Never used one,but will definitely buy try one.

No

never use n i want to use one but no china brand

if u want use WP, better buy lumia becoz more features and update....

other manufacturer, may or may not release update...

maybe...good lumia all expensive

u can buy lumia 735 ...i think price around rm800 from retailer outside

Yes if they solve their push notification issue. I used Lumia800 last year and really like it. But the delayed push notifications really annoys me

just for the camera..
my L925 cepat hot if I surf internet or play some games..

android n ios too mainstream, so i choose windows phone

Probably no more. I have switched from WP to Android...while I love WP's interface, Android's (and iOS)'s app range really makes a huge differences. And the current state of WP8 isn't very encouraging as well

push notification no more issue la...lumia 800 is wp7, u need to update a bit...

nope, unless my 820 dies. If it does then I will replace it with a cheapo low end lumia phone. but with Xiaomi and other vendors(OPO, Meizu, and etc) selling phones that are seriously cheap considering their worth, I doubt that I will go for any high end lumia phones considering their usability and worth.

Yes. Even though I honestly think Android and iOS are better for now, I have been a Microsoft fan for a while and I hope to see them make a comeback with another high end device

Yes, previously used htc Mozart win 7.8. Love it. Now I'm using win 8.1 Lumia 530. Need to buy after all because windows phone 7 cannot be upgraded to wp8.
I was android user before turn to wp. I never look back to android since then.
Will buy new phone only if this 530 broken. 😉

I was a WP supporter until MS decided to kill Skype on WP 7.8. Seriously wtf..

no

price drops like mad

zero update for my lumia800

basically...good camera...good gps..

thats all

HTC ONE M8 ! or i'll settle for L1520 also good.

are you sure? coz when i googled regarding push notification issues on WP8.1, the issue still seems to crop up. are u actually using WP8/8.1 phone? I've been thinking of getting the 530 as my 2nd phone, but this issue simply puts me off.

how's the push notification on your lumia 530?

My sister L930 is gooding but a little expensive but worth every penny.

Almost bought a lumia for my mom earlier this year due to the affordability. But luckily moto G came up to the rescue so we bought her that one instead. Then it's time for dad to own a smartphone so we bought the Redmi 1s when it came out.

I'm just waiting for the right circumstances to push me to try and buy wp.

My next windows phone will be when it is windows phone 9

If u not believe, go test lo....i'm using wp8.1 now even wp8.0 also no issue since last year July update

will wait for L1520 upgrade unit...really like big screen phone as im always suffing web 24/7...not gamer type people...

Im using lumia 620 since the first day of launch in malaysia.. At the beginning i had push notification issues.. But it was solvespd after lumia black updatw. Now with lumia cyan/8.1, notification centre very up to date together with push notification. After this if any push norification issue, i would blame the app developer. Bcoz my whatsapp,facebook,instagram beta all very quick notification i woukd say.

Yes for the fluidity and business/work friendly features

thanks for the feedback. now i can buy a WP phone tanpa was-was.

Very good. Welcome to Windows phone community.

No issues on push-notification. Sometimes my lumia receives Whatsapp messages faster then my family mi3.

Yes, Here Map.

HTC One M8 for Windows Phone.

If it ever goes international, yes. Would like to try out the 'ultrapixel' photo quality.

WP Central link: http://www.wpcentral.com/5-reasons-i-like-...trapixel-camera

Here map beta is already available on Android, I've just used it this morning

not bad to use, and i love it.

Yes. I just bought a new 830. One thing I like is that you can install apps on Micro SD card. So you can save space in the phone. I am not aware that Android can do that without rooting and installing third party app.

Will go back to windows phone once I get bored of all those games on android.

wp not good for LINE users...

no good, then use whatsapp, wechat

for messaging app, if they don't care WP platform, they are losing 50mil wp devices

ex lumia 620 user here,gone back to android bcoz of the lacks compare to android.

i do hope its mature enough for now,got 30% chance might gone back to wp,purely because of nokia

Need to go back to ios later

Yeah, will use it for second phone.

I like the smoothness and the dark look of WP. And, I like the UI on some apps.

Still in love with Lumia! Lumia FTW!

In serious debate to ditch iOS back to Windows Phone again, possibly with Lumia 830.

maybe for a second until it gets more stable apps

temporary will not buy Windows phone . Been a user for Nokia Lumia 800 and Samsung ATIV S

It not because windows phone not good, its all because the usable application is really little or not available.

Even available, its all very old and not update version. Microsoft should give it a hits on this.
In the smartphone era, it not because how fluid your OS , its about the usable apps.

Will give it a try...

You should

Any good and strong reason why?

You prefer windows mobile or Android?

I use to be IOS user actually. I can't actually tell you the comparisons with android as i have not used it long enough to be a good judge.

In the beginning i did find it difficult to switch. But after awhile i fell in love.

