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

Love the phone, however had to return after 7months due to it not working properly. Gradually screen stopped working, shame ????

And this is not meant to be a criticism of Iphone. Lumia 900 is that good. Having been an IPhone fanatic for the past 2.5 years, I am finally out of its magic spell. Hallelujah.This phone is devoid of the million apps you never use but hope to use one day. It has only the precious cores that you use over and over at FASTEST ACCESS points. Talking of speed, comparing this phone's 4G LTE with Iphone's 3G is like comparing an F16 to an F4 Phantom. Until Iphone comes up with 4G LTE capability, they really cannot be compared in terms of speed. ("Iphone 4" or "Iphone 4S" may be deceptive since it is only a 3G phone, all the more confusing since its previous versions, 3G and 3GS, were named after network standards.) This phone makes web surfing eminently enjoyable. Video streaming speed is phenomenal -- no buffering issue whatsoever! I watched the baseball and news clips without a pause while walking on the street, which is something that does not happen always even with my slow home wifi! These were unthinkable feats with my previous Iphone 4S.Plus I can painlessly transfer all my Windows office files and view them while commuting. I have a long commute, which makes me comment on this phone's amazing battery capacity. It just goes on and on. You can actually leave home without taking a charger to your office, use it full day (including browsing and streaming) without worrying about the juice running out. How comforting and refreshing. Plus, needless to say, there is no need for encoding all your movies to be compatible with Apple regime. And this phone is a beauty to behold -- design-wise, I even think it fits Steve's vision better than the current Iphone. Last but most importantly, this phone's voice quality is stunning (ie no hauling, no echoing, but just crystal clear voice) -- unfortunately the same could not be said of my Iphone 4S.To be sure, I miss a few nice games and apps that were on my Iphone. (Yes, Steve was a genius.) But I have my Ipad and Ipod for those. I do not need to carry them all on my phone at the same time and it's not like saying good-bye to the Apple ecosystem with all my purchased contents. To my surprise, I found parting with my Iphone was no heart-breaking event. The priorities simply could not be ignored: best possible phone first, fastest possible browser second and other nice things third. It just took a bit of courage to try something new and I am so glad I did just that. Buying a phone is not like marrying someone.All in all, I am one happy consumer with a big smile on my face every time I use my phone. Every morning I wake up and open my eyes, I reach for my phone next to my pillow. Lumia 900 finally nailed everything I wanted in a phone. I have not been this passionate about a product since... well my first Iphone, Iphone 3GS. Buy this and you will not regret, at this price or at any other offered by the competition.(UPDATE) I just read on the news that because of some software glitch (which I am not even aware of by the way), I am offered a $100 AUTOMATIC reduction on my phone bill (with no need to send coupons etc) with either free exchange or free fix. Unbelievable. When was the last time I received this level of customer care from ANY company? Not even Apple -- I only remember Steve's offering a free lesson on how to hold an Iphone correctly when customers complained of its antenna problem. Now, this is a preemptive customer care at its best, full of good will. Thank you, Nokia, and I hope all other phone companies follow your practice.(UPDATE2) I just downloaded and installed the software update offered by Nokia. I have not noticed any difference since I had not found any symptom in the first place but I did it anyway and will take the $100 credit. Nokia did this a few days sooner than the date it promised to do by (April 16). I think it set the bar a notch higher for all other companies, especially Apple with its cash to spare, in times when customers are in sore need of bargains and discounts. When Apple launches its Iphone 5, it is bound to have some glitches and I would be truly interested in seeing how Apple handles the situation. For now, Nokia has won my heart.

Brilliant phone. Well worth the the cost. Good battery life and excellent screen size which took a few days to get used to.
One point worth noting is make sure the phone is updated to Windows phone 8.1 before using. It may take a couple of hours but it's worth the wait.
Downside is the Nokia headphones that come with it. They are rubbish. Apart from that the phone is a gem.

