nokia initially annouced rrp @ rm1799 last week.

but suddenly cut down the price to rm1599.

can obviously see that nokia having atleast a rm500 profit per unit.

they should have seen that the potential sales diff between rm1799 and rm1599.

quote from old thread.

920 weight not necessarily bad , its like a tank, i've drop my phone twice (with tpu case) about 1meter height angle drop, 2nd face down.

remember the 920 drop test we saw year ago?? 920 drop 3rd time screen still not crack!! look at 925.

Too bad there aren't that many cases yet

Nah satu lagi

Expected. One of the main reason I do not prefer L925 compare to L920.
You may say that I am not Full-Casing and not a gentle user. I wouldn't shell, though.

Also, an unfortunate L925 User Reporting.
However, I wouldn't consider myself a Proud L925 user. Perhaps, I shouldnt be in the list. Lol.

Wait. I thought the RRP is officially RM1599 now. Why the stores still sticks with RM1799?

this tipster is pretty legit yo!

How many gizmos do you have, can you share with us with a picture of your whole collection?

heh....collection ? i keep you guys posted on the new devices....

i am anticipating not the 1020 but another flagship in Q4 by Nokia.

the price i posted is when day 1 the lumia 925 enter the mines nokia, i asked abt the rrp by nokia fb, they said will refund.
not sure abt today pricing, i think they updated already.

For me, i will not buy 925, feels more less the same to 920 lol..
wait till amber update for 920, then will have nothing to lose against 925..

camera wise i think not much difference.. We got proshot to take care of that department..

I think right now only 520 and 720 worth buying..
920 is old dy..

520 with super price value, compared to similar price range from android device.. 520 is wp8, can play 1080p movie, play games, got gps nav, and since it is running wp8, will eligible to update to wp9 later..

720 price can buy better spec android device, but still u get bigger screen, lightweight wp8, basically 520 on steroid..

920 is worth buying, only after gdr2 and amber arrive malaysia, i believe price oso will drop at that moment..

1799 is RRP

1599 is raya promotion

Hey there peeps,

I just bought two units of the Lumia 925 on Friday (2nd August) at RM1435 at directd for me and my dad.


It is definitely a great phone, I do not deny that.

However, I have a really big issue with it. The phone overheats a lot. Both the units overheats when using messaging, browsing internet, whatsapp, LINE etc and because its aluminium by the sides, it can sometimes be unbearable to hold due to the extreme heat. I am not sure if these two are faulty units (can't be both at the same time right?) or is it suppose to be that way. I have tried googling around but the only thing I found close to this issue is this : http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumi...25/td-p/1999686

.... which is no help at all. . Oh and because overheating is associated with great battery discharge, I am only getting half day worth of battery. Release charger in the morning (9am) and die around (6pm) [light usage in my case - less than 30 min phone calls, whatsapp, and browsing for a minute or two(overheats like mad when I do this)]. This also occurs to my dad's unit and he is a heavy user which causes the phone to die even faster.. Any users out there that would be able to help with this?

Just a side note : I just successfully convinced my dad to switch to Lumia from Galaxy Note 2 and would want to keep it that way but he is incredibly unhappy with this. :S

Wow.. Never knew battery life will affect 925 too..

Lumia 920 had a similar problem as well?

not really. I think mine is better than yours right now,
i thought 925 should be able to extend battery life with amoled screen..

why dont you try set screen brightness to low or medium, turn off auto and sunlight readability, it will help save the battery and reduce heat cos of lesser battery drain.

But 9 hour of light usage is like a standard of 920..
925 should able to reach more than 10 hrs..

my 920 if play youtube and ganes, with wifi like no tomorrow should lasted me 3.5 hrs..
but its not hot..just warm only..

I see alright.Yeah, my first step right off the bat was to set the brightness to low. That usage I told you about was when the brightness was set to low. I also turned the touch sensitivity to 'Normal' - don't know if this helps.

but I did not turn off the sunlight readability mainly because I thought it would be useful to have it turned on whenever I go outdoors but perhaps I should give that a try. Thanx for the suggestion. Will be monitoring the heat and the battery.

Oh serious? I never knew that (the battery life of 920). I only had a Lumia 800 before this and that one lasted quite a bit for me (it is low spec'ed anyway).

Hurm, perhaps the 920 polycarbonate body makes it feel warm instead of hot. Not an expert in this so just a wild guess. The aluminium of the Lumia 925 is superb (feels expensive and gets cold in aircond room[lol]) but when the heat comes on, dayumm, it can fry an egg!(exaggeration) but it is really really hot.