Things i like:
- UI
- Camera (lowlight capabilities are awesome)
- design
- You don't need major high end specs for your device to run smoothly
- honestly the third party apps can be more awesome than the original ones
- Live tiles
- and a lot of smaller details


It really depends what you look for in a phone though

Thanks..

My future phone, I would need it to have

1/ Can capture good pictures
2/ Support Widgets to put on screen, especially Calender widgets
3/ Productive on emails and documents
4/ Battery life

Windows able to fulfill the above?

yes, I just buy Lumia 530 to replace my old cracked-screen Lumia 900 8 months ago.. I'm in dilemma between Zenfone 4 or Lumia530 (budget phone).

Finally I chose Lumia 530 due to it's Offline GPS

Want to upgrade into Lumia 735 or 830 after this.

It has everything you require

Battery life is quite subjective. depends on which model you opt for. To be honest battery life is subjective to most people depending on their usage and requirement.

i need a WP for my secondary phone

probably will wait until MS release an affordable 1GB ram device

TQ..

But I thought Windows phone cannot handle widgets? Are you referring to the widgets in the Tile form?

Calender widget is important for me. I put the widget taking up the whole screen of my Android. So I can see at a glance my coming activities without need to press into the Calender app.

There's two ways of achieving this in Windows Phone :

The first method is to use third party calendar app (Cal, Simple Calendar) and pin it to your home screen. Most of these calendar app shows more event on the live tiles compare to the built in calendar app.

Here's an example of how the Cal app will look like on your home screen:



The second method is to use third party app that use your lock screen. Apps like Simple Calendar will display a maximum of 6 event on your lock screen

Here's an example of how the Simple Calendar app will look like on your lock screen (Note : You can put any wallpaper you want while still displaying your appointment on your lockscreen)

no

Thanks for the info.

Seems the widgets in Android still mire superior. I will put two calender widgets on 2 screens. Each widgets takes one full phone page. Why two? Coz one is viewing in month. Another for tasks viewing. In task widgets, I can still scroll down to see all the tasks which cannot be displayed in one full screen. I guess window tile cannot do scrolling within the tile?

I think you missed out the Nokia HERE offline navigation have arrived for Android.

Meanwhile, anyone got any recommendation for Entry-level Lumia device? Wanna try WP8.1

Never cuba cause I kaki apple .
At least I still want try soon or later

Wah really? Great for Android user! Android really need offline GPS.

Though, still can't beat faster GPS connection in Nokia while offline

Perhaps you can try Lumia 530, the cheapest one, purposely to tryout the system.
Though, lack of auto focus camera,magnetometer, for me it is quiet problem in cheap Lumia 530.
If you want that feature, maybe Lumia 735 suite you.

To be honest, the fast GPS locking speed have nothing to do with your OS.

If your Lumia device is using Qualcomm SoC, while Android device also using Qualcomm SoC, when you try compare both together, the locking speed is the same. Is nothing to do with either Windows Phone OS or Android OS.

Unless you tell me the Android device is China OEM made powered by Mediatek SoC.

Auto Focus Camera not deal breaker for me as I don't use budget device to expect shoot awesome picture anyway.

Magnet Sensors also not deal breaker for me which I don't use flip magnet cover.

What was the price of Lumia 530? Recently I read a news of new Microsoft Branded Lumia 535 coming to Malaysia shore too. The Lumia 535 is the successors of Lumia 530.

I see.. new info for me

You can get Lumia 530 at RM 309 at DirectD..

If Lumia 535 is coming to here, then better for you to wait for it

Yes, owning black Lumia 925 totally worth it, good cams, good body, smooth, great sound almost audiophile MP3 player level, GPS features that beat Garmin , it get even better if you own Windows 8.1 desktop.

Maybe if the pricing is competitive.

Hi NightFelix! We are in the same boat here!

I have been thinking buying a WP as my 2nd phone.
My target should be Lumia 630 (RM399 at satugadjet/directd).
Lumia 630 has superior specs than 530 (RM299).

If I am satisfied with WP, then later maybe I'll be upgrading to Lumia 1020 or 930 or 1520.

Still thinking.... and got a lot of questions to be asked to WP oldtimer forumer here..


AND,,,
About HERE Maps on Android, that shouldn't be a big problem.
Even without HERE Maps, I use Sygic (Cracked) for offline navigation and it never fails me.

Lumia numbering model kinda confuse to choose from Low-entry to Mid-ranger.

Maybe I should buy a second hand unit of Low-entry Lumia instead of getting a new one, but problem is, low-entry can't experience the ClearBlack feature, PureView etc.

Price from Directd.
Nokia Lumia 735 - RM899 (Mid-Ranger)
Nokia Lumia 530 DualSIM - RM299 (Low-Entry)
Nokia Lumia 930 - RM1659 (Flagship)
Nokia Lumia 630 DualSIM - RM399 (Low-Entry)
Nokia Lumia 1520 - RM1599 (Phablet Flagship)

I think only Lumia 735 is the cheapest Lumia that have PureView camera to experience. Lemme think first. and I think Nokia HERE is much more smartphone friendly compare to Sygic you talking about.

