Lumia 820 Indian Corner

[CaptainChunk41]

Well i would agree with Sanjay Chandra here, the update cycle is very very slow in WP8, forget app updates or new apps, we barely have had a OS update which will fix a visible OS bug, i don't want under the hood improvements! I want those million tiny bugs sorted out, most basic features available, more games (& apps) avaiable rather than the updates which seem to do nothing but change the OS version number.
I used Symbian 60 & Symbian^3 for a long time, then finally switched to WP8, that too because of Nokia, and frankly, even though i like it a lot, my next phone probably wont be a WP(unless it has 41MP Pureview + OIS). I used to cook my own CFW (Custom firmware/ROM) for 5800, and seriously wanted to go for an android, there was so much potential to do customization at the kernel level itself, but i trusted Nokia with WP8, and WP8 has been a let down. Now i think i should've bought a 808.(even after my first 820 stolen, i did not understand god's wish to make me buy an android/808 pureview, i again bought 820). Lets see what will the so many planned updates improve and if they are enough to make me stick to the platform in future.

i used nokia c7 before sifting to windows long back...i loved the os! In fact after belle update i was ready to use it for little longer but the constant reboot and network error was getting annoying and more frequent so i finally gave up using Symbian..i don't know if all Symbian phones have this problems but its very annoying..

How much do i get if I sell 820 now ?

 

[Vaibhav Chauhan]

Depends on how old it is, but my guess would be no more than 18k. Its available for 22.7k on flipkart, and some guy bought it for 21.1k from indiatimes.

Guys I want to buy a rugged shell for my phone, can you tell me if this is a rugged shell and NOT a phone cover? It's awfully confusing. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Yes it is a shell and not a phone cover. It is slightly thicker than the normal shells because a rubber-like layer is fitted around the front and edges of the case for extra protection. It has a matte (rugged) finish.

So, any news on the release of those shells without wireless charging?

If I buy 820 right now, what firmware will I be getting it with? Will it have data sense integrated?

 

[broar94]

Data Sense is based on your operator. I dont think it's integrated with any of the Lumia Phones in India

I also have AIrtel! Can you please share how you got the app working? Thanks a million!

I got this app,after flashing my device using nsu,then I got a data plan 2g (cause 3g is a big battery killer) so in the app I added for how many days it was valid (21 in my case) and added how much data I had (645mb plan in my case) so once I put this info, it automatically deducts the Mb as I use 2g...i love this app,though i fear that in future if I update through ota I might lose this app..i hope I won't cause its quite useful to keep track of which app uses how much data,how much data is left and for how many days =]

Sorry, but what is LBT?

 

[Sanjay Chandra]

I am Vodafone 3G user And I got data sense as well , after flashing with nsu

I got 4 months of free 3G network upto 2 GB cap each month bundled with my Lumia 820 being on Vodafone.

(This is my first phone , so SIM is new one as well)

Got it from 28th Jan 2013 and my 3G expires by 28th May 2013

After getting 1304 update , I got HSPA+ signal and speed of 3.3 mbps ( ~380 Kb/s download speed)

Its a tax the govt is trying to implement. Traders are opposing it and all the shops are shut.
