Buying Lumia 730, need some help!

[FAHMI BASSEM]

Currently I'm using the legend 720, I wanted to get the 830 but with its issues no way, so I decided to get the 730!
I need to know some info about the software+ hardware
1. Can any of you confirm that he\she received update 2?
2. Can I install Lumia camera 5 by unlocking the device ?
3. How is the battery life?
4. The camera: Is it better than 720?

Thank you in advanced!

I just updated the 730 to GDR2, see my other thread on it.

Otherwise very happy with the 730. You may also look into the 640. The 640 doesn't have the beautiful slim design as the 730, but it is also a very good phone. The GPS of the 640 is also amazing, getting a lock inside buildings in 5 seconds. Cameras of 640 are worse than 730. So choose what you like best, as they are similar priced.

Battery 640 > 730. Both are great and much better than iPhones and most Androids.

I'm not aware of any widespread 830 issues, so you may just be taking the horror stories out of context/proportion.

1. Some 73x models I think have received Update 2 officially. Others have done it through the Insider trick. Most are probably without altogether.

2. SIM unlocking the device doesn't affect software. Developer unlocking the device probably won't help all that much. Just unlocking the device means you've just turned it on.

3. Check out GSMArena's review, they got some good battery life testing, especially when comparing to other devices. (better than the 920, that's for sure.)

4. I'm not sure if the camera is better, probably since its newer and whatnot, but it seems to be the same, if not similar on paper.

why don't you wait for some new windows 10 device ? Like 740 (If there is any such device in making)
and see S400 is outdated :/

I really would like to get that phone(740) but there's no sign that this phone will be released soon, if there's 740