I bought first phone from Amazon (Ross Cellular) but it was a big disappointment :( I am not even sure if the phone was new, used, or a refurbished. The second one from ebay turned out to be stolen. The third one "technically" works but windows operating system is a big headache :( I should have taken 2 previous failed attempts as a sign and give up on this phone, but noooooo ... I had to get it only to realize that windows operating system is a big failure.Now the phone review :I have been using nokia since the invention of cell phones. I was a big nokia fan until I got the Lumia 900 with Windows OS :( The phone has mediocre specs (1.4GHz single core processor with 512MB RAM, short battery life, etc) but for this much money you can get a phone with better specs (i.e. nexus 4) and it operates flawlessly!!!!what is good about it? Probably the looks but that is pretty much it ...What is bad about it? 1- Windows operating system and Bing are the most pathetic operating system and the search engine I have ever used!!! Initially I was happy to get this phone now every time I use it I am disgusted by the stupidity of Bing!!!! Internet explorer on the phone works, so obviously the phone is receiving the data, but the phone does not even connect to Bing and anything related with Bing!!!! It does not connect to Maps!!! It dost not connect to Zune!!! It does not connect to application depot!!! It is a pretty paperweight at this point. I did some search and found that this was a common problem with windows phones. I am so angry!!!! Nothing works on this p.o.s!!! Updates dont fix anything!!! Nokia should have stayed with their simple yet versatile symbian OS and give microsoft the "bird"!!!! 2- bad battery life!!! with no apps running the battery barely lasts 1 day :( Did I get a defective phone or everyone else experiencing the same issue? 3- in order to by-pass failed bing garbage I try to install google maps or other applications that used to work on Symbian OS but I cant!!! I tried to install google chrome but I cant!!!! None of those apps work on windows phone!!! 4- you can not replace the battery! Nokia Engineers!!! what were you thinking??? if you are not going to put a big enough battery, then make it easily replaceable at least. 5- I hate micro usb ports!!! I have big monkey hands and I am afraid I will break the charger inside the port while trying to connect it :( 6- no micro sd card slot? Sure it has a lot of space, but it would not hurt to have more memory ...If the phone worked flawlessly out of the box I would give 3-4 stars just because there are other phones out there a little more or less expensive with much better specs. However, due to windows p.o.s operating system this "not-so-smart" phone works simply as a $10 "phone" you get from walmart.If you want a good phone, get the nexus 4 from google. It has a quad core processor (4 times faster), 2GB RAM (4 times more memory), better screen resolution, bigger battery (twice more talk time) etc. It is better every way!!! and costs only $350 plus tax and shipping ... Oh! It is also factory unlocked! ATT cant remotely lock your phone again and again ... I wish I could return this phone :( It was a big disappointment ... I am so upset about windows operating system and nokia. I will not buy nokia ever again. I am so angry I am even thinking about getting rid of all the windows computers at home too :(

For starters, I've been with Windows Phone since shortly after its release; it was a natural progression from the oft-mocked but secretly delightful Zune platform (RIP). It has been a journey not without its bumps. Windows Phone has had to claw its way into the smartphone market, and its continued existence is due purely to Microsoft's doggedness. It's not as if WP has nothing new to offer. It's a simple market fact that people tend to be happy with only two to three options in any category, especially in the technology marketplace. Witness the longtime twosome of Windows vs. Mac operating systems, with Linux running a distant third. There are plenty of other examples.Windows Phone has finally wrestled its way into the scuffle, though, and it's a very good thing. It offers an extremely stable operating environment, surprisingly good performance even on mid-grade hardware which would choke an Android phone, integration into the fuller Microsoft user experience, such as Xbox Live, Office, and Zune Pass ($10 a month for unlimited streaming and downloading music, cheap enough to never feel the urge to pirate), and a user interface that is just fun and beautiful, and oh-so refreshing when compared to Apple and Android UIs.And now, This great phone OS (operating system) finally (it cannot be stressed enough, FINALLY!) has a great piece of hardware to run on, something which expresses the same aesthetic and value system that the OS does. The phone is, first off, a terrific piece of engineering, a beautiful, industrial block with rounded sides which make it a joy to hold and use, with a stunning OLED screen which is easy to see even in bright daylight. Every aspect of the hardware is as good as you'd expect classic Nokia to put out. The phone's slimness and light weight, combined with the grippy matte finish, makes it as effortless in the physical space as the WP platform makes controlling and navigating the phone.I mentioned the bumpy road to WP excellence; primarily it has been the lack of very good hardware. Previously I've been using an LG Quantum, a well-made phone but one which understood nothing, so to speak, of the Windows Phone way. None of the 1st-generation phones on offer for WP met its needs for a champion, and so far I believe Nokia is the only one to understand the OS, which is fine considering Nokia has pledged its whole cause to Microsoft. Together, they're performing an almost phoenix-like rise from the ashes, though it remains to be seen how far upwards they will be able to go. At this point in time, however, they have the perfect phone and OS for me.There are some rocks remaining in the road: apps still haven't met the availability of Android and iPhone. This is mostly the fault of app developers, but it is actually a complex issue. Accelerating the development of WP apps takes Microsoft's evangelizing, user adoption, market acceptance, and plain old time. That is why people looking for Draw Something won't be able to find it (yet) on WP, and if your life revolves around installing cutting-edge, popular apps as soon as they've entered the public consciousness, you might be disappointed, for awhile. But WP doesn't get enough credit for what it does have, the aforementioned Microsoft product integration, which will only improve with the release of Windows 8, which takes numerous design principles straight from Windows Phone, and wants to augment the phone experience in some interesting ways.In summation, I'd consider this to be the emergence of the first Windows Phone champion, the "iPhone" of Windows Phones. In fact, Nokia may well become the only WP manufacturer that really takes the limelight, and that's perfectly okay with me, while other companies will still offer another take on the WP for those who don't find Nokia's offerings to suit their needs. Essentially, we might see WP embrace the best of both iPhone and Android, with the seamless user experience of the former combined with the choice of the latter. Such can only be a good thing, and positions them to be a worthy "third" in a battle that has, until now, been a two-player game.

