Отзывы о Телефон Nokia 215 4G DS (TA-1613)

Seriously, you cannot buy a better smartphone at this price. I purchased mine at my local corporate AT&T store for $99 during the pre-sale. I received the phone on Friday the 6th and as someone who has had Blackberry's, Windows Mobile (old versions), several Android devices and even tried an iPhone for a while, this is the best phone I have ever used.The phone itself is solid, well built and has a great feel to it. It is heavier than some other phones, but that is actually a good thing. No plastic feel here. The screen is a nice 4.3" inches which to me is the sweet spot. Not too big yet not too small. I think the iPhone's screen is a bit too small and some of those 4.7 inch screens just are a tad too big. My previous phone is a HTC Inspire which also has a 4.3 inch screen. It is also is easy to read and see the screen in the outdoor sunlight. Something my Inspire struggled with.This is actually my first Windows Phone 7, so I am new to the whole OS.Setup - A breeze!!! No need for instructions or looking online, this was very intuitive. Email setup with my Corporate Exchange server was as simple as putting in my email address and password. Magically, everything started syncing, contacts, email, calendar, task, etc. I also setup my Gmail and Hotmail accounts within seconds. I saved all of my photos from my old phone to a MS SkyDrive account. Log in to your Windows Live account on your phone and everything is there. No hassle, no mess, no worry.Apps - Yes, the reports are true, there are less apps in the Windows Marketplace then on Google's or Apple's. Before deciding on giving this phone a chance I checked the Windows marketplace to see what apps I would miss if I did move. There are some, but nothing that was a deal breaker for me. Your mileage may vary, and I recommend you do this as well before jumping into a Windows device. Most of the major apps are there for me and in fact, some are so much better on the Windows phone. They take nice advantage of not only the Live Tiles on the home screen but the apps seem more integrated into the OS. Check ESPN, Fourquare, CNN, and some other major apps. You will be pleasantly surprised.OS - I was absolutely surprised on how much I like this OS. It is just better than Android and favorably compares to iOS. It is fluid, fast and very responsive. Gone for me is the constant lag of Android and the same old bunch of screens with icons. It may not be for everyone, but if you give it a fair shake, I think most will like it. The integration with Office and the ease of email setup is fantastic. The onscreen keyboard beats any keyboard I have used in Android and the iPhone.Phone - Obviously, this is a phone so that functionality is important. I actually really liked my Inspire and I am a fan of HTC phones, but I found myself constantly dropping calls and lately it seemed to get worse. I also was doing hard resets on the phone every couple days (turning off, battery out) just to get things working again. With the Lumia 900, areas where I knew the calls would drop because they always have, did not. The call quality is great. People on the other end of the line say I sound much better than I did with the HTC. I also had a maximum of 2 bars of signal in my home with the HTC, on the Nokia I get at least three and sometimes 4. I also have yet to drop or miss a call on the Nokia, something I was so used to happening on the HTC daily. Speakerphone is loud, louder than the HTC which is great when driving. BlueTooth setup took seconds in my car and I was able to play Zune through BT onto the car audio system easily. I am new to Zune as well, but they seem to have a great selection and I could only find one band not on Zune that was on iTunes. Obviously iTunes has the edge here, but Zune is no slacker.Battery - Inspire - max 5 hours before it has to be charged, and this is typical of most android devices. This phone has gone on for over 13 hours without a charge and still has juice in it. This week during work will be more telling of the actually battery performance, but it is much better than the any Android device I have used.All in all, this is a great phone and one I can recommend to just about anyone. Would I recommend moving from iPhone to WP7, maybe, maybe not. Depends on how much you like the iPhone. The iPhone is a great phone, no denying that but for me, I prefer a larger screen, and until the iPhone 5 comes out with a larger screen, its just not for me. Would I recommend moving from an Android device to WP7 -- absolutely. Give it a try and you might like it better. Android has its strengths, but WP7 is more polished and faster and just works better.This may be the phone that gives Microsoft and Nokia the push they need to become a contender.4/10/2012 Edit: Took the phone off the charger around noon today and have used it moderately today (couple calls, facebook, twitter, streaming about 1hrs worth of music off Pandora, very few SMS messag