Why not buy a second hand Lumia 925/Lumia 920 at Mobile Garage (Nokia)? That's how I got my L925

Is it the evolution of Lumia 920?
920 > 925 > 930

Are the coming soon rumor MS Lumia 940 coing soon?

Lumia 735 does not have PureView. Cheapest Lumia with PureView is Lumia 830.

Oh. Thanks for the head up. I'm still new to Lumia model.

Judging from the spec Lumia 735 VS Lumia 830. Only 8GB VS 16GB Internal Storage, Front Camera, Pureview/OIS capable, 4.7" AMOLED vs 5.0" LCD only. Lumia 735 seems a better deal.

If the secondhand value good..i will consider

If you are considering to buy used/secondhand Lumia to experience the PureView or ClearBlack, then Lumia 920/925 are the best choice here.

The current market price for used L920: RM400-550 while for L925: RM550-650 depending on phone conditions/seller..
I have changed my mind, right now I am hunting for a used L920/L925 especially the YELLOW one
My priority should be for the PureView alone, mannn I can't stand Nexus 4 terrible camera anymore

Anyway, both L920/L925 are almost the same..
L920: cheaper/32GB/LCD/wireless charging but thicker and bulkier
L925: frame metal/slimmer/AMOLED but more expensive/only 16GB

Hmmmmm

I thought currently tech review the iPhone 6/6+ is the Best Smartphone Camera at the moment? And is easier bend than Nokia Lumia. #BendGate

Anyway, I don't mind with second hand sets, actually I looking at the AMOLED screen of Lumia 630 @ RM3XX. I will skip Lumia 920 as I was looking for AMOLED type of Lumia. Maybe will take Lumia 925 consideration.

Lumia 630 is IPS, Lumia 735 is AMOLED

Ops. Thanks for the head up. Must be got confuse.
I think the ClearBlack tech are amazing.

A few days ago a friend see my Lumia 630 for the first time and immediately mistook it for the new iphone 6.

I'll buy another WP.. evolution for 920.. right now I'm using 920.. it's a good Phone.. Satisfied with it..

Are you talking 920 or 930?

er.. more advance version.. haha.. coz right now i'm using 920.. if 940 came out.. maybe i will replace my 920 -> 940..

Alleged Microsoft Lumia 940 specs leak: Snapdragon 805, 24 MP PureView camera, WP10

So you are saying that even there's app.. But the phone lagg like crap still acceptable then?

I think i would come back to wp. It got the best camera experience around. (Used to own lumia 920 until it was lost). Tested the lumia camera app on my sis 1520, just awesome! 2ndly, i wanna get back the apps & games that I've purchased before.
Currently im using moto g and in the future i can see myself using wp9/10 and android lollipop.

NO if the apps store still not improving..Anyway i love the wp OS itself..

wp7.8 just stopped there...thats the only thing i mad at nokia/microsoft....why not just allow OTA updates to wp8/wp8.1...now all wp7.8 just left to death...

(my L900 dead...my wife is still going strong) meanwhile i use lumia1020....and maybe will buy L1520 for wife....


and mother in law wants a smart phone (while she not really IT literate person) so show her L530...she direct go pay... tak sempat i nak suggest other cheaper phone.....hope she doesnt get bored with the basic wp8.1

WP7.8 had a diff kernel thus cannot be updated to WP8/8.1 IINM

itulah....lock lagi bootloader....kan dah susah sendiri..abandon own product....

kalau tak dah boleh root masuk wp8 or better...

I read kat gsmarena all lumia phones will get updates yo

nope....all those older generation wp7.5/7.8 based will left to death like the symbian......


only the wp8 versiun will get future updates



*wp7.5/7.8 = L610,710,800,900


the later wp8/8.1 = L620 and the rest...

This post has been edited by ^pomen_GTR^: Dec 5 2014, 11:19 AM

Damn that L800

Buy 1350..now dunno how many sen je

why u no take 1520 in the first place?


now rumours 1030 and 1530 coming in shortly....

Hold your horse! CES 2015 @ Las Vegas start @ 6 Jan 2015 till 9 Jan 2015.

My crush wanted one badly

So i bought it wanted to give her

Planning to pass it to her the next week on bday..manatau she bought one also..



And last time manada 1520

Only 710 800 900 iinm

I bought a 710 and a 800

Used to owned a 525, kinna like it, not impressed by it. maybe would buy a 925 or a moto g for second phone.

so this is a debate , if windows phone just like what it lack of apps.
There is no different with the propriety phone where can sms and received call.

I cant comment about the lagg like crap,this may be pass truth it used to be, but with the
changes of this revolution and momentum improvement ,the issues is getting not that significant.

This is where I emphasis , how the Symbian ,WebOS ,Meego dies.
Soon I guess jolla sailfish OS too.

yes.. stunning battery life on lumia 625 compare to galaxy s2.. built quality is top notch from nokia. if budgets permit, will upgrade to lumia 1520.

good point
