Just got my first WP..gotta love the slim design
I'm very satisfied with 830..

But I'm curious, I wonder why sum time my navigation button doesn't light up when I touch it.. N Sum time it works ..

Is that normal for WP?

yup... though its not a show stopper..i was just curious...

thanks for the confirmation.. at least now i know my unit is not faulty....

the phone does feel elegant when u hold it...
comparing it with my xperiaZ... my vote goes to 830..

camera performs much better in darker area even w/out flash (vs xperia Z)... not sure bout latest Z3 though...

but for me, im really satisfied with what 830 has to offer..
good camera quality
OS is fluid
phone doesnt get hot fast like android (not sure if this is due to WP or hardware)
screen is sharp altho not fullHD..

it just feels like a flagship device, minus the big hole in my wallet....

if u decide to get this phone, just check the edges of the screen..
some unit might not have the perfect fit (flushed with the metal frame) all round..
if u can find 100% perfect, consider urself lucky...
cos last friday, i examine 3 unit, all not perfect
alas, i chose the one with minimum flaw....

i finally figured out how the navi buttons light works...
it will only lit up in dark surroundings....
if under direct light - it will not lit up...unless the proximity sensor is covered to mimic dark room....

makes sense now...can help extend battery life....

i dont think 830 is a flagship phone la bro... more like a mid range phone only ...
the fitting is not 100% perfect like those 2-3k flagship phones...
so expect some very small flaws.. (or maybe i was just being too picky)

but overall quality is very close to perfect..
in my case, out of 3, only 1 phone had an obvious flaw..
the other 2, was acceptable, altho I cant say its 100% perfect..
different people have diff expectation.. some may say the imperfection is acceptable, some may not...

u need to check it out urself...

affordable flagship phone is just a nice way to describe a mid range phone i think...

camera, volume, power buttons so far so good...... no clicking/loose sound when u shake the phone...
no issue with pinch to zoom .. screen is working as it should...
i dont know much about previous lumias, but based on first impression of 830...
i like it very much... i can now say i like it more than my xperiaZ (altho i cant go swimming with it... )

yes.. u can pinch to zoom while taking video shot...

u mean launch camcoder, take some video directly from wassap?
looks normal to me... but not hd quality i guess...
if u need HD, maybe can take video from nokia camera, then send it thru wassap....
