Currently rocking a Lumia 620. Very affordable, really good phone. It's fast, runs everything very smoothly, battery duration is very good unless you have 3g + wifi + gps all activated which is to be expected. My only complain is the search button. I handle my phone with one hand, and the base of the thumb sometimes presses the search button (which opens Bing) while reaching for the letters on the far left of the keyboard. Over time I got used to avoid it, but sometimes it still touch it very slightly and Bing shows up. Those are the only times I pressed that button.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful info....

I have a Nokia 1020. Very, very happy with it. The camera is freaking awesome, but if that is not of a concern I'd go for one of the cheaper models. It is freaking awesome though ;-)

I've had a Lumia 920 for about a year and I love it, best I've ever owned. At first, there was a glitch with the firmware, but the Nokia Software Updater (now version 4.1.0) took care of it. The Amber update was rock solid, as was Black. I use the phone all the time (email, SMS, Kindle, and best of all navigation). Nokia's turn-by-turn navigation requires no connection of any kind (no WiFi, no cellular data) if you download the country map(s) when connected to WiFi ahead of time. It has too many features that I love to list here (Glance, the camera and the camera software, etc.)
May I ask in what country and region are you, and on what carrier? How is the call quality?

I forced convinced all of them because that way I can provide end-user support :) But I have to admit that my wife still misses the Sony Vivaz she previously owned because it was neat and had a great camera - unlike the Lumia 800, first generation Lumias were good, but not great.
That was my experience too - I had a Lumia 800 (purchased just before WP8 announced as not backward-compatible). It was good at the time, but the latest generation (I have a 1020) are just awesome.

I bought my 920 in the Philippines, it is an open phone. I mostly use it in Europe on the Vodafone network. Right now I am in SE Asia (Bali, Indonesia and the Philippines), this weekend I am off to Hong Kong, then Helsinki and Budapest. The call quality is superb, albeit in the Philippines dropped calls are the norm. It is not Nokia's fault, the same thing happens on my wife's LG Optima.

I have a 925 and love it. I wish it had more storage or an sd card slot, but i've never had a problem with lag or delays that couldnt be attributed to poor data connection where i was.

I had the Lumia 920. Loved it. Great performance, great screen, great camera. Then I dropped it on a rock and the screen broke.. Now I have the 1020, which is basically like the 920 but with an even better camera. The camera on the 1020 is *unbelievable*. Based on your needs it sounds like you would be very happy with the 920.

I own a 1520 and absolutely love it. I really liked my 920 but the 1520 blows it away.

My wife has a 1520 and I have a 925 - wonderful products. COntrary to how I see most people using their smartphones, my wife and I primarily use them as phones (to talk to people - we let birds tweet or tootle or whatever) and the volume and quality is much better than average. As neither of us are obsessive phone app abusers, I have no issues around "not enough apps" - your mileage may vary depending on what you currently depend on. Neither of us have any regrets regarding the retirement of our HTC or iPhone. Both have excellent life even with Netflix, Hulu and Pandora. All seem to last a "waking" day (7-12) and I have only once had to charge during the day as I normally charge the phone every night. Memory seems to be more than sufficient and Web browsing over WiFi is a dream, and over the AT&T network is acceptable (Thats the carriers fault not the phones). I also got a 2520 pad with the phones and I have only 2 peeves with the 2520 - its 1080p (1920x1080) so even modern sites look crappy with a LOT of white space, and Nokia is VERY late with the keyboard/cover (i'm backordered) the ONLY thing preventing this pad from being the ultimate businessman's tool. I can use the full office apps but the popup keyboard is obtrusive. Because of the resolution, you'll need a stylus or thin fingers when in the "old" windows apps. Otherwise it is a solid windows product. My business partner keeps using my 2520 for demos rather than his iPad.
Nothing is impossible, we just don't know the way of it yet.

I've been using the Lumia 920 for a while. And I pretty much love it. It has everything you can ask from a smartphone. And once you get used to wireless charging, you'll never want to go back :)

I've used the Lumia 822 and now 928 on Verizon. Loved them both, really nothing to complain about on either. The new Lumia Icon on VZW is a very compelling offering; lack of Glance support being the only thing people are complaining about thus far. All-in-all, I don't see a reason to buy any WP other than Nokia ones; they're the only OEM invested in the platform and constantly evolving it through 2nd party apps like Video Trimmer, Video Uploader, etc.

My wife and I love our 920s! My sister loves her 925! I love the tiles, even the best android/iPhones look very dated with the icons. Pros: Colors for sure! Kids corner is awesome! Nokia Here, City Lens, Drive are all "killer" apps. Microsoft default apps (weather, calendar, messaging) make it needless to install a 3rd party. Fast and reliable. Of course, camera camera camera (was embarrassed for a iPhone 5c friend who was comparing photos with me...she just bought it and her low light photos were terrible!) Cons: No swype keyboard (coming in phone 8.1). Xbox video was late, but finally here (have 50 movies on xbox/win8 video store.) Need no-password option for Kids corner. Apps aren't a problem, but it is a "badge of honor" for those with an android/iPhone when your phone doesn't have that *one* sandwich ordering app (lame but true.) Fixes: Install the latest update! My phones used to "chime" in the middle of the night when they were finished charging on wireless charger. No more! Added a few awesome settings!

I've had a Nokia Lumia 521 for about 6 months. This is my first smartphone so I don't have a comparison but I do like it. I was going to get a 925, but the 521 costs about $100 currently (about 1/4 of a 925 or 928), so I got that as my 'starter' phone. Good Luck!

Hi Mohammed I bought a lumia 800 using windows 7 and when the 2yr contract runs out I cant wait to dump it as the problems are too many. I cant speak for the new models and w8 version but I just wont be giving it a chance. some of the faults are: the font is tiny and cant be enlarged so anyone 50+ yo will struggle to read text's unless you remember your glasses, and I always have to give it to someone and ask them what it says. you cant read the screen in the open air coz of the glare, the battery life is crap, you cant Bluetooth photos to m8's phones that aint lumias, I haven't found an easy way to forward a contact phone number as standard, I wont go on. I have used nokia since the early/mid 90's but wont do so again after my experience with this piece of shtye. no doubt theres downloads and fixes to most of the issues (except the font size) but I want a phone to work out of the box and not spend hours looking for apps that fix what the designers should have done in the first place or waiting for upgrades that never come - rant over & GL
