Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Guys I have Lumia 520 but I am thinking of switching to Symbian Belle phone Nokia C7 or N8 until phones with Android 5.0 arrives.Am I crazy for thinking this as im kinda bored with WP and Belle looks interesting even if Symbian is dead as I am not really an app freak.

930 more expensive than 1520, which has bigger screen, bigger battery, glance screen and MicroSD lots.:shock: :shock: :shock:

Online retail sites price would be a little bit less I think so..im just glad they launched 930. Nokia always launch its flagship phone with a high price tag and then its price gets reduced over a period of time.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

frankly i see the newer lumias (except maybe 830 and 930) as downgrades from their predecessors in many ways
730 doesnt have glance,camera button,capacitive keys etc
630 and 530 speak for itself compared to 520,525,620
plus pricing is wayy too much except maybe the 730 which is decently priced at 15k

Actually, Nokia has messed up with the naming schemes this time. :p

520/525 successor --> 630
620 successor --> 730
720 successor --> 830
820 successor --> 930
:rolleyes:

but they all are downgrades
630 lacks sensors like proximity etc,has 512mb ram whereas 525 has 1gb and 52X has all the sensors etc
620 had glance,camera button and capacitive keys,730 doesnt have those
830 can be considered an upgrade from the 720 but 28k is a joke for a phone with otherwise similiar hardware to the 730 or even the 720(in terms of cpu performance)
820 had an sd card slot and glance,930 lacks both and costs 38k

i dont see any of them as upgrades overall especially since you can get the older lumias sealed etc in the local market for less and more features etc

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Just wandering if Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 on the 630/730 is better than Snapdragon S4+ MSM8227 processor on the 52x,620,720.

Anyone know anything about it?? And, Is the 730 worth buying?

no,they are nearly same in performance
the SD400 is slightly faster in rendering webpages
the SD S4's GPU is slightly better

730 is totally worth getting,though i wouldnt consider it an "upgrade" over my 720 because of lack of glance,capacitive keys and camera button
however 730 is still a great buy

Actually, it's good because when Lumia WP 8.0 phones were released, several people worried about the accidental touching of capacitive keys and the non-illuminated buttons when accessing the phone in darkness. On-screen capacitive keys are way accessible and handy, as would'nt have to worry about the keys while gaming.

still the look and feel of capacitive keys is something i would have prefered
its nice that the 830 has them though its pricing is not nice
i guess options are a good thing though

830 would have been a beautiful device. But they SCREWED!!! it up by placing the MicroSD on top, which looks UGLY.