First of all,I do not have any bias over any brand,I like both Apple,Google,Microsoft,Nintendo products, even some products from Sony, Toshiba,etc.Whoever make the best product with good value,I will use it.Not Samsung products,2 of my Samsung products both failed me.My first smart phone was Sony Ericsson P910i, that phone was great.Then I changed to Nokia E61, boy, the build quality of that phone is amazing! Like a tank!I still use that phone at home as a VoIP phone (connect with Asterisk SIP server over WiFi),still using that phone as a back-up GPS (Tomtom with cool Austin Powers's voice. )Over the years, I used P910i, Nokia E61, iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G,3GS, Samsung Galaxy S and more.(And use many more phones in short period of time, like BB curve, HTC 8925, Palm 650, iPhone 4, 4S, about 20 different models )We just bought an iPad 3 in March break. My wife love it, but it's nothing inspire to me.After reading good reviews on Amazon, I bought black one from Rogers Wireless in Canada the second day was available, I bought the last one in the store,so it was selling well even no Ads, no display, no poster, no dummy phone in the store!!!Nokia Lumia 900 is the only phone I keep playing after I got it since the iPhone 2G, the original one.And it impressed me more than the original iPhone.Apple and Google are talking about Post-PC blah, blah.But Microsoft is the one really sit down and re-think what the future should be!They seems find a vision(with Ray Ozzie's help?) on the next-gen mobile communication/computing platform.The way WP7 link,search,organize,display the information, wow, will make billions of people's digital life better.With this OS on the Nokia hardware and services, the Nokia lumia 900 is miles better than any smart phone!Many other reviews said many great things about the phone, I just want to add a few things:0. Dont worry about Apps, Microsoft Visual Studio is the best IDE, (Better than Eclipse. ) writing apps in .net is very productitive, Nokia is selling Lumia in good volume now, developers will jump in, I may even write some apps myself!1. You can link contacts from everywhere, google, my old hotmail account, rarely used facebook, etc. And use the picture on the facebook with the contacts on Google!2. When you upload a picture to the Skydrive or facebook, it will detect faces in the picture, so you can add tags!3. You can press and hold the middle button to make call, just say it, it even recognize my accent!4. press and hold search button, you can do music, image search, and it can do OCR! Will translate words in the picture!5. I like the edge of the screen, you can feel where the glass ends.6. The first version of Nokia Drive won't allow offline search, you need to update to the newest one. Nokia drive is offline, very good if you go oversea or your 3G/LTE connection is not very good. Nokia Lumia 900 use both GPS and GLONASS, it lock in very fast, much better than my old Samsung galaxy S, even quicker than iPhone. Nokia drive also have voice in many language, I remember my Vietnamese friends asking me about voice guide in Vietnamese,now he can have it for his parents!!7. To install Skype, you can go to Skype web site, then send a SMS to your phone, then you can install.8. If you need Google Voice, You can use GoVoice.It's ever better than for me, because I can use it in Canada. Google Voice app for android will not allow you to use it outside of USA.9. There are many very useful Chinese Apps, Bing dictionary, '''' dictionary, '', '''''''etc.10. For users in Canada, you can add apn to temporarily fix the data connection problem: apn: rogers-core-appl1.apn user name: wapuser1 password: wap proxy: 10.128.1.6911. Speaker phone very clear and loud, not as loud as Nokia E61, but way much better than any Samsung/HTC I used before12. Battery life is good, finally I can sync my emails every 15 minutes! I had to turn off email sync on my old Samsung galaxy! I always wondering if Samsung lies on their specs? Battery life on spec always look good, but not in real-life.A few minor things: (Thanks for db's comment, I found solutions for 3,4)1. Google finance web site looks bad in IE.2. Email client can't archive gmail.3. Can not force close App. - YOU ACTUALLY CAN BY GOING INTO SETTINGS, SWIPE OVER TO APPLICATION PAGE AND GO INTO "BACKGROUND TASKS". THIS IS UNNECESSARY THOUGH AS WINDOWS PHONE "TOMBSTONES" APPS WHICH MEANS THEY AREN'T USING ANY CPU AND WILL BE KICKED OUT OF MEMORY AS ITS NEEDED BY THE PHONE FOR TASKS BEING USED.4. Where to find out how many battery left ? No way to turn on/off WiFi easily. - THERE ARE A COUPLE APPS THAT GIVE YOU DIRECT ACCESS TILES TO CERTAIN SETTINGS. "CONNECTION TILES" IS ONE OF THEM. "CONNECTIVITY SHORTCUTS" IS ANOTHER.Overall, amazing phone, go get it, play a few days, the more you use it, the more you will appreciate the OS/hardware.Nokia Lumia 900 is the next big thing:Best mobile device for the Post-PC era

I gave one star just for the look, other wise it's very bad phone, I rather pay a bit more get something that works, some times I can pickup the phone it gets stuck,
Also to the caller it shows it's ringing but nothing in my side,
Very disappointed.

Fantastic value for money, large screen, not the highest spec in the world but still packs a punch in what you get for your money...It's great!!!

This phone was bought on 3rd October, in just 3 months it has developed a fault and for some stupid reason amazon are saying I can't return it for a repair. This is utterly stupid, and I'm pretty sure is againt eu law.

Its user friendly. It has similar functions with my windows 8 laptop. When I am going to work from outside town I simply send information to my phone and carry my usb cable. Upon arrival, I simply connect to the computer and do my work. I don't need to carry my laptop around. I can scan documents and send through email. It has met my expectations as I wanted a phone that can save as a computer when I am not in the office.

