                      Why do you compare great Nokia phones that have the best quality with a Chinese crappy gadget like this..

                      Nokia's brand name is enough to buy it and without thinking in the specs that are also Nokia has a superiority on it.

                        Although they are very similar specwise, i wouldn't buy Huawei for more than one tenth of Nokia's price. Don't care if someone considers me prejudging.

                              ObserverPh, 21 Jan 2013Hahahaha. .ROLF. . Everybody here knows that you don't own ... moreGreat phone for the price.. But should not forget that it a chinese phone sold in china . So cost will increase when outside china.
                              This person @Yuuup , i've seen a lot of times whenever wherever a news or phone related to windows os , i find him commenting and trolling over the products.. So we should banish such trollers from the site to keep sure opinions.. But still i find it really amazing how "rich" he is ! In one news he owned lumia 920 the next day news.. He was the proud owner of galaxy note 2.. Then suddenly he got a iphone 4 and today a lumia 820 ? !! I just wish he would give some money to stupid people like us who are "unworthy" of using android phones would atleast buy great specd reasonably priced "stupid-boring" windows phones while he waits charmingly by pressing unlock button on his screen in the mean time we people upload gbs of videos from our "lagging" windows phone praising his kindness before his phone is unlocked ! ;-)
                              so my humble suggestion is if you are stupid normal people them buy any phone with any os according to your taste or buy only great androids if you are the abnormal great "intelligent" person like @yuuup !
