Thanks
When i used to use whatsapp on my 920 it used to hardly last till evening. Else it would have had someting like 15% left by 10 in the evening after starting the day at ~95% full charge from the previous night
UPDATE:
First Major WP goofup. Cant restore my apps from my 920. Apparently I have to do this when I first login to the phone, but at the stage when its supposed to ask for me if I wish to restore my backup, it hasnt even got the wifi settings. And once you have seen the homescreen there is no way to restore the backup. Basically there is no way to backup the phone from a saved image from the cloud. Thats a major flaw
Atleast contacts and messages sync automatically once you login. Including the custom groups and linked users/accounts and all that. Pretty hassle free if not for the unusable backup feature.
Quick thoughts: Maps is significantly slower and less responsive than on the 920, but equally usable by the looks of it.
The volume button and the other buttons are also a major downgrade but thats understandable given its priced about one third of the 920. Everything else feels equally snappy. And finally back to this keyboard. Phew. Struggled with the swype on the optimus - I just cant use that thing. The sad part is that I have to now let the keyboard get used to my style over time and by that time I wont have this phone with me. My 920 used to nearly read my mind whenever I wanted to message someone. Damn! I miss it
Changing songs by swiping the album art feels a tad less smooth, but it could be just placebo. Cant quite tell. Has the same 'wait' when opening a set of mp4 songs that I saw on the 920. Overall sound is very close to the 920 at stock settings, mids are identical, possibly the highs too, a tad less strong bass on the 520 and overall a slight lack of emotion. But quite close to the 920. Though i dont miss the equalizer yet as I used the Normal setting on the 920 as well, I can see why someone with less capable earphones will find this omission a glaring error. Note: If possible get the E10 from Soundmagic.
I havent used any recent 10k android phones, but this just confirms my suspicions. L520 is brilliant VFM as a phone despite the lack of front cam or flash. Its identical in behaviour to my 920 that costed me over 4 times this amount except for the slightly slower respoding maps for all I can tell. And thats quite an achievement.
WP as an OS has quite some way to go though. That backup fiasco is not something I'll forget anytime soon.