As others have experienced, these appear to have been sourced from various countries and been unlocked. Mine was French, so I had to change language and get rid of some French carrier's apps (one I can't remove). The seal was broken on the box and the box was torn and scuffed, however the phone was still in its (opened) cellophane and was unmarked. The instructions were missing.
I bought primarily to try Windows Phone 10 Preview and it installed fine after a number of critical V8 upgrades, so be aware that you'll have to wait while it does these upgrades. Another reviewer says that the screen is really bright - well it's OK but nothing special. Battery life looks to be good but I wouldn't trust to last more than a day. There is no gyro on this model so some apps may not install - e.g. the Cycloramic camera app. Size and weight slightly more than an iPhone 6+ or Samsung Note, so not a trouser pocket job.

I got this phone Nokia Lumia 1320 to replace the same model I have used for the past 17months, I LOVE THIS PHONE. However, The sound quality for phone calls, on this new one is very poor, in comparison to the original. I bought a new rather than reconditioned, so that I would get like for like. For this reason am VERY, VERY disappointed.

So far has been brilliant. Seems a little bit huge out of the box,but after owning it for a little while it becomes the norm. Big improvement on my old phone.

Its big , but for playing games and videos its ideal compared to my old 3.5 inch Nokia, the phone is a bit slow on starting up to access the internet, you have to wait around 3-4 minutes. It was a bit to big for my jacket pocket, so bought the smaller, cheaper lumia 520 for out and about , and use the 1320 whilst at home.

Let me preface this by saying that I received my Lumia 900 from AT&T two days ago, and what a phone it is! First off, I received the phone for free with an AT&T service plan. That is hard to beat. But even for the price of the new iPhone, which I understand is a couple of hundred dollars, I think this phone is worth it.Software:The connectivity and ease of use are so apparent that within five minutes of turning on the phone, I was on Facebook, chatting with friends, had downloaded all my contacts online, setup my email, and was calling my best friend to test the call quality. I didn't pull anything over from my previous phone, just let Windows Mobile do its thing. It's difficult for me to imagine that other operating systems can compete with the ease and breadth of use this system offers. Every single piece of software seems integrated. One can easily jump from Facebook, to Twitter, to email, to a phone call, etc. In fact, the phone notified me when people so much as "liked" a comment of mine on Facebook, and mind you I wasn't in Facebook when this was happening. That brings me to my second point, the phone is fast. I downloaded ten or so free applications in less than ten minutes. Even via WiFi, I was impressed with the phone's response time, as I was able to download maps for the entire United States on Nokia Drive (~2 GB) in ~15 minutes. Third, with all the complaints I've read about applications, I feel that it's important to touch on this aspect of the experience. Like I was hinting at before, the phone comes loaded with a bunch of applications so that right off the bat, you are texting, calling, pulling up Facebook, etc. On top of that, there are a ton of free applications for many of the sites I use most: Yelp, IMDB, Ebay, Amazon, YouTube, Evernote the list goes on... With Nokia, you also get a ton of free applications including ESPN (which is really awesome if you like sports), USA Today, Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps, Nokia Radio, etc. In fact, I would argue that most of the important apps are there. That said, there are some applications that you won't find including Pandora. Finally, one thing that I always hated about my iPhone was it seemed like I had to sign in for every darn little thing. With this phone, I downloaded everything, including paid applications, without signing in. That's right, I signed into my hotmail account when I first turned on the phone, and after that...nada.Hardware:Simply put, the hardware is stunning! The phone has quickly become one of the proudest items I own. I have the cyan blue version and it catches my attention every time I look at it. It really is something that you have to see to appreciate. Additionally, the single cut, polycarbonate body feels amazing in the hand. Be forewarned that the polycarbonate isn't metal and will scratch if it contacts a rough surface, but the body does achieve a sturdiness that is welcome in a device susceptible to dropping. Moreover, the display while fingerprint prone is stunning. Even with what I understand to be lower graphics than the new iPhone, the brightness, size, and definition are quite impressive. Turning to the camera, while I didn't compare the quality to other phones myself, I have seen some comparisons online that show mixed reviews depending on lighting, focus, etc. This probably isn't the phone to buy if the camera is the most important feature for you, but for the average user it will be more than enough. Separately, the storage space cannot be upgraded, so bear that in mind if you intend on downloading a lot of content. Turning to battery life, I used the phone pretty much non-stop for the first couple of days and it lasted about 7-8 hours - decent given that I was streaming videos as well as surfing the web. I recently spoke with a representative who indicated that an update is imminent and will likely contain power saving features. Given that I've heard some good things about the Lumia 800's update as it relates to extending battery life, I'm hoping the same applies here. Lastly, the phone has excellent call quality. I've long wondered how other phones with poor call quality receive so much praise. Isn't a phone (even a "smart" one) centered around the ability to make calls? Well, for me, call quality is clutch. And Nokia delivers in 1990's fashion, which is to say the call quality lives up to Nokia's past reputation. I found that the sound was crisp, the volume range was impressive, and the signal didn't fade a bit.In short, Nokia and Microsoft have teamed up to create a user experience that really blows me away. At $100 or less with a service plan, it would be hard to compete with the Lumia 900. Good work Nokia & Microsoft and looking forward to future devices!

