Hey guys.. just wanted to start this topic about the upcoming Nokia Lumia Windows 8 phone. Well I like Nokia Lumia's Slick display. but hesitated to buy Nokia Lumia 800 cause I heard bad rumours about it
Wanted to hear all your opinions about the phone before I consider buying it. My budget is around 1k. But if you can, recommend me some competitors that are also around that range.

P.S This is my first thread so go easy on me XD

HahaXD I plan to buy Lumia 800 at first as well. I have read quite a few articles and posts about Lumia 800 and I believe it's quite good based on the low price.

Pros:
GPS offline
Decent camera
Nice design
People Hub would be great if you like to socialize

Cons:
It does not support ussd code (eg. *100#)
Rumours about bad battery life
Although camera is good, you might need to adjust the settings to get the best effect
No front camera

All the sifus, feel free to add and comment smile.gif

Not buying it because I'm waiting for Windows 8  rclxm9.gif ^^

Yeah also waiting for windows 8. Heard it has Skype integrated and might have better camera XD

About the battery life. And since wp 8 is coming out around November I rather wait till after SPM tongue.gif. Since its gonna be awesome rclxms.gif
Then I also heard Nokia lumia is faster than most of the androids considering Nokia is only single core XD.

Pros:
GPS offline is good, sometimes slow on my end but with assisted gps, this phone works great. The other day my mom tries to pasang her gps on the car while it kept on looking for signal but my phone was able to get the destination and route instantly. Decent camera? Is one of the best camera out there if only you know how to operate a "basic camera" not just snap. Nice design? Yes definitely, not like some phones just plain ripped off another and end up in spending their money on courts. People hub's integration is a godsend stalker ability, I mean I can pull out my phone and check for updates during a gossip, just saying laugh.gif

Cons:
USSD code are old and telco should do something about it unless you're on prepaid, "deal with it". If can't live without USSD codes, don't bother getting any WPs. Rumors about bad battery life? My man, where do you get this article or news from? Must be from last year huh? Nokia already updated their firmware and manage to get triple the battery life. I've posted some updates on the battery life on this forum, someone who managed to keep their battery life (Lumia 800) for 3 days since last charge, hows that for a poor battery life? It's not like all the other smartphones out there will last that long. Camera settings, yes but some apps with camera function performs better reported by some forumer but I can live with the default one. Front facing camera, that, you have to ask yourself if you really need to do video calls.
Windows 8? Skype integrated? Are you refering to WP8? sweat.gif
Not just Lumia phones but the entire Windows Phones are smooth and fluid except those with poor memory cards. (I didn't say is faster than most androids, so droid fags don't butthurt kay?)
Doesn't matter as long as the phone works for you, if you truly has maximised the capabilities of the phone and yet feel not enough for their use then by all means, go get a new phone.

lastly, bishes lurve Apples  whistling.gif

alright. for the USSD codes me dad's already paying for by bill haha. thanks for the help.. smile.gif Lumia WP8 shall be my first smart phone. XD.

damn, out of my budget then.. sad.gif
do u guys think the Lumia 800 price will drop even further with the launch of the 820? if it drops less than rm900, then it's a steal!
*
It might be less than 900. With the coming WP8 and the possible drop price of lumia 900.. But why settle for that when you can get the WP8?tongue.gif

By right Nokia should price L920 at around RM 2k and L820 at around 1.5k as it doesn't have pureview. The way I see it Nokia isn't gonna attract a lot of customers right now. Due to the pricing. Well let's just wait.