Fantastic phone. A little too large for me personally to use as a phone, but I manage but fantastic for internet and work.

Absolutely brilliant phone. Have used Lumia Phones for the past 2 years.would recommend to upgrade. Even if you have software probs.', windows pc.s will resolve any probs.and you can upgrade to win 10 developer and revert back with win recovery tool. Would recommended to anyone

The following review is from my husband(I bought it as a big present for him)After owning Nokia 808 for over 30 days I could say that I am willing to keep it for another couple years. By the way, I have Iphone 4S and other android devices too. If you still on the edge of thinking about whether or not to use this phone as your primary phone. Just ask yourself the simple question "Have you ever felt lost to the moments when you saw something that is totally worthwhile and you just happen to forgot to bring your camera?" The results of the pictures just simply unbeatable. You can check the pictures on flickr, they are all over the place these days.Now I can sell my point and shoot canon ELPH 100. Oh forgot this "phone" also works as a Garmin GPS. Now I can sell my Garmin nuvi 3790. By the way, this "phone" also works as a FM transmitter. So I am selling my Iphone 4S Belkin FM transmitter too. The music quality of this "Phone" (Dolby Digital Plus), no kidding I sold my Zune HD already. The Dolby function on music difference is night and day (makes my klipsch x10 and Monster Turbine came to life). So the phone weight 169 g and I just throw away stuffs that weight about 1000 g in total from my back pack.Exchange mailbox, gmail, hotmail, and other mailbox work flawlessly. I make gmail my exchange mailbox so the gmail calendar sync automatically without any further setting. Got it connect to my home network which is an Asus RT-N10 flash with ddwrt, never drop once. Connect to enterprise network without any problem too.I am an honest hard working guy who doesn't like to spend my precious free time on mobile gaming. So not many games on this "Phone", not even a problem for me. Moreover, I can always find the utility software that I need. Quick office and Microsoft office mobile are pre-installed, so I am able to open all kinds of office documents all the way from word file to PDF and anything in between. Even office Onenote is pre installed.I have seen other reviews written by other wonderful reviewers. So in order to make myself a little bit more contributing to this awesome "phone". Let me get a little bit deeper into the connectivity function of this device. Yes, we know it have HDMI and DLNA and they worked perfectly. I did other experiments such as connect it to xbox usb and tend to play the pictures ,video, and music directly from xbox. Guess what? it works perfectly too. Just switch the usb connection on the phone to "Mass storage mode" or "Media transfer". I can now view my pictures and watch videos directly on my projector/HDTV which xbox connected to.About the stability of the phone and system. It did crash three time on first couple days, I was very nervous at that time. The reason about the crash, I would say because third party apps. Most of the third party software are full of bugs and keep running in background even you intend to close the program. I uninstalled these third party apps, even the anti virus apps that came with the phone. Currently, I only trust the apps from Nokia recommendation and some apps that have really reliable reviews. I have not encounter another crash ever since.Did I mention it is unlock "Phone" as a real phone should be, so AT&T, Tmobile, and XXOO telecom I don't care, all of them work. I do frequent international travel and that solves my problem. Overall, I would say this "phone" is a phone with an unique style, buy it if you are the kind of person who really knows what you want (ex. want great pictures which can last forever).

Didn't check the dimensions, I practically needs 2 hands to use it as it's soo big! Not the best purchase. The amount of data also is very limited.