I'm used to Samsung but this phone is way better its big yes but doesent feel big and its like having a mini pc in yr hand does everything I want and more pics are great also video quality would recommend this phone I lov it and at a great price to ????

I want to start off my review by stating that I am a HUGE Windows Phone fan and already own both the original Samsung Focus and the first HTC Titan (both which are great phones). I felt compelled to upgrade to Nokia's Lumia 900 to experience Nokia's build quality and ATT's LTE speeds.The Lumia 900 is absolutely gorgeous and has a huge screen measuring 4.3 inches. The phone feels great in my hand and can be operated easily with just one hand. My HTC Titan with its 4.7 inch screen was a little difficult to use one handed so I really think Nokia hit the sweet spot at 4.3 inches. I do wish the screen sat flush with the bezel like the Lumia 800 because the 900's screen does protrude slightly which isn't as aesthetically pleasing to me. This is just my opinion and doesn't impact the functionality of the phone one bit. Overall this phone is gorgeous!The Windows Phone OS restricts the screen resolution to 800x480 which by today's standard is a bit low but as with most Windows Phones you will be hard pressed to even realize this during everyday use. The Lumia 900's screen will melt your eyes with its beauty. I don't know what magic technology Nokia uses for this screen but everything looks AWESOME on it. The colors and text jump right off the screen and is very readable even in direct sunlight. I really feel this is the best screen I have ever seen on a smartphone.The Lumia 900 is powered by a 1.4 GHz single core processor with 512 MB of RAM which is more than enough power as the Windows Phone OS runs sooooo smoothly on this phone. Nothing slows this phone down and everything responds instantaneously.You get 16 GB of storage which may not sound like a lot to some folks but I already have a ton of apps, games, music and videos on my phone and still have 8 GB's free. Unfortunately there is no memory card slot so the 16 GB is all this phone will ever have. You do get access to 25 GB of free storage on Microsoft's SkyDrive which is integrated well in to the OS so you can always store your pics and docs in the cloud if you run low on storage.This is the first 4G LTE Windows Phone (the new HTC Titan that came out yesterday is also LTE) and ATT's speed in the Boston area has been superb! I am averaging a little over 10 Mbps in and around Boston with peaks going up as high as 17 Mbps. This phone flies on the internet which makes it feel even faster. I cant get over just how fast the data speeds are on this phone.I have only had the phone for 2 days but the battery seems to be very good. I went through the entire day yesterday using my phone quite a bit without having to recharge. I bet this thing will easily last through an entire work day on LTE. As the week progresses and I get a better idea of the battery life I will update my review.The call quality so far has been fine but I don't make many calls. The people that I have spoke to on this phone stated that I sounded very good.The 8 megapixel camera on the Lumia 900 takes great photos but some of the pics did come out a little oversaturated. They still look really nice though and it could be just where and how I was taking the pics.While the app store is not nearly as large as Apples or Googles it does have over 70,000 apps now and I have found that almost every app I used on my past phones has a counterpart on Windows Phone. You will also find the Windows Phone versions of your favorite apps look, feel and operate better than the ones on iOS and Android. Just wait to you open apps like USA Today or IMDB. They are truly magnificent. If you are a gamer and own an XBOX 360 then you really should be on Windows Phone as XBOX Live is integrated right in the OS and compatible XBOX Live games on Windows Phone include achievements so even on the go you can get those glorious little achievement notifications that some people have become addicted to!If you are first time smartphone buyer or looking for something better than iOS or Android then you cant go wrong with the Lumia 900. For the price what you get is amazing. I highly recommend this phone!UPDATE 04/13/2012: As you may have heard a limited number of the Lumia 900's had a bug that messed up its LTE connection. My unit did not have this issue but there were some out there that do. The good news is that Nokia release a software update last night that fixes this issue completely so you can buy a new Lumia worry free now!Also, remember that if you purchase a Lumia 900 before April 21st on ATT you will receive a 100 dollar credit on your bill!!! So if you are eligible for an upgrade at this time you essentially get the Lumia 900 for FREE if you purchase before April 21st!! This also applies to anyone that has already purchased the phone as well. Awesome!!!

