Does the Lumia 630 fulfill my needs?

- I'm not playing games on my phone, so graphics performance is not first priority.
- I'm not taking selfies, so I dont need a front cam. The other camera should deliver acceptable snapshots. //The 630 is good enough in this regard.
+ I want bluetooth to work without a problem. I have a Sennheiser MM550-X and it should be no problem to connect. //Hmm. Not sure about this. Windows Phone tends to act erratically in regards to Bluetooth.
+ I want to be able to open facebook, close it (or background), open skype, close it (or background), open youtube, close it, open a browser, close it and so on without big lag. If that is possible with the 630 I'm going to buy it. //I have a 630, and it does exactly this quite nicely.
+ I want a phone with good support. LG's support is crap! //Good. You're going to have to rely on Nokia Care, then.
+ I want a phone which is cheaper than the Nexus 6 will be. Otherwise I'm going to buy Nexus 6. //sub-$200 price screams cheap.
+ I want a phone with round corners. Thats why I dont like phones such as the 1020. 930's corners are ok, but the phone is too expensive. //The 630'll be fine, then.

Hello Windows Phone users,

this is my first post and I want to buy my first WP. After a long history of the old Nokia phones in the early 2000's I bought my first Smartphone a few years ago: Samsung Galaxy S. I was happy with it until it got slower and slower - maybe also due to Cyanogenmod although it should be fast. However, I bought a LG P880 2 years ago and in the beginning I was happy with it. After a while and installing several apps it got ridiculously slow. I realized, that it is due to the high RAM usage. It has 1 Gig, 600 MB is taken from Android and with facebook, skype and a browser open, the phone is unuseable - with the stock ROM as well as with Cyanogenmod. I get very angry when I have to wait 10-20 seconds until facebook opens with such a phone.. this shouldn't be a problem at all.

So thats my history and my problems with smartphones. Due to the reason, that Android somehow seems to require more and more resources, I want to try other phones. I'm open to everything - in my work I have a BackBerry Z10, but I dont like the OS. I love the design and looks of iPhones, but it's too expensive, I like the possibilities of Android, but it requires to many resources. So I want to try Windows Phone now. I saw the 630 from a friend and really liked how fluent everything goes with this phone. He opens Facebook and it's almost immediately there - no big lag or whatever. I also like the design, although it could be a bit thinner. But what really concerns me is the 512 MB RAM in that phone. 1 GB on my P880 was clearly not enough and I want to exchange it with a phone with 512 MB. Is that really enough? Here are the things I'm going to make:

- I'm not playing games on my phone, so graphics performance is not first priority.
- I'm not taking selfies, so I dont need a front cam. The other camera should deliver acceptable snapshots.
+ I want bluetooth to work without a problem. I have a Sennheiser MM550-X and it should be no problem to connect.
+ I want to be able to open facebook, close it (or background), open skype, close it (or background), open youtube, close it, open a browser, close it and so on without big lag. If that is possible with the 630 I'm going to buy it.
+ I want a phone with good support. LG's support is crap!
+ I want a phone which is cheaper than the Nexus 6 will be. Otherwise I'm going to buy Nexus 6.
+ I want a phone with round corners. Thats why I dont like phones such as the 1020. 930's corners are ok, but the phone is too expensive.

I did a little research already for Nokia phones, but I dont have a clue about the performance. What are my options? Wait for 730, 830? I would immediately buy the Lumia 638 if it would be available here in Austria.

Sorry for the long post, I really want to get a good phone this time and wanted to tell you my needs

Best,
Swoncen

Whatever phone suits your needs go for it.