Listen, I am reading some of these reviews on different online sites and I can't believe how ignorant some people want to sound. Statements like this phone sucks with absolutely no explaination is just plain anti-Nokia/Windows Mobile bashers venting with a smile.If these people had actually used the phone and were able to give you a true review of the device it would likely be a 4 out of 5 STARS or better in my opinion.I mean lets see, I have had the phones for almost 1 week and there is obviously a learning curve for me as you will see below because I had no prior Win Mobile IOS experience.The learning curve was not that tedious and I can tell you that on day 1, I was fidling around a little longer than I wanted to trying to text or make calls from my phone list but once I got all my contacts transfered and placed as I wanted, and got used to the voice commands, I am one happy camper.Got my 2009 Chevrolet Silverado pickup all set up with bluetooth and mount accessories as well as the 3.5mm male to male plugged into my stereo and within a week I am now wondering how I got by without all these luxuries...lol.SOME REVIEW POINTS:Phone is FAST....NO LAG...ie...FAAAAAAAAAAAST. (FACT!)Phone is great size and weight. (Personal Opinion)Phone Screen is vivid and sharp. The touch while typing is very responsive. The keyboard and texting ability is better than any phone I have ever used. (Personal Opinion)Phone is user friendly. (Personal Opinion)Win. Mobile 7.5 OS is great. (Personal Opinion)Batt. life is OK and could be better (Use Batt Saver Setting). (Personal Opinion)No Flash Video support for Win Mobile 7.5. sucks. I mean come on what is the deal it's Windows....hello. Definitely not a deal breaker for me just a little inconvenient as most sites I use it on have apps that work for the phone just like Apple iPhone has to have and hopefully Win Mobile 8 will have the support. (Personal Opinion)Zune Music Pass for $99.00 a year and my in car stereo linked is...can I say it...yes....a Pandora killer!!! Zune Music Pass is amazing and I am loving it. (Personal Opinion)XBox Live for gaming....GREAT...nuff said! (FACT!)Nokia Apps including Nokia Drive means bye bye Garmin. This app is sooo great and it is FREE!!! Used it all last weekend in Detroit Suburbs and it worked flawlessly. (Personal Opinion)I have used a few smartphones/tablets, Samsung Epic (android) and the Apple 3gs (IOS) and Motorola Xoom wifi (android) and they had some good features and some I absolutely hated. I do not like clutter or searching redundantly for apps/options and the Nokia Lumia 900 just absolutely WORKS for me! I love the voice command controls and how freaking amazing the voice recognition software works.This is my first smartphone with Windows Mobile OS and I can say I am a fan of it now and am eagerly anticipating the release of 8 and hope it is slated for release via update to the Nokia Lumia 900.I have the black one and my wife has the white one and they look awesome....kind of wish I had got the white one also it looks sweet.Oh and BTW, thank-you to NOKIA for stepping up to the plate with the data issue that was quickly addressed and updated via software fix. I mean, I never saw the problem because there is no LTE available where I live yet (coming in 2013 ;-))and I bought the phones after all the issues were resolved and still get the $100.00 credit on EACH phone as well as having got the $100.00 in accessories for each phone from AT&T. All that and $99.00 for each phone.So take it as you see it but this is my 2 cents and I say the phone rocks and I am a fan.EDIT: Forgot to mention the cameras. All good, I use canon cameras home and work and I can tell you that if you want a Really Great picture from this camera all you have to do is make some setting adjustments for ISO and light but I have found that the camera works very well in auto settings just able to take better photos with ISO and light adjustments. Camera is GREAT!

If you don't want to carry your phone and your tablet then this is your answer. Windows * takes a little getting used to and its a bit weird holding this to your ear due to its size but using headphones its great. Really happy with it. Holds its charge well too.

excellent value for money, very happy with the phone, simply had to change from French to English and update to windows 8.1, all done within 1 hour. would deal with this company again.