I absolutely love this phone! It fits my needs to a T - although my needs may not be the same as yours. For instance, I'm not a social butterfly and don't do Facebook or Twitter. What I do love about this phone is the amazing camera and video capabilities, music playback/streaming abilities, and Maps with voice guidance.The camera is the true star of this phone and plenty has been written and reviewed about it, so I won't go into this other than to say that even a non-photographer such as myself can take some fantastic pics. Check some of the Flickr groups to see what this phone is capable of. It is truly jaw-dropping. I am dedicated to improving my camera skills thanks to the Pureview. And knowing that you have a world class camera with you AT ALL TIMES is a great feeling.For music- I'm a big fan of internet radio and there are plenty of options with Symbian/Nokia Belle. They have their own very nice Internet Radio app (great home screen widget) available free in the Ovi store. I also found another free and capable app called RadioSymba that is available via SourceForge. But I love and use LCG Jukebox (paid app) from Lonely Cat Games. Get it.Regarding the bugs that much has been written about in these reviews and elsewhere: the rebooting issue manifested after 2-3 weeks of ownership but now has disappeared. I'm not sure if it was something I did to stabilize the phone, but it's rock solid now. In fact, it has the best call quality in my basement (notorious black hole) than any phone I've had. No drops or disconnects.What I did: 1) Reinstalled the OS through Nokia Suite 2) turned APN control off (settings> connectivity> settings> APN Control- long press, it will scan the SIM and then report Access Unrestricted. Hope that helps. FWIW: I have T-Mobile and got a new micro-sim rather than cutting down an old one. Speaking of T-Mobile (and why I love Nokia)-- my first Nokia phone was the 5230 Nuron T-Mobile branded/locked. When T-Mo introduced that phone they offered unlimited high speed data for $10/mo. Why? They didn't consider Nokia/Symbian to be a "smartphone" (thanks iPhone/Android snobbery). I realized that by sticking with Symbian and Nokia's pentaband tuners I have truly unlimited 3.5G data for $10 a month and a flagship device.Nokia Maps are the standard bearer of the industry and work flawlessly, and voice guidance is amazing. I listen to music as I travel (of course) and the music fades for instructions and then resumes. I find that I never even have to look at the map! Nokia City Lens is also a very cool tool and works on the 808 (but there is a trick to it). Google maps also work, plus many other map options and accessory tools free from the Ovi store.Vlingo Virtual Assistant is another cool tool for voice recognition tasks. Speak a text or email, call a friend, search the Web: I've composed texts with this when I don't feel like typing.Wifi works flawlessly at home or out and about. Last week I sat outside in front of a car repair shop for 3 hrs. and streamed internet radio using their wifi.FM Transmitter is here as well and I use this in my wife's car as her in-dash stereo does not have aux inputs.Dukto is an app that lets you send files to or from your PC wirelessly and works great.I feel that with this phone I have every function covered for what one should realistically expect from a smartphone. About the only thing not available is a Netflix app. But, really, do I want to watch movies on a 4 inch screen? No, I don't. In fact I rarely use YouTube on my phone.Bottom line: this phone is for the discriminating connoisseur who doesn't feel the need to be part of the herd.Accessories I use:EMPIRE Nokia 808 PureView Poly Skin Case Cover (Clear "V" Shape) [EMPIRE PackagingNokia 02732Q6 HH-23 PureView 808 Tripod Mount - Retail Packaging - BlackJoby GP1-A1EN GorillaPod Flexible Tripod (Grey and Black)SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQUA-064G-U46A

