they had flipcases but not really a fan of flip case, it's nillkin snap on cover. looks great. will upload picture soon.

crash? as in when using certain app or just in home screen? mine crashed twice, once when using whatsapp and one when using youtube.

so far what brand of micro sd card recommended?

i don't know, someone here was saying sandisk had alot of defective micro sd, so i bought kingston class 10. so far so good and has lifetime warranty.

Came across a lot of positive reviews/comments on the 720's camera quality considering its price point, and have been interested ever since.

How well can it capture text from a distance (i.e. whiteboards, notice boards)? I can't find any relevant sample shots to make a decision.

tomorrow I go and take some pix in my classroom for you.

sorry only have ipad to take picture so picture not that clear

umm i have one taken of a blackboard, dont know if it can help you but hey i have it so shall upload it



and here is some food pictures and night pictures taken with my 720.

look forward to those pix bro. I was considering that snap on type but I worry if its enough protection cause I once dropped my galaxy W from abt a meter top first on car park road. The W was safe but the flip case shell cracked. It would have been shattered if I didn't use flip case.

Abt crashing, I had some freezing instead when using IE. I just locked the phone and unlocked it everything back to normal... So what happened here?

Looks real good. Black on red . Now deciding just got harder...

Pictures are up! Hmm about the crashing. Maybe alot of apps were running on the background? As the 720 only has 512mb ram probably it couldn't take it. Possible explanation for freezing and crashing?

Oh and owners let me know so i can update the first page.

Haha yeah, the exact reason i chose black. It looks so good on the red phone. White wouldve been nice but white covers just get dirty too fast. Yours is white phone right? Can try for brown or red snap on

about the crash,


did you guys check the date last updated everytime wanna install apps?

my rule of thumb, if year 2012 and before, the apps is for windows phone 7,
only install most recent updated or year 2013 apps..


check every apps and games, if you had to check it one by one, by all means, do it,
if you had to uninstall, do it too.


crashes also a popular issue in early days of lumia 920 thread,
but when i come up with the rule of thumb, and everybody seems to agree with it and no more crashes after that..


but, newly release apps also may got bugs, but it is much easier to detect lah if u already buang all apps for wp7..
when crashes after install new apps, u know the culprit is who..

but if u not filter out wp7 apps and just install every apps u see, then problematic la..

Hi, thinking of getting a lumia 720 but its 512mb ram making me think twice... I heard there are some app on window phone which wont run if the ram is jus 512... Can advice on what are some of this app?

all apps can run on a 512mb ram if im not mistaken...only games that need 1GB of ram

L720 pix looks more natural than L920!!!

Based on most photos in the gallery linked from the first post in this thread [link], I'd have to agree.

But imo, it's not something consistent across all images. Some of the L720's outdoor shots seem desaturated in comparison to the L920 and L820. (or it could just be the other two oversaturating the colours)
The presence of a yellowish/reddish tint in a couple of the L720's photos is unmistakable though.

Already bought black one..add me please😃

820 worst lah always got this purple ish white balance
i dont mine desaturated colors.. At least better than OVERsaturation.

its like when you are too pale and too overreact.
I will still like being too pale than overreacting haha

920 has more details, refer to cat photo,
720 better than 820..

bro the white board n sample text pix. both pix are not edited.



photcopied newspaper article with lamination

is this the yellowish tinge??



taken in the same room and abt the same time but on the floor

Sometimes i wish my 920 doesnt have ois or at least can turn off ois, because if wanna take document picture sometimes fail if i position the handphone in awkward angle..

if straight up no problem, bug if the paper lying on table, problem abit if wanna take picture, the ois kicks in, and picture come out blurry abit. no longer valid since i already diy the fix.
