No glance and SD card isn't a dealbreaker for me, but I do get the feeling that Nokia's keeping a better flagship phone up their sleeves.
Isn't this basically the Lumia Icon anyway?

Don't know if getting this phone is worth it. I feel like Nokia will be releasing a better flagship at the end of the year, since this phone is just a global version of the Icon that was released way earlier this year. But if I wait and it ends up to be a huge phone (I feel like 1520 is too big for me) I'll be pissed.

At the same time, my poor HTC Radar is on its last legs. Battery can't even last half a day now, and the lag is ridiculous. sad.gif

It seems like the only downsides to this phone are no SD support and no Glance, both of which I feel aren't important anyway.

What do you guys think? Should I wait for the next one or get this?

I pre-ordered and I was told I can get it on the 7th. But after reading these posts I'm not sure anymore. o.O

Pre-ordered at The Gardens branch..

EDIT:
Just noticed that pre-order promo ends on the 6th, so if it's true that can pick it up after the promo, that means 7th is probably true(?)

Shop hasn't called yet to notify that the stock is here. Looks like we'll have to play the waiting game.

Quick review of the L930 for me!

The good:
1. Looks great
2. WP8.1 feels like a huge upgrade
3. Camera's great (in a well lit environment)

The bad:
1. Gets hot fast, even using normal apps
2. Battery can go down fast if you don't disable background apps
3. Purple tint (seems to be affecting a few people only)

Guys, any idea where to get accessories? I hate this flip Rock cover lol.

QUICK REVIEW UPDATE:
-Battery life has definitely improved (probably after disabling some bg apps)
-Heat issue is becoming less and less

Yeah, battery can last 1.5 to 2 days for me - moderate use (whatsapp, photos, browsing).
Still gets warm sometimes (angry birds).

Found some cases here - there's even official ones:

Wonder why they didn't give the official Nokia case during pre-order...  wink.gif hmm.gif

Thanks! But for a flagship phone the choices are pretty limited. Was hoping to find something like this.

This is a Lumia 925 case.. Hoping they'll make something similar..

Hey guys, does anyone else have a problem with the front camera? I know the phone has a purple tint prob (which can be fixed in settings) but somehow my front camera takes pictures with purple tint. Not sure if it's my phone issue or that's just the way it is?

Using Camera360 app and with a filter fixes this though, but still.