The Nokia Lumia 900 is one of the most amazing pieces of hardware I've ever had the pleasure of using. The build quality on this has to be felt to be appreciated. It feels solid and smooth in your hand and you can really appreciate the craftsmanship that went into the design. The buttons are well placed, the screen, although a little raised from the actual body, is positioned perfectly for maximum view ability.I haven't been this excited about the industrial design of a cellphone since the original iPhone.The screen is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are rich and vibrant and the Clear Black Display is fantastic, even in bright sunlight. The fact that the glass itself is made of Corning's Gorilla Glass means you can save some cash and skip on getting a screen protector for it.If you've never used the new Windows Phone 7.5 Mango OS, now is the perfect time to take the leap. Having come from years of using iOS and dabbling a little bit in Android, I have to say that Microsoft has done a fantastic job when it comes to the User Experience.WP7.5 is exquisitely simple, yet has deep, robust features for those who need them. The Metro UI is a blast to use with the pivot features, the Hubs and Live Tiles really providing that "glance and go" sensibility that Microsoft has been targeting.The call quality is supberb, and even though we don't have LTE in my community, I do get very fast data speeds with HSPA+.Cons: (every phone has 'em)- Apps: A lot of people are going to complain that WP7.5 doesn't have as many apps as iOS or Android, but the ones that I personally use are there and easy to access. (Facebook and Twitter are INTEGRATED into the OS experience in a superb way which makes sharing photos, videos and status updates FASTER than any other platform.) And XBOX Live integration means that I can rack up gamerscores and play some popular titles right on the handset.- Camera: This to me was the biggest dissapointment and the reason I didn't give the phone 5 stars. Nokia's had a legendary reputation when it comes to their optics, and even though the 8MP camera takes REALLY good pictures, they don't quite compare to iPhone 4S or even Samsung's Galaxy SII. I haven't played with the HTC Titan II to be able to make a comparison, but you can Google some pics to see the difference. Also, video recording is limited to 720p only, but that is a software limitation and from what I understand, Microsoft is working to implement 1080p recording for Windows Phone 8 Apollo. After seeing what Nokia can do with the PureView 808's 41MP camera, I was kinda hoping this phone would have something closer to that. On a PRO side, the front-facing camera is a full 1.3MP so when using Tango to video chat, you'll be transmitting a clearer picture. PRO TIP: Uninstall the native Tango app that the phone comes with and get the proper one from the Marketplace; you'll be able to make video calls over 4G this way!)- Battery life: Now this is a big MAYBE for me, because I do have a lot of apps that have background features activated, so I'm not sure if they're causing excess drain on the phone. You'll find some reviewers that say that battery life is average for a typical smartphone, but I haven't had such luck with it and I also haven't done some controlled experiments with it either. Your mileage may vary.CONCLUSION: The answer to the reason why you're reading this review: "Should I buy this phone?"YES!!!!!! For $99 at an AT&T store, and whatever crazy price Amazon may be offering PLUS the $100 bill credit you get from Nokia if you buy it before April 21st, it is a FANTASTIC piece of hardware!The key thing is to go to your local AT&T store and ask one of the reps to show you HIS/HER phone so you can feel it in your hand and get an appreciation at how awesome the colors look on the screen.PRO TIP: Make sure you download Nokia Drive and Nokia Maps from the Nokia Collection on the Marketplace app because they are awesome! Nokia Drive gives you offline, turn-by-turn, voice-guided directions and works almost everywhere in the world! (You have to download the maps initially, but you can do that over Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE)A few app recommendations for those new to WP7.5:-- Mehdoh: my favorite dedicated Twitter App-- KIK: For cross-platform messaging (save $$$ on the text message bundle!)-- Baconit: The BEST Reddit browser on ANY smartphone.-- Insider: New ringtones and Wallpapers straight from Microsoft!

Have always disliked Microsoft and so was looking forward to receiving their popular phablet with considerable trepidation. The phone arrived in a 'cute little box' which I subsequently ripped open to discover an impressive looking mini (or is it micro?) tablet staring at me with its beautiful black screen. Anyways, I removed the back cover - inserted a spare micro sd card ... retrieved my 'three' SIM card from the now relegated iPhone 5 and slotted it in via an adapter and hey presto the phone booted up nicely.

The 1320 is a slick easy to pocket phablet that will please your pocket and please your wallet. The battery life is nothing short of amazing. It's all I use now. The iphone 5 has been sold and done with. Coming from an iPhone, your new friends will be One note, Evernote, Audio recorder Pro, Google search (for transport- works a treat) and Office.

The screen is lovely giving its specs- it normalises according to the external lighting when you're outside so you can read clearly in bright sunlight unlike the iPhone. This phablet is smart. Audio is really clear and sounds like you're listening with a Dolby like sound quality during phone calls. While it's true that the camera quality is what you'll expect of a 5 mp phone cam, it's mechanism is on another level - you simply tap anywhere on the screen to take quick photos in half the time in takes the iPhone cam to start up. There's this thing with bar codes and language translation right in the same area. You simply take a photo of,say, a German language leaflet and this phone will translate it instantly on the same screen space - very practical and useful in today's world.

I feel this phone is worth it's weight in phablet gold. It's affordable, pocketable, fast, remains on for up to four days,is excellent on the email front, has superior 4G thingamajig and is just very practical business phone.

Super size phone. 6" screen. Exactly what I wanted. Very easy to use. It takes micro sim cards and micro sd cards. Purchased an 32gb micro sd card and once installed it shows 30gb empty space. To place the sim in the phone, you simply peel away the back of the phone from around the sides of the screen. Once off you will see an totally sealed unit. The battery is even sealed inside. All you can access are 2 small slots. The bottom one is for micro sd memory cards, the top one is for the micro sim. When I say top and bottom one, I mean that one is inserted and stacked inside the phone on top of each other. The case is then pushed back on and the phone is ready. The software has data transfer tile. Tap the tile and your new phone will connect to the Bluetooth of your old phone and all contacts etc can be transferred quickly. If you wear trousers with large pockets, this phone will still not fit fully in the pocket. Do not regret buying this phone. I love it!

