Bought it last Saturday after the rally, straight away go and bought. Rm699. Black color.
Have a Lumia 610 already...bought it same price with the new 620, last time smile.gif

My review :

1. Its a big improvement over 610
2. Everything is faster (of course la,with better hardware,but price almost the same!)
3. Lack of apps...normal la.Wait a while and hopefully everything is better
4. Camera is better than 610..
5. Screen...SO MUCH better contrast. Even when you turn of the display you could see the difference between 610 screen depth and 620 Clearblack screen.
6. Nokia Drive+ is a little unstable..it still; in beta phase though
7. Battery consumption..I would say if Lumia 610 last at least 2 days on one charge, the 620 is holding on nicely..around 1 and a half days per charge (for me)
8. Be patient about the battery...the consumption will get much better after 4-5 charging time
9. It looks good,right? Compared to 610 and 710, it does make the older two look outdated
10. Nokia City Lens..is awesome. Cant install it on 610 before, now I am going everywhere.
11. No other problem except for the Drive+ keep closing sometimes.
12. Text prediciton using Malay language is much2 better and now it support slangs too, haha

Main cons about Lumia is the apps support..
Hopefully it will get better.

ps - My son have drop the phone once from 4 feet height. No problem.

using IE browser, we can use the Back button to go back to previous pages.

how to go forward, example if I press Back too many times?
*
unfortunately IE 10 does not have forward button in WP8. however, u can use UC browser as it has a forward button
