Upgrade from 710. Your suggestions please..

[AV2RY]

I need this phone for my brother, 13. He currently has 710 and I want WP8 phone for him, he doesn't want android. I did bought 925 from Craigslist but yesterday it got blacklisted unfortunately and I can't do anything about it.

Anyways, I'm not going for another high-end device. But it must have flash and front camera. Internal storage is not so important, but with 1GB RAM will be best option, he likes games and some don't work with 512 RAM

So what's in your mind except Lumia 810? it has ugly design

PS. I'm on T-Mobile service and probably I'll need unlocked device

I suggest you to wait until MS announce the L730 and 830

Other than being ugly, I don't think the Lumia 810 is getting anymore updates.

I would recommend waiting for the Lumia 730 and 830.

Currently, cheapest 1 GB ram-525
Cheapest with flash and ffc-620
As the others suggested, wait for 730/830 or buy a used 820/920/925 at a cheap price.

How about going for a Lumia 920 right now? It is still an amazing phone and you can probably get it for less than the 925.

My concern is that normally unlcoekd devices might not get LTE or better-than-EDGE data speeds but since you ruled out everything TMo has, we might have to go outside that.

I saw some refurb Samsung ATIV S Neos going for cheap on eBay before.
I'd pick up an 820 for him if i had to do now, but I'd just wait a bit because a couple more models are slated to appear.

Lumia 625 can do.
Otherwise, like others, I will suggest to wait for 730.
It mostly will be announced on 4th Sept on Germany and available in a month globally (as says the rumours)

The Lumia 830 would be a solid upgrade.

Wait for it, hopefully September 4th.

I'll probably wait until new ones get released. But no way I'm getting Samsung or HTC for him

new generation is arrived completely. now u have a good range to choice from.
530, 630, 730, 830, 930.... all are here in India.

go for which suits ur needs and ur budget. always think about needs first. ur budget is high, doesnot mean u have to buy higher model. u better buy what u need rather than investing more in flagship.
