only had my Nokia lumia a few weeks and really like it compared to my previous phone the Sony Xperia tipo
This is my first Windows phone - and my first Nokia since the 3410.
However, first impressions are good. For a low-price phone, it seems fairly responsive, the graphics seem reasonable and my usual dislike of Microsoft products has not applied here yet :wink:
Not ready to give up my Samsung S3 yet, but it seems a pretty fair backup.
Anyone know when the 8.1 update will be available for this phone in the UK please?
I installed a large update, but it still doesn't show as 8.1.
I own a Lumia 520 and I seriously wouldn't recommend it. Within the first 6 months the phone crashed twice, and I had to go and get it to the repair center both times. The power button got stuck, so i had to get it to the center again, within a few months the volume up button followed suite. The charger stopped working sometime during its second crash so I had to use one from an old Alcatel. Then about a week ago, it crashed again. The repair center was a bit far away, and I got fed up with the phone so I decided to take matters into my own hands. Did a soft reset, the phone buzzed thrice, nothing else happened. Charged it for a couple of hours nothing happened. Got it checked up (not in the official repair center, the warranty expired anyways) the guy hooked up a voltage-something machine to the phone and told me that the phone had a problem with electricity and that something went funky with the internals (i forgot his exact words). He told me to send it to Nokia again. I am seriously annoyed with this as the warranty expired a few days before the phone crashed. The phone is sturdy I'll admit, it took a fall from the second floor and remained mostly unscathed, the edge got warped a bit, but it isn't noticeable. But still, the phone barely lasted for a year, don't buy it.