First off, this is the first smartphone I have ever owned so I can't compare my experience with other phone OS's.Quick Bullets:Negatives/Improvement Needed - Hardware:- Phone rattles around the camera lens when vibrating, slight annoyance but not too big of a deal.- Metal on back of camera scratches very easily- Feels like if it were less thick by 1mm it would be a lot sleekerNegatives/Improvement Needed - OS:- Can't check/receive Facebook messages if you're chat status is set to Offline (must go in to the facebook app)- Games can lag a bit when advertisements load (probably more of an app issue than phone issue)- Wish there was a native PDF reader as Adobe's app is not smooth/fast- Doesn't have every app under the sun but its getting better and fast- When searching Bing images, I really want to be able to swipe to the next image but you have to go back and tap the next one- Must use Zune software for media management, I wish my computer would just see the phone as a storage device.Positives Hardware:- Large and vibrant screen, I have no issues with the resolution at all.- Dedicated camera button that can be used even when the phone is locked- Solid camera, wont blow you away but gets the job done. Get to know the different camera settings and you will get very good results- Solidly built [...]- Proximity sensor: the phone auto shuts off the screen when the phone is near your ear.Positives OS:- Social network integration with everything--- MESSAGING HUB: set facebook chat status. CALENDAR HUB: see facebook events (birthdays included) and every detail about those events (details, wall, guests attending). PEOPLE HUB: consolidates facebook, twitter, linkedIn, and windows live for every contact automatically. PICTURE HUB: Access pictures across social networks side by side with pictures you have saved on your phone.- Live Tiles--- PEOPLE: You can assign people to different groups and pin that group to as a live tile. Just a quick glance at the screen and I know if there is any new news with my friends accross ALL social networks. CALENDAR: Displays next meeting/appointment. NEWS/WEATHER: I decided what apps I use almost solely on how good the live tile is at displaying information I want.- Skydrive Integration: Auto-save pictures and documents to the cloud for backup.- Smooth OS, rarely lags, very intuitive.- The phone is so people-centric that I don't even need to use the Phone Hub which brings up previous calls, dial-pad, etc. I just have the people I call most pinned to the start screen.- Silent updates: I have been following Windows Phone news closely since my purchase and updates are made to the OS without user intervention.- Local searches: Here is something I can compare with other phone OS's. Want to find information about a business? Windows phone is very efficient at it, just hit search and enter the business name. Bing will search based on your location and give you an address, phone, directions, and reviews in about 3-4 taps. None of my friends iPhones/Androids can do that.Conclusion:I have had the phone for about a month and I don't think any other phone could make me happier. The pros blow the cons out of the water for me and I can't wait to see what is in store when Windows Phone 8 comes out. The Nokia has the best design of any of the Windows Phones and feels the most durable. The OS is smooth and you DON'T need an app for everything which is very nice.At this point in the OS game for both mobile and desktops, it seems to be all about preference. Nothing is superior to anything else, its just what you want. If you want to tweak every little thing with your phone, get Android. If you want every app that exists and to use an app for everything, get an iPhone. If you want an efficient OS with social integration, get a Windows Phone.

I wanted to like it, I really did. I just purchased a new Win8 computer and figured I would upgrade my phone to the Lumia 920 in the spirit of homogeneity. Let me tell you that doing so was a HORRIBLE idea - where to start.Weight - this brick, I mean phone, tips the scales at a cool 185 grams, compared to the 133 gram Galaxy S3 or 140 gram iPhone 4S. When asked why it weighed so much, the salesman told me it was because the phone is made from the same composite as is astronaut helmets. Nice - I can now sleep better knowing that if the Mayans are right, at least my Lumia 920 is prepared for its journey through the cosmos.To all my skinny jean wearing hipsters, you and this phone simply cannot be - the sheer size and mass of it make it a nightmare to carry in regular sized pants, I can't even imagine the kind of dances you'll do to get the Lumia in and out of your jeggings pockets. This brick could be a safety hazard if one of these crazy youths tries to rob me on his way to Hot Topic, though my Lumia could possibly double as a shield, or even a weapon if I decided to shotput at my assailant.Onto the UI - wow, anyone who says the apps are incredible must be kidding. Moving past the fact that google refuses to create apps for the Win8 OS, none of the apps that are built for this phone are designed by their actual developers. Facebook is a Microsoft app, Whatsapp doesn't even exist, the Pandora app is a blog about the music on Pandora - sweet, nothing satiates my hunger for The Jonas Brothers or Biggie Smalls like the words of Joe and Jane Smith as they opine on hottest 1950's Christmas album. What few games they do have, i.e. angry birds, looks like they have been shrunk down from a tv screen onto my phone. The aspect ratio is atrocious, not to mention that for me to download anything, I have to use my Hotmail account that I opened and retired when I was in fifth grade - which may be a real selling point for the hipsters as eclectic/old school schwag is all the rage these days.As per the screen size ... the phone may be huge but a good portion of it is cannibalized by the bezel , again probably some brilliant innovation necessary to make the phone more functional as I use it to fend off attacks but not when I want to compose documents in MS office, which is a function I will NEVER use on my phone.But our friends at Nokia were smart enough to include a wireless charger, this was a HUGE plus, I find that plugging my phone into the wall while I sleep at night is cumbersome AND tedious. Corded phones chargers are so 2010 - what are we still using the rotary phones here? Think of all the extra things I can do now that I don't have to plug my brick into the wall! At about 6 hours of battery life, I know that whatever charging device I get is going to get plenty of love.So that's it, this phone is horrible. Anyone who says otherwise is either crazy, or is finally making the upgrade from their Razor flip phone. Keep up the good work Nokia, you've successfully kept old school by giving us those old school features we expected in 2005.

Excellent phone. Great value for money. Superb and clear large screen. 8GB storage is fine with 16GB SD card.

