Nokia should release Lumia 525 in all Countries.
Now most people are not buying 520 because they know that 525 is on it's way.. there are almost 6 months that they released it in some countries but all the others are still waiting..
they didn't even made a announcement when it will be available in each country.
major countries that Nokia has more than 15% of the market should have more respect from the company... Italy , Greece and many more are still waiting..

              Anonymous, 30 Dec 2013Is all lagdroid phone get update?Not all devices may get official updates, but still we can update them manually with any ROM we like, :P.
              Lagdroid is foolish to say. Lag is more considered to appear on Samsung LagWiz UI's, or any other heavily themed UI on Androids. Android by itself, being stock, doesn't lag. Mkay.

                        If only this phone had a camera light/flash! But then maybe that would make it the Nokia 720. But a louder loud speaker like the N95 would be very nice.

                            I wish this handset had a front facing camera. It would be a great replacement for sister's HD7. I still look at Ebay for a good price on a used 810 or 8X that is tmobile compatible.

                              Pretty much sure the 8.1 is last update for low to mid range wp devices.

HTC should have foreseen this and Microsoft should have never approved it. My sister has it and it sucks. The only nice thing about it is design.

                                After Update 3, its pretty fast, stable and no longer has issues with Other storage, and this will fix with 8.10 when we'll be hopefully able to install apps ON a card.

                                      Your three updates isn't the same as the update features added to the high end devices. The 8.1 update won't be the same as the high end device and most likely, that will be your last update from Microsoft. I don't think 512MB RAM can handle as a 1GB RAM can. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I know, not all Lumia devices has a glance screen and other features added.
