        For 10 more EUR one can get Lumia 930 on Amazon so I expect the price to drop fast.

          SunilShetty, 08 Sep 2014Even windows phone fan will never buy this :)yes i couldn't agree more. I am a big fan of Lumia, and knowing the price is almost twice the Moto G, i have no reason to buy it. if it's priced around the price of Moto G, I believe it will be sold like hot cakes tho

              WP8.1 is amazing. Android 4.4 is a bit stale now, and it's been years since any real improvements have been added. The Lumia 830 will run circles around the MotoG for years to come.

                i was so looking forward to this being my first windows phone after the now ancient htc touch. totally disappointed with the price. it would have done good at $250

                  SabbyJ, 08 Sep 2014Seriously? Comparing this beauty with the Moto G 2? The w... moreDont you know what site yo are reading? Chipset and benchmark is king here, if you dont care much about those things you are in the wrong place. Same chipset = same phone.

                  By the way, the performance obsession around here is a remnant from the old days, like 2011 and earlier, when performance was a real problem for smartphones, hopefully they will soon realize that those days are long gone. Just wait a few days and watch how the Xperia Z3 will have its chipset listed as a disadvantage like this: "Cons: Chipset is not Snapdragon 805".

                      I don't think Microsoft knows that with $430 one could buy a one plus one for $250 which is not midrange device or a lg g2 and remain with some cash. No one should buy this

                        AnonD-10927, 08 Sep 2014If you people want a phone as cheap and has '8 mp' snapper,... more730 will go around 17-20k....
                        720 still cost 17k, just because of its awesome camera....

                          Alan, 08 Sep 2014Haha they will sell 10 of these between October and Decembe... moreI agree if this continue, Windows Phone will have less and less marketshare.
                          But I don't want WP to die (even I'm Android user), competition is good for consumer.

                          IMHO, WP is good. But good is not enough. Competitor (iOS & Android) are doing it better and better. Microsoft has to do something or they will lose quickly.

                            If you people want a phone as cheap and has '8 mp' snapper, front cam, snapdragon 400, 720p screen, thinness and all, go for a xolo windows phone, or micromax. they are even cheaper than your bs moto g. a phone without even a proper service system in india. if you're after build quality, looks and that amazing 10 mp camera with OIS, which is miles ahead of anything in that price range. go for this 830. otherwise even a 730 with 6.7mp f/1.9 camera and 5 mp front camera can suffice. in my opinion, 730 is the real moto g competitor. it will most probably be priced at or around 15K.

                              Seriously? Comparing this beauty with the Moto G 2?
                              The writer must be grounded in reality.

                                too big screen and price. Nowdays every company sells just low end devices with "small" screen (4,3 - 4,7"). I'm WP user but I'm thinking to buy new I phone because WP don't have decent device with 4,5" screen...

                                    I'm not paying that much for this phone. Maybe I'll go with 530 or 625.

                                      Come on GSMARENA, comments like 'build quality and camera aside' is like saying she is a beautiful woman apart from her face.