This phone is great! It's the best phone I've ever owned. I have been a dedicated high end Android user, but I found this phone to be a much more satisfying experience than either the iPhone or the Android phones. I want an OS that will meet my current needs and have a great user interface with a good amount of apps available for me to manage my daily mobile cell phone use, and not have to make expensive phone upgrades all the time. The Nokia Lumia 900 is a very well constructed phone.The aesthetics are pleasing, it's modern and function goes well beyond my expectations. It operates very fast and smooth even though it has a single core processor and only 512MB on RAM. If you are not aware of these specs, you might think it has a multi-core processor and more RAM on board. Nokia has come up with a phone that is both pleasing in design and very efficient when it comes to performance. The screen is bright with beautiful color saturated screen, and seems to have less glare outside when it's sunny. I can actually read the screen in such conditions. This is a big plus for me! It has 16GB of ROM, which is plenty by itself, but pared with the 7GB of frees cloud storage, it's more than enough for me. I really don't know what the fuss is about concerning the number of apps available for Windows Phones. Unless you are some kind of developer or techy person, there are plenty of apps available for this phone (both from MS, Nokia and third party) for the everyday cell phone user, even business user. The game apps seems so much more refined (probably because there are a lot of Xbox games available for this phone) and they run beautifully on this phone. I travel a lot and I'm really looking forward to using this phone on my trips. I have always liked Nokia phones because of the quality build and support. When I started using a smartphone I got away from Nokia phones and started my Android experience. Now that Nokia has chosen to team up with MS to re-enter the smartphone market, I wanted to try their phones again. What a lovely surprise! I'm crazy for the Lumia 900 and look forward to future offerings from Nokia, if and when I get tired of this phone or need to upgrade. I recommend this phone, it's quality at affordable prices. Great design, sturdy, fast and very easy to use, especially if you run Windows 8 on your computer. Try it! You won't be sorry. By it from Amazon, the best place to shop and that's coming from a person that doesn't or ever has worked for them. I forgot to tell you that there is an upgrade of the operating system to 7.8, which is very similar to Windows 8, available for this phone. It's very easy to install, just install Zune on your Windows computer, connect your phone to USB, and it will find the upgrade and instruct you how to install.

Pros:
This phone is the best if your looking for a phablet, it is fast and fluid with the Windows Phone 8 OS. Depending on the use the battery will last longer than an iPhone 5s. You may have issues with it like fitting it in your pocket. The start, back and search button does not light up which isn't an issue unless your using in the dark because it takes a couple of taps to find where the buttons are. The phone is a bit weighty but it feels strong and rugged. The touchscreen is sensitive and the gorilla glass that is on it does feel thick and strong. At first the battery only lasted a day but after 3 or 4 charges I got it lasting up to 48hrs with the same amount of usage on the old iPhone which I had to charge 2 times a day. Since it only has 8GB of memory I do recommend a Micro SD card. Setting up the phone was easy it took me less then 5 mins. The speaker is on the back and is quite loud and a calling conversation is crystal clear. You can just about hold the phone with one hand but when using its difficult to use just one hand and will need to use 2 hands. The 1520 may have 1080p but on the 1320 720p isn't that bad with the price. The camera is basic but would expect that with the price.

I bought my 1st Nokia Lumia 900 in mid-April from Amazon Wireless soon after it came out. I've read the specs, knew what I'll be getting (good and bad) and was excited about the phone. It worked fine for about a month before problems showed up.I took a trip to Canada and turned ON airplane mode - 1st time doing this. After landing, I turned OFF airplane mode and that's where the problem started. Supposedly, there's a bug where if you did this, your battery will drain much faster because all the apps have been turned ON - doesn't matter if you actually used them or not. So, battery drained down to zero in a few hours. Of course, I thought that's odd but I'll just re-charge it. This is where the defect surfaced - it won't charge. It continuously cycles through the Nokia logo screen, then the ATT "Rethink Possible" screen, then a low battery graphic screen and shuts off - only to restart the cycle. It never charges and just cycles through this series of screens when it's plugged in to charge. Soft boot, hard boot, special camera boot (per Nokia's suggestion) - nothing worked.Check it up on the Internet - other folks have had the same problem - you might want to see if you have a defective phone by letting it drain all the way to zero and try charging it. If it charges, good for you. If not, you'll see what I'm talking about.Anyway... by then, Amazon's guarantee doesn't apply anymore. After 2 weeks of trying to fix a non-working phone, I was asked by Nokia to return the phone to them. When the phone reached their repair center, they immediately send out a replacement - NOT a new phone, but someone's refurbished phone that they probably fixed up. I didn't mind as much since the Lumia 900 just came out and it can't be much older than my phone. So, after 3 weeks of having a non-working phone with no compensation from Nokia for an AT&T phone/data service that was not used for 3 weeks, I have (hopefully) a working phone.Excited to have a phone again and not depend on using Skype for phone calls via Wi-fi... I attended a few business meetings on my phone. Yes... the next defect then reared its ugly head - the phone will hang up on you without your knowledge. No... this is NOT an AT&T coverage issue as I didn't have this problem with my 1st Nokia phone and I had spend hours talking on the 1st phone with no issues. The 1st time it happened (try not to laugh), I was talking away for about 15-20 minutes reviewing some document before realizing the line had gone dead. By the time, I reconnected, my colleagues had left the meeting - thinking I hung up on them - how embarassing was that? Next day... had another meeting... this time I was a little more alert to make sure the line remained opened. It happened again 10 minutes into the call. But this time, I caught it and was able to dial back in immediately to continue the meeting.Now imagine having a phone that just hangs up on you in the middle of a meeting without any notice or indication. If I loss a call due to a bad connection or coverage, you'll hear a warning alert that your call has been dropped. This phone just drops the call silently and your phone screen is blank. I had to constantly check with my colleagues and look at the phone to check that I was still on the call.So... before you brand me as a MS or Nokia hater, I actually had high hopes for the phone. I do like the phone and the OS. BUT what's most important is a functional phone. Twice now - it wasn't. I shudder to think what defects my 3rd Nokia phone will have.I guess that's the price you pay for wanting the latest and (not so) greatest i.e. you may get a lemon - twice!

