Any Nokia Lumia users/fans here?

Well now I'm a quandary. The offer I have puts the 625 in the same practically free price bracket as the 520 or 620, when actually its pricepoint is probably somewhere betwen the 720 and 820 - on that basis I should snap it up.

On the other hand, it's just that one notch down in spec, primarily screen and RAM, and as noted we can expect new phones for WP8.1. So I probably snap this up now or wait with 7.8 until 8.1 comes out.

Just get an iPhone, there is no comparison.

Surely the number scheme indicates that it will eventually be the replacement for the 620 and so will eventually drop to that price point.

When / are replacements for the 720 / 820 due?

No, the 625 is about as dissimilar from the 620 as possible - it is a budget phone but a budget 4G large-screen phone.

[woohoo]

I've got the 920 and love it. Recommended it to a client and he hates it, misses his iPhone. Learnt my lesson, now I wont recommend anything unless I can hide behind an anonymous internet identity.

I recommend the 920.

IE browser on WP (7 and 8) has some limitations, particularly annoying is the lack of proper text wrapping, as listed on the windows phone feature requests which you can vote on...


Add Text Wrapping/Reflow to improve browsing experience!

Sorry to hijack the thread - I have put 3 votes on this - I encourage others to do the same!

Had the 900 for a while until it ended up in the washing machine courtesy of the girlfriend. Decided to get the 620 after that due to its £160 ish price point - and support for wifi/wifi hotspot which is essential to me. Despite the slightly smaller screen, in many respects just as good - or even better due to the windows phone 8 support. I've used the GPS whilst holidaying abroad on more than one occasion. Don't make much use of the camera however.

If I was choosing now (and I am tempted), I'd go for the 920 which is about 230 on amazon.

I greatly prefer the user interface on this phone to the Android or iphone, I found when using the android I was having to click and scroll around much more to get to where I wanted -although I didnt really spend too much time configuring that phone - you wont know until you try it.

One thing to bear in mind is the cheaper model nokia's appear to have screens that will smash quite easily, I've gone through two on my 620, one was via dropping it about 1.5-2 foot from my hand to a concrete floor - each time the touch screen has not worked at all. A friend of mine is still able to use his smashed iphone. I believe the 920 has a stronger screen.

Having the nokia windows phone gives you access to a few more apps as well. Recently they have added vine & instagram which may be nokia only. It's worth taking a look at the windows app store online to see if you can get what you need from it.

One neat feature on several of the new Lumias, though not all, is touchscreens that still work if you use a fingernail or are wearing gloves.

The nokia aps are a deal clincher to that manufacturer for me, nokia transit is a good tool. Downloadable maps and languages as well for traveling, don't have to roam for info.

And it will call random people in your contacts when its in your pocket?
