less than £25 I thought I would give it a try, and glad i did. The nerve racking part of the replacement process was pushing the new screen in. It needs to be lined up well with the bottom tabs in place and then pushed home firmly.

Very satisfied and now tempted to do my N9 and even change the outer casing

Re: The super miniscule Lumia thread
 
so I replaced the screen last night on my wifes phone, it was pretty simple, the hardest part was the double sided take, it was a little hard to separate the portion you needed from the scrap, but eventually it went together
