    Mods please move this thread elsewhere if needed, thanks. :) I purchased a 520 a few months ago, and then another for my wife. We are both using H2O wireless with prepaid minutes (not monthly) plan. When I set them up I put them both under my microsoft account, because I didn't want to...

    Should I still buy a Nokia 520?

    Re: Sould I still buy a Nokia 520? I agree too. This little phone does everything I need, music, podcasts, lite apps, with the bonus of the Nokia GPS apps included.

    Does the AT&T version of 520 come with a Global Navigation License for HERE Maps & Navigation?

    Re: Does the AT&T version of 520 come with a Global Navigation License for HERE Maps & Navigation? Thanks mogelijk! That worked great. Also it is pretty slick that Beta Labs puts a QR code right on the website so I could download straight to phone. Bonus is that I learned how to scan QR...

    Lumia 520 Impressions from a Windows Phone newbie / Mac guy

    Thanks! No I'm using the drag and drop method because my PC is running Vista. (Also the Mac is running 10.6 but requires 10.7 to use the Windows Phone app, which is why I'm having to jump through hoops.)

    Validate my life choices

    I could try to help you with this. I'm new on the forum so I don't know if PMs work yet. I've moved a couple of domains to live.com so I can use Outlook.com mail. Definitely has a process but I got them to work.

    I like Kindle so far too, but is there a way to search? So far I can only scroll through titles or authors, and we've downloaded so many free Kindle books that I can't find what I want without the eternal scroll! :D

    Does the AT&T version of 520 come with a Global Navigation License for HERE Maps & Navigation?

    Re: Does the AT&T version of 520 come with a Global Navigation License for HERE Maps & Navigation? AT&T SIM is required also, or will a prepaid SIM that works on AT&T work too?

    Lumia 520 as a cheap portable media player

    Works fine for me using Runtastic. I don't have a SIM in the phone yet. I needed wifi of course to upload my workout data, which I did at home.

    Buying Lumia 520 at Amazon

    My $99 Lumia 520 arrived from Amazon yesterday. I fired it up, started downloading apps and am learning how to use Windows Phone, and plan to try an H2O wireless sim in it soon. First impression is that this is a fantastic little device for $99, and if I can use it as a prepaid phone too, all...
