I bought the Lumia 520 for my son. Here's my view and it is not meant to influence anyone.

For the price, I would say the phone is excellent. Just nice for an entry level phone and for secondary schoolies like my son.

The feel is there, the touch screen is receptive and behaves as expected.

The Achilles heel lies in its wifi capability. It can connect to the router but the phone cannot open any internet addresses. I realised first when I noticed that my son's prepaid credit depleted. So, I connected to the wifi router but I am still not able to open any web page.

I rang the Nokia shop in 1 Utama and the sales guy kept telling that the wifi router is the culprit and that I am to get te Unifi guys to come and sort it out for me. I then called in the unifi contractor and he tested other devices I had including this notebook I'm using, galaxy note and one ipad. All were able to connect to the wifi spot and access the internet.

So I rang again the Nokia shop in 1 Utama and they told me to go to the Nokia service centre to sort it out. I was really pissed off coz since I bought the phone on 11 May 2013, I'm still not able to use the wifi connection.

Now, I regret for not buying a Samsung for my son. Seriously.
NO-Nokia for me and the rest of my family...forever!
