Windows Phone can use Here maps. Only need data to download the maps (about 200MB for Malaysia). After that use offline.

yes you can use GPS on this phone: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/phone/l...specifications/

instead of Waze, you can use Microsoft's built in Bing Maps or Here Maps/Drive. They are a much better map app than Google Maps or Waze.

Since waze was taken over by Google, that stop the support for windows phone

Yup, really kiasu attitude, hope they bring back waze with windows 10 mobile, or someone find a way to sideload it perfectly

Sometimes i'm forced to use my ancient Waze because some locations cannot find on Here drive.

Edit: Just found out I can search a location on Here Maps and from there navigate with Here Drive! Pretty much solved my problem with not finding locations!

How is the experience so far?

I'm currently looking for a cheap Windows Phone as my 3rd phone and as of now I have 430, 532 and 535 in mind but I heard that 535 has problem with the touchscreen.

So far I didn't experience any lag. The reason I said no / less lag is that the possibility of getting lag. But I can assure you, even it a low price and not so hi end phone. It still gave you 1GB of ram. Running WhatsApp is almost smooth as you get from other phone.

Actually I'm doing fine with my android phones. Its just that I want to give Windows Phone a try, to see if I like it. For this purpose, I do not plan to invest more for my first Windows Phone since the HP Windows Phone days.

If your target just for calls and messages. Just get your self 430. Like me. The only thing is the screen size. Small.

How bout your 730? Is Win 10 feel heavier?

Yeah a bit... it's not something really noticeable as you use W10M. You notice only when you switch back. To be expected anyway, as 8.1 is mature. 10 is baby learning to walk and talk.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I really hope the heavier bit is because of it's level of maturity and not because it is inherently heavier than the Win 8.1.

Agree with you. But I have yet to do it on Windows Phone. Last time was on Android. Anyway, do share your experience with all of us here. Thank you in advance.

in fact, all those Lumia rated with 128gb SD card have no theoretical limit... you can add a bigger card if you can find and afford it.

just using 430 for few days, got it during lazada rm129 sales.

wp idle mode is as perfect like ios. battery hardly drop 1 even with such small battery...if android without root 1.... i think battery % already drop at east 2 figure.

and yes is smooth as well. vy hang. this is my 3rd like enter wp. first time is htc radar, then lumia 820, then 430.

i install kuwo and download a lot of music...how can i copy out those song to sd card... plug in to pc but i search the music folder is empty inside.

currently is not my main phone, use it at home only become like mp3 player or radio player.

129 to get a smartphone that promise to upgrade to win10.... worth liao la.

oh 1 more question...how to get win10 update now?

to get preview builds:

install Windows Insider app, open it and follow instructions, then check for OS updates.

Did you get the long blank screen when making and after taking a call ?

I'm having that with my 532.

One other thing is that when my phone is lock when using the music player (default groove) and when I unlock the phone and swipe up to 'desktop' the music player crashed.

So far those are my two issues when using win 10 insider.

If you are already updated to the latest using insider preview, no need to update because the released update is the same thing.

This is sometime happens because you have duplicate contacts. Meaning that for one number you have multiple names. Check your contact and make sure one name is assigned to one number.

This is sometime happens because you have duplicate contacts. Meaning that for one number you have multiple names. Check your contact and make sure one name is assigned to one number.

If you save you contact in Outlook (meaning Windows) you can go to people.live.com. Log in and click the manage->clean up contacts. For google contact also has similar service to manage your contact. Just search the internet.
