Bought this phone last week,

Pros - so far the best RM500+ range phones, OS is smooth, gps is good and camera is best at this price range believe.

Cons - battery used up quite fast, the auto brightness seem abit too dim. The camera button is hard to press.
and being new to these lumia windows experience, i can safely say that access to software is kind troublesome, especially wifi and stuff where you have to go in settings to set whereas a android is one swipe away from it.

overall the phone is one of the best low end phone out there provided that the user utilize the gps and camera which is their strength in lumia phone!

Me an ex-Lumia 800 user. I noticed WP never really done a good implementation with the brightness sensor. Can you try to disable the auto brightness and switch to medium? See if you get improved battery life.

one thing about 520.. is

the cover quality is really really lacking till the point it affects the buttons on the side.
so far this the most common problem i get back from my buyers.

if can fork out a bit of extra money, i reckon my buyers to go for 620. since should be noticing a minor price drop on 620 in the market.

Even after aligning the buttons to the case it still have issues?

I tested Lumia 520 in Nokia store...turned out it has shutter issue. Ahnien is correct; the alignment issue will come back even after you re-aligned it again. I don't understand why Nokia dropped their ball on this one. BTW, I proceed to purchase an Asha 501....flawless although it is a much lower end phone.
