Trustable: Flipkart, Infibeam

Cheapest : ebay (generally)

But be careful when buying from Ebay, check seller reputation.

I can assure you that the L520 is in no way inferior in build to the galaxy ace. The 520 has a slightly larger glass surface than the ace and therefore will always be a little more prone to cracking than the ace but not something I'd let my choice of phone rest on.

If you still arent sure, go with the ace. I dont want somebody blaming me later

There you go.

Get the App "QuickSetting"

Are you kidding me.
It's built-in with the launcher. Launcher is "Windows Themes" equivalent in Android.
You will get the shortcuts for wifi, data toggle, volume, GPS toggle etc.. right from the notification bar. Just pull down the bar from top. You can customize the options from settings.

And yes, "Quick Settings" is a nice app for handy shortcuts to some settings which aren't in notification bar.

PS: Didn't notice it was Lumia thread. Sorry for off topic answer, to an offtopic question. :]

I am currently using Quick settings since it has wifi/data sate visible on the mini live tile itself. Gonna check out Insider, looks pretty heavily built . Thanks extremevicky

congrats.please inform me after getting your phone. I just want to know how good the seller is.

Even I wanted to buy it locally or from Flipkart but the cost was around 9.5K.

When I try to pull down the notifications bar, it shows icons and disappear after some time, am I doing something wrong? I'm new to windows phone.

Thanks, will try that.

What Notifications bar?
WP has no notifications bar. You pin the apps you want to see the notifications from into your homescreen and let the live tiles update. You can also set 6 apps to display some info directly into the lockscreen from settings. When you swipe from the top you will only see the status icons like Signal strength, GPRS, VIbrate mode, time etc

That's what I meant.

Yeah!! I do miss the notification area of android . Its a bit painful to toggle wifi/bluetooth/GPS on WP. But then, I can turn them on and forget (which was a battery killer on my POP).

You can use Quick settings app and pinned the Wifi, Bluetooth, location, data tiles to the homescreen, if you havent already. Not perfect, but definitely usable IMO.

Got it for 8800/- It is a good price ? Or should be cheaper?

How to turn off that touch vibration?

 

[pranav0091]

Congrats

No way to disable haptic feedback, unfortunately.

8.8k is a good deal, no worries

PS: Who's this Owl?
