You may or may not miss the smaller size, same with the navigation keys.

I think the 730 doesn't have a wireless charging option.

You are probably gonna miss the hardware camera button!
It is the only dissapointing part in this phone for me.

I switched from a 630 (512mb ram) and my general productivity went sky high!
Key points of 730:
-screen (colors, hz)
-screen (slightly curved at the sides)
-and more screen (viewing angles, touch)
-design/ergonomics/clicky buttons
-size
-great sound output with headphones (gets pretty loud)
-battery for atleast 24 hours (1day)

Really champion phone, especially in it's current prize (half of that on it's release)

Glance and the smoother WP(8.0 release), the current one is fairly OK on 8.1 on Snapdragon 400. However Lumia 730 is a solid device.

The Lumia 735 cases work with the Lumia 730 and they have wireless charging

Not correct.

Lumia 735 shells do fit the Lumia 730, but the 730 doesn't feature the wireless charging hardware contacts that are required for wireless charging to work.

With the shell removed the Lumia 735 has 4 gold contacts, 2 for NFC and 2 for wireless charging. The Lumia 730 only features the 2 NFC contacts.
To be clear. Adding a Lumia 735 shell to a Lumia 730 will not make it compatible with wireless chargers.

oh, but it does have the wireless charging option.

I'm going to quote chancooluk a few posts above here.

So 735 yes, 730 no. I admit there was a lot of confusion around it since the announcement.

I just decided to sell my 720 and get a green 730, except glance and camera button, what would i miss?

Thanks

Why oh why Fahmi? The 720 is such a great phone. I am due for an update at the end of this month and seriously debating whether to go for the 830, 640 or just keep my trusted 720. I really like glance, wireless charging and dedicated camera button. Decisions, decisions. Any useful suggestions anyone?
P.S. I have relatively small hands so no XL for me.
