Replace Lumia 800 with 720 or 620

[mauriciod73]

I've had a Lumia 800 for a while now and I really like it, but extensive use and a damaged wall charger have taken a toll on it, The once great battery life is now bad, and due to my wall charger, I can leave it all night connected and still be at 0 charge. I've read pretty good things about both the 720 and 620, so I'd like to know what you would recommend (I'd prefer the 925 or 1020, but they're to expensive).

I've been reading about both, and am a little disappointed that they both have a lower dpi than my 800, but that's not the most important part

Go with the 720 . Larger screen + Gorilla glass. Better battery backup.

Lumia 720 all the way.

Bigger screen, better camera and s design that to me is the definition of the Lumia design.

will the 720 get the amber update?

will the 720 get the amber update?

Yes it will. No eta when.

obviously 720 as it is the superior device when compared to 620,but if your budget is limited then 620 is for you

I have just moved from 800 to 720, battery life is simply double, dpi is not noticeable, only issue is with IPS LCD which looks washed out as compared to AMOLED in 800, but I heard Amber will bring in some improvements on this, let me know if u hv any questions, happy to answer,

Do you miss the storage capacity of the 800? (16GB) Here Maps vs Nokia Drive?

I've just started using it, SD card should be able to accommodate all my music and then 8gb for apps would be sufficient for me, heard that Maps can now be stored in Sd card after Amber, I need to verify that. I'll miss Nokia drive as I travel a lot and I need maps for all the countries I travel to, if license is available for here drive+ I'll buy one(heard it costs abt 15 euros but need to check if its launched in my country).

i did replace my NL 800 with NL 720 just 3 weeks ago. i accidently dropped and broke my NL 800. shifted to 720 and really happy. compared 620 & 720, 720 is much better and worth the extra cost. if u want a midway option, 625 is also launched now, which gives u literally midway.
