i HATE nokia, i HATE Microsoft, i HATE myself.
I made a LOT of flame post against the Lumia 830 obsolete CPU, because that choice is a real brainfart, i'm one the many that said "THIS PHONE WILL DIE ALONE IN A LAKE OF HATRED".
But i will buy it. Because is sexy as hell. Because i have a Lumia 925 and i'm happy with it, but that orange back is awesome. Because i can't buy a 930 and lose the Glance. Because i want a freaking MicroSD card in my phone.
Maybe i will switch again with the future 1030, but i have the felling that it will miss MicroSD and i don't like it at all.
Damn this 830 is the most beautiful phone i ever seen, and since i don't play games on my phone this could be the right choice (its totally not the right choice, i want a fast CPU and record 4k video) and i have the feeling its battery will last 2 freaking days.
Ok ok, i just needed to puke out this, i'm ok now :|
The specs for the 830 and 735 are listed on Nokia's international website. If you click on the links for the US website the specific specs are not listed. That should give you a hint that there will be variations in the US just like previous phones as was suspected.
It could also mean that there are no specs listed for the US simply because it's not coming to the US.
I have a question
Are the sides of lumia 830 really made of alluminium or is it only aluminium finish (but actually made of plastic)?
If that were the case, why would it be on the US site in any form whatsoever?
Well any way, Paul Thurott says that the 830 is coming to the US. Apparently the Nokia website has been changed to say so. http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/microsoft-nokia-lumia-830-735-and-530-are-coming-united-states
No word on which carrier(s).
I think MS is listening to us more now so ever know. Under $350 would be the sweet spotWell, I'm still going to hold out with the irrational (and unsupported) hope that the L830 that makes it to the US will somehow be improved upon (be it lower price or higher specs).
In India it will come around ₹ 27000 including taxes