It's a lovely phone with great big screen and fab battery life.

I'd give it 5 stars but for some reason it is not possible (as it is with all my other Lumias) to switch off the vibrate in the Windows Navigation bar.

Also the screen is ridiculously bright even on the lowest setting.

This phone is absolutely brilliant and certainly one of the best phones I have ever used. After using the Nokia Lumia 800 for nearly a year, I thought it was time for an upgrade as it is a small phone which doesn't help when I have big hands and its OS was outdated (WP 7.8). This phone (the 1320) seems big at first but if you have used windows phone before, it is a dream to use. It runs smoothly and is extremely enjoyable to use. unlike other smaller phones, you have to use two hands when using apps where you use the screen a lot, however, I can just about use the phone with one hand.
This phone is extremely responsive and overall rather powerful considering it only has a dual core 1.7GHz Processor and 1 GB of RAM, which in most cases is more that what you need as windows phone really does not need much to run on.
Its battery usage is phenomenal as I can get it to run for 3 days (or there about) without needing to charge (on a normal use) because of its 3400 mAH battery.
Overall, this phone is a cheaper version of the Lumia 1520 with watered down specs (especially with the cameras) which makes it more affordable for those on a smaller budget, but don't let that put you off as this phone is a phone and a half.

The only people I think that would not suit a phone this size is people with small hands and nimble fingers, but that's my view.

I used to be an iPhone 4 user who jumped almost blindly to the Windows Phone bandwagon when it first came out about two years ago. Before that I swore I would never use Windows Mobile again. Well Windows Phone is not Windows Mobile and why did I abandon the bounty of the iOS camp and took a chance with Windows Phone? It was the design of the Windows Phone OS. Metro to me looked like the future and as a developer, I was stoked about all the behind the scenes plumbing that Microsoft did on the OS and how those little touches could enhance the user experience. I spoke to a friend about Windows Phone and compared it to an infant going up againts two giants, iOS and Android. It did not look like a fair fight then, but I always thought of Windows Phone as an infant but with Superman DNA and one day that infant is gonna grow up and kick some!! With the Mango release, Windows Phone has grown up and I think we are going to be in for some treat on the next major release, Apollo. But despite offering what I truly feel is the best user experience of any smartphone OS, Windows Phone has not quite caught on. An excellent OS alone can't sell, Windows Phone needed a Hero device. The Nokia 900 is that Hero device. On a sea of iCopycat phones, the 900 stands out, proudly pimping out Windows Phone's live tiles on its gorgeous screen. I can sum up my 4 day experience with the phone as this -> The first time I booted up Windows Phone, I thought I could never go back to iOS, and the first time I saw and held the 900, I thought I can no longer go back to the other manufacturers. Sorry Samsung, HTC, and others. I am officially a Nokia sheep now. Mmmmmeeeeeeeee (sheep sound).Update 4/19/2012After using the phone for two weeks now, I can say without a doubt that this is the best phone I've ever used. It is way better than my previous two phones (iPhone 4 and Samsung Focus) in a number of ways:1) Cellular Reception - I can now make and receive calls at home. At&t's signal at my neighborhood is pathetic but with this phone, it's not an issue at all2) Crystal clear voice signal - I no longer have to bury the phone hard on my ears to hear the other person I'm talking to.3) Stonger wifi reception - not even close. My wireless N router is located in my living room and with my previous phones and even the iPad (well the iPad is known to have lousy wifi) I can barely get a signal in my bedroom. Not a problem with this phone at all!!4) Stonger/Faster Cellular data reception - again, not even close. I can now stream internet music on my 40 mile drive to work with no breakup or interruption. Even streaming from Zune (known to have issues with slow cellular data connection) is no longer a problem! Just stellar!5) Longer battery life - at the very least, it matches that of my iPhone 4, and that's with live tiles and LTE antenna. Again, stellar!6) Audio quality - not as good as a dedicated music player like Zune HD, but very close and blows away my Samsung Focus and definitely better than iPhone 4.7) Speakers - again, not even close. This thing is loud!8) Build quality - as good as Apple's products. Nuff said.9) Looks - space age cool and most definitely stands out from the pack. I can honestly say this is more appealing than the iPhone 4.10) Screen - not the hi-res screen that most reviewers knock the phone for as compared to the iPhone, but I'll take this gorgeous vibrant screen any day over the iPhone. If you don't believe me, open up the email app on this phone and the iPhone4 and compare them side by side.And last but not least -> great customer service! Nokia owned up to their quality control issue with the initial batch of phones that got shipped with the wrong firmware version and corrected the issue immediately in a way that no other company I can recall has done before. Hats off to Nokia!

