Nokia A00008995 Lumia 820 Handset Windows Phone - Black

The phone is brilliant - clear screen, superb camera and excellent software. In particular, the Satnav app is better than anything else I've tried. It's a hefty piece of phone, and the case back is a little slippery, so it will take getting used to. In all other respects, the phone is superb. BUT - I ordered it a week ago, at £237, and already it's dropped to £199. Either play roulette with the prices, or bite the bullet and put up with price fluctuations! I'd be prepared to accept a fluctuation of a few pounds, but £38 is hard to stomach! UPDATE: I've been using the phone for a bit now, and I'm getting to know what it can do. I had a N97 Mini until the phone stopped holding a charge, and the difference from the creaky Symbian OS is considerable! Many people complain about the lack of "apps" for the WP8. I have to say that there isn't anything that I could have on an iPhone that I can't have on the Lumia, and several of the Nokia exclusives are brilliant, and there isn't an equivalent on the other platforms! Cinemagraph is great fun (adds little animated sections to a photo - the pictures are a bit like the ones in the Daily Prophet, with little sections of movement!), and the Nokia Satnav is the best I've tried. I've added my usuals, including Evernote, FB and Twitter and so on. The Camera is excellent, and the apps that support it (especially Smart Shoot) are brilliant. The screen is very clear and the colours are vivid. I haven't printed a photo to compare it with my Oly DSLR... but they look great on my laptop. The photos automatically back up to my Skydrive when I get to a wifi connection. Battery life is much better than I have been used to. After a day's moderate use (including the phone automatically checking my emails every 15 minutes), there is still some charge to go. The constant movement on the homescreen is fascinating, and careful arranging of the tiles makes the phone seem alive. It is quite mesmerising! Nothing is laggy or slow, and the OS is very simple to understand and use. I can't understand why the reviews are so against WP8. So- only one problem so far, and that is that none of my Nokia car mounts fit! The only official car mount for the 820 is the wireless charging one for £60.

A day or so after delivery the camera stopped working, I was unable to take stills or video. I did a battery pull soft reset and the camera started working again. Now, after entering a load of data and other details into the phone, the camera button stopped working again, and this time, soft reset does not rectify the situation. I say the camera button, because a downloaded app called 1shot allows taking a photo by tapping the screen, and this works. However, it is still not possible to take videos. there is too much personal stuff in the phone for a hard reset, and it appears other owners who experienced the same camera fault failed to rectify it by a hard reset. As a smart phone the device seems all it claims, but as the camera is a significant part of the selling point of mobile phones, the repeated camera failures is not good enough, so it only gets three stars.

I'm new to modern smartphones, although I did have one of the old school windows phones with the slide out keyboard many moons ago. I dislike Apple's business model and prices, so it was a toss up between this and a similar spec Android phone, probably a Samsung or HTC, and I went for this mainly because most of my other kit is some flavour of Windows and I figured it might just be less hassle. Plus I don't really give a monkey's about apps provided I can access some basics (maps, iPlayer, Skype, FB etc.) and use the phone as a portable music player. The phone itself is lovely, a bit weighty but a good, well built feel to it. Touchscreen is responsive but not overly so for someone ham-fisted like me. Set up and connectivity with a PAYG sim was straightforward and sync'ing my music on pc via folders and ITunes was easy. Likewise contacts from my old dumb Nokia and from Outlook were a doddle to transfer. The back of the phone is a pain in the **** to get off though in order to fit the sim card and micro-sd (def needed), there's a real knack to it but fortunately some poor MS lackey has put a helpful video up on YouTube and once you get that, and carefully repeat the actions, it kinda stops being the massive headache you may first experience. All in all, a very decent phone for the price with generally good connectivity and more than enough functional capability for my usage.

Le téléphone reste figé , obligé d'enlever la batterie pour continuer à l'utiliser , demande de remplacement effectuée . Le problème vient de Windows 8.0 , l'idéal est de le passer en version 8.1 et de migrer vers windows 10. Mais ce problème est connu chez microsoft .... et pas de solution à ce jour ....

Estoy muy contento con el movil. Pero tengo un duda sobre la garantia: Es el papel que se envio con el movil?

recommend excellent team is excellent

On Monday, July 7, 2014, I received the phone NOKIA LUMIA 820, you put the sim card and use it normally, after a while it felt hot, on Tuesday night the battery was discharged and proceeded to load it, it worked normally but the returned two hours to heat up and after a while I turn off completely, I decided to reload and battery was completely empty, once loaded normally worked until Thursday morning and again trailed off as he would not turn over. Importantly, the use I gave during that time is very short
