Yes, that's normal. Only OTA update will keep your data and apps. You can login at windowsphone.com to restore, go to Purchase History. Connect your phone to WiFi and check Send apps to my phone using push notifications under the Find My Phone setting.

SMS can be backed up to your Microsoft account.

Coming soon

I'd really prefer you guys wait patiently for the OTA update. I hope it will be available within this month.

The other way is just to hard reset your phone, and rebuild from there. Both hard reset and NSU will nuke all your apps and settings, whereas OTA will not. If you installed many apps before, it will help to be selective and only reinstall the ones you really need and use.

OTA = Over The Air, where you directly download the firmware update to your phone. You can check this under Settings - Phone Update.

NSU = Nokia Software Updater, a software to use on PC and update the phone connected via USB.

625 = big screen and can change cover colour
720 = better screen, good battery

625 something of a toy, good for movie, youtubing

720 more serious and practical phone, good all round

Contacts are automatically synced to your Microsoft account.

Are they not in your Microsoft account too? I'm curious on this point.

For Lumia 620 it was around 220MB, should be similar for 720 I suppose.

start here

click Start Building

sign in with your Microsoft account, tick the box and sign up as developer

then go to the tab, OS Preview for Developers to push the required app to your phone

open the Preview for Developers app on your phone, accept the Terms & Conditions

then check for updates under the usual Phone Update setting

yes, still get the official Nokia update later

not sure on the file size, but it was quicker to download and install than Amber last time, maybe around 200MB

My text can put a message on the glance screen, like Please call 01x... if you find this phone.

Ya, and turn off the haptic button finally is great. Samsung had that feature for ages already.