I replaced my N8 with this phone. So far it's very nice; it's definitely bigger and heavier than the N8 but having the latest software (Symbian Belle FP2) makes a difference; there's more space on the C drive, more RAM, and a faster processor, and the whole thing just works a bit better than the N8 did. Of course the camera is amazing; I won't comment on that. The software for the camera could use minor improvements but only minor; between the built-in software and CameraPro you can do basically anything you want.The 808 has a more rounded case than the N8 did, which feels nice in your hand but if you have the phone sitting on the desk, it's hard to use because it wobbles left to right as you use the touch screen. This is the sort of design detail that I've come to expect Nokia to get right, so I'm surprised.The phone does require a micro SIM card; I was able to cut my AT&T SIM card with scissors using some hints from the internet (which was nerve wracking) and it seems to be working fine.There are still a few glitches with Symbian that need to be worked out, but overall it's reasonably stable and usable. Several of the applications I loved on the N8 do not appear to be available, which is annoying. The weather widget with the version of Maps only shows temperatures in °C, though one hopes that will get fixed. I'm still trying to install Nokia Bubbles on the phone.The battery is easily removable now, which seems nice at first glance but I had grown to like the N8's hard reset functionality (which does not exist on the 808) so I'm guessing that soon enough I'll be back in the N97 world of prying off the back cover until it rattles (and the NFC antenna stops working). We'll see.There are some annoying bits of cheapness in the package, too. The charger is nice and small but the USB cord it uses is a bit shorter than is useful. There is no HDMI or USB-OTG cable shipped with the phone; I'm using the USB-OTG cable from my N8 but it's a new HDMI port (micro-HDMI instead of mini-HDMI) so I had to buy a cable for that. They also removed the 2.1mm charging port, so it's just charging by USB now.UPDATE:After using the phone for about a month, I've removed a couple of stars from the rating. The phone has a lot of potential but I think it's only a phone for die-hard Nokia/Symbian fans. There are a couple of killer bugs - the Swype beta app (which most Symbian^3 users have been using since it came out, because the stock keyboard is awful) has some significant bugs in Belle FP2 (and has recently expired, so functionality is reduced); also there is a very common problem somehow related to mobile data that causes the phone to spontaneously reboot frequently (up to several times per day) and/or drop all voice and data connections without warning, so you miss calls and text messages. I think most people knew that Nokia's support for this last Symbian phone would be lackluster, but it's actually been basically nonexistent, so we all dumped several hundred dollars on the phone and its useful life will probably be less than a year. Nokia may yet redeem itself but so far they're not doing very well.

Fantastic phone. Ignore the negative reviews or unfavourable comparisons with the Lumia 1520 (which I bought as a replacement as I somehow expected a lot more from the 1520 than the 1320). Reality it is a very good little phone. Once upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1 (over the air), you can overcome the limited memory by storing apps on an SD card. Good screen, battery lasts forever. Large, clear screen which makes viewing movies and web pages much more do-able. Camera is usable but resolution not so hot as others - this would be the only reason I why buy a 1520 over this. Otherwise for the money you get *a lot* of phone.

Hopelessly useless with so much problems with the charging port. Had to throw mine away after three months of buying it.