The photo and video quality capability given by this phone is so awesome! I love taking pictures whether they be of family, events, landscapes, vacations or just about anytime I want to preserve a memory for myself or anyone else. I can't tell you how much I appreciate having that ability come from my phone! Now I have a DSLR camera that I use for "planned" events usually based around my kids; recitals, sports, etc. For these types of events I have my camera bag with me and I can swap out my lenses, I am after the best possible photos I can take. Well sometimes your at a restaurant, at work, at a party or any other of a million places that you could be at any moment and you want to take a picture. Sure most cameraphones can capture the moment, but sometimes its just not capable of a decent picture in certain situations. You become aware of these situations after you try and take a photo and it doesn't come out. So now you decide to carry a point and shoot camera, or if you are a true geek you take the dslr, when you know that your phone isn't going to be good enough. Your friends will probably ask you, "Are you happy to see me or is that a DSLR in your pants?".In steps the Nokia 808. The powerful xenon flash makes sure your photos subjects are lit up if you need them to be. You can also manually adjust settings to allow more light in the photo by increasing the exposure length, meaning flash might not even be needed. If you have been researching this phone then you already know the technology used in the camera on this phone is possibly going to change the way future high end cameraphones, and probably cameras in general, are designed.Ok so the Symbian operating system is not as cool as the other mobile os that are out there. You won't get the cool games that are coming out. You wont have Instagram integrated to share all the pictures of your cats with friends.But here are some things I have come to appreciate from this phone and past symbian based phones:1. FM Radio, sometimes I don't want to mess with freakin playlists or downloading music or chewing up data or all that other crap involved with listening to music. Just plug in my headphones and turn on the radio!2. FM Transmitter, contradicting what I said in point 1, sometimes I get tired of hearing the radio in the vehicles that I drive at work. It's nice to load up Spotify and be able to play it over the vehicles radio. This also works for the sound from any videos you are watching.3. The intergrated email has worked fine for both my personal email and work email account.4. Situations app, I love this app. I can program it to change how my phone acts at certain times of the day. For instance it automatically switches my phone to silent at the set time I am usually going to bed. It changes my ringtones during the time I am at work, and changes them back when I'm punched out.5. Standby screen, silly but I like being able to look at my phone and seeing the time. The standby screen shows the time, simple. I don't need to have any other clock on my nightstand because of my phone.6. Nokia Maps, they just work. I have used the navigation features of these phones many times to find things around town, also for an 2000+ mile trip.I would recommend this phone to certain people because I know its not for everybody. If you are the type that takes pics with your phone and the pics stay on the phone, this phone is probably not for you. If your like me and want to take a nice picture of the gingerbread house your kids made by just pulling out your phone and then having the option to display the photo on a screensaver or digital photoframe or even print it, this one is for you.

I've had this phone a couple days now and I really love it. I've been using the iPhone 4 for the last nine months after abandoning Nokia's last attempts, the E7 and E6. Now Nokia returns with double the processor and double the Ram, and a camera that bests every other phone out there. I went in with low expectations and have been very pleasantly surprised. So here are all the features as they value to me:The Screen: I was weary about this because the iPhone has an extremely high pixel density, so I had concerns that the low resolution of this phone would make my eyes sore. Well, first of all the AMOLED screen is brilliant. The brightest I've ever seen and the colors really pop. Visibility in direct sunlight is completely unhindered. When navigating the homescreens I don't notice the low pixel count at all. Only when opening web pages is it noticeable, but only when viewing pages in full screen. Double tap the part youy want to read and it's fine. So that was my first concern laid to rest.The build: Not as chunky or ugly as media reports led me to believe. I actually really like the design and while the phone is indeed heavy, it's not at all too big. I have the white and black model, and got a compliment that it looks like "sci-fi".Email: I was concerned that email would be shoddy. Happy to report that push email is working fine and on the large 4 inch screen messages are easy to read and displayed correctly in HTMKL.Web Browser: Another concern was the stock browser. It's still slow. I've had problems in the past with Opera but those problems seem to have been fixed. Opera Mobile (not mini) renders pages correctly and fast. Again, the big screen is helpful here.Youtube: I do my fair share of Youtube watching but remembered how poor the stock app was on my E7. Was surprised to find out that Gravity plays Youtube videos, not only in a better UI but the videos actually play in very high quality (not sure if HD but it sure looks close).Widgets: Love allt he widgets, which I've had almost zero problems with. Email, Facebook, Twitter, news, location services - all have worked without crashing and update regularly. I remember widgets on the E7 constantly crashing and not updating. Glad to say that's no longer an issue.Audio/Music: I'm surprised I don't hear more people talk about the amazing quality of audio on Nokia devices. It far surpasses my iPhone, not only wired, but especially via bluetooth headphones. Now the 808 comes with Dolby Surround and it's even better. The music widget is very useful as well, and I was, again, surprised to see that this phone came with Nokia music installed. WHile currently the US isn't supported it only took a second to tell the app that I'm in the UK and get access to music on the go. Being an iTunes devotee I can comfortably move on knowing I can download music when I want.The camera: This is an awesome camera, and I don't have to tell you that. What I really like about it are the Xenon flash which is great for night time photos, the lossless zoom, and Rich recording. Combine those three things with the high quality camera and you've got pictures and video that no other phone can duplicate.Maps: This is just the icing on the cake. So great to have voice guided navigation. Points of interest are lacking however.The keyboard: My one strike against this phone. This is pretty bad, but luckily a new keyboard is coming in the next update.This is an awesome device. Hopefully the price drops soon enough for more people to get onboard. It really does everything it should so there's nothing I can think of that I miss from Android/iOS (well maybe video calling)... It's worth knowing that I am typically hard on Nokia. One thing I've never done is defended their poor decisions of the past. The reason I like this phone so much is they've finally listened to a lot of complaints of the past and acted on them. My main appreciation for this device is that for the first time in a long time Nokia delivers on their promises and made a phone that works in all aspects(even if some of it is due to third parties like Gravity and Opera).

The Nokia Lumia 1320 is the one my company uses through the uk and it was after using it that I decided to get one for my self

I'm a bit of a phone geek. I admit it, I accept it. It's who I am. So the lumia 1320 is an anomaly. On paper and on screen she is a compromise bridesmaid. How can you get by with 5mp photos? Fewer than 250 ppi? Only dual core?
I bought this phone based upon the fact that I'd experimented with a Lumia 620 previously. I liked the ecosystem, and the lack of lag. Androd is great on paper, but as android spec demands increase, so phones slow down. I wanted a big screen, so I went for the 1320. It's amazing. The screen is 720p I believe. 240ppi is fine. You won't notice pixilation unless you take out the magnifying glass. The camera is 5MP, which is ok unless you want to blow up to A3 size or above. Big secret....video is 1080p at 30 fps, so great, smooth vids. This is a surprisingly underrated phone. It's Friday night and I last unplugged it Thursday at 6am, so battery is good, I have 15% left, and it's the battery's 2nd cycle so it will improve further. Great phone. Buy it!

I don't want to rave about the camera, as it takes great pictures and has been sufficiently ratified by others. I have used this phone for over a month now.Here are some details that might make a difference to your purchase decision, in case you are tempted and wondering -Navigation and UI -- Sensitivity and response in comparable to iphone 4, though for some apps you can see the hourglass for few seconds at launch.- Love the inbuilt gadgets and apps like Photo Wall, Social and offline maps. Nokia Street View can be installed (google for it).- This display resolution was not meant for more than 3.5 inch screens, text does appear to be mildly grainy in this 4 inch screen.- Please update font to "Nokia Pure Font" using Font Zoomer app, as it makes the whole experience better.App store -Has been more than adequate for me, has most of the top apps and tools. I like the fact that you can theme out of the box.If you are in India most apps are very cheap as they sell at prices at 1/10 of a $. Nokia store allows you to add app purchases to your phone bill.Kindle - Unfortunately Kindle does not have an app for Symbian. Other e-readers are available like Ionic which is pretty good.Has MS Office pre-installed!!.Music Store -In India, Nokia gives you 1 year of unlimited music downloads. That itself will pay for the cost of the phone by the time I am done in the next 10 months.Camera -In spite of this phone producing some fantastic entry SLR quality pictures, there are some items to take note of -- It does not have optical image stabilization.- When taking indoor picture with flash in default mode, there is a light white haze on the picture. Though it looks great on the phone, when you view it on the PC it does not look impressive. A quick auto-correct is needed using Picasa (or manually turn off flash for every use).- Red eye has been a regular problem when taking pictures indoors.- Please upgrade to SP2 firmware to get the best out of the camera and gallery.- Photo Editing options are inbuilt and very good.Hardware and Features -- The guys at AllAboutSymbian feel this is the best Nokia smart phone to date as it leaves nothing behind in hardware and software features.- I have not missed my iphone 4 anytime in this department.- It has full multi tasking, but memory could have been more as gallery zoom refresh clarity is affected when multiple apps are open.Handling -It feels bulky and top heavy with a basic case, which you would surely need to protect the lens. This will be bothering if you like light weight phones and don't use heavy full protection cases.Would I buy this phone again? -The surprising answer is no, though I love what it offers me as of today. With all vendors going the megapixel way, the detailed photos this phone produces should be possible in the next generation Windows Phones, iphones or Galaxies in 2013-14. The additional bulk and lack of growth for this products operating system should keep you away. If you are someone who buys a new phone every 2 years anyway, go for it by all means. I bought it because I have young kids, and I felt important moments were being missed; I feel justified with some of the good stuff we have captured already in that regard, since the shutter response of the camera is instant and amazing.

Phone arrived ahead of time. The phone is absolutely amazing. I also own a Nokia Lumia 820 as well and updated both to Lumia Denim, otherwise Windows Phone 8.1 update and as a result this phone works even better than it did before. The screen size is incredible. I was recently playing GT Racing 2 on my phone as opposed to my android tablet and I have to say the phone is a lot easier to hold than a 7 inch tablet. Also its a lot faster and the graphics and gameplay are smoother. Everything about this phone is amazing to the extent my wife has bought one for herself.

always faulty, replaced it twice with the same phone only to read up they a faulty phones that have the same problem on them all
