Not Complete My Expectations.
As not fast as we see in videos.
Sound quality in headphone brilliant but loudspeaker not so loud.
Setting option/menu copy of Android 4.0(tipo).
Fastlane is not like multi-tasking.
Switch off phone receive copy from lumia.
At least i can say it is a good but not the best in this budject.
New Ui is Mix Of Android+Windows+S40=Nokia Asha Ui 1.0.
Not Happy with This.

First full charge battery update:
After 42 hrs since my first full charge (on 4th July 11 pm) the battery is now 50% using games/calls/wifi and some usual fiddling around the phone.

I just need to charge the asha around once in 2 days, very convenient.

1) Press the hardware back button to return to the home screen.
2) Swipe left or right from the either edges of the screen to return to the home screen.
So to answer your question, yes we can easily return back to the home screen from an app but I am afraid that closes the app as well.
Although I haven`t tested all the apps to check which ones run in the background but till now only the music/radio app run in the background.

About whatsapp and viber it is currently not supported. Although Nokia has said whatsapp will arrive soon on the 501 in couple of months.

Got nokia 501 y'day.. So far my experience has not been great. This is a "feature phone" n may be i expected little more than that. Phone restarts again n again while playing .avi video file of more than 160mb file size, its frustrating..
N browser is also not able to download file whose size is more than 150 mb - Pops up message "file size too large".
And there are no good chat apps available as of now like whatsapp, ebuddy, line etc...
I sold spice mi 425 to buy this but...i m now regretting on my decision. It is just a feature phone, dont expect smartphone capabilities as i did.
Its good for those requiring only basic features like calling, messaging, playing dumb games etc, others stay away !!

AnonD-58875, 06 Jul 2013Good :Screen, battery, touch, loud speaker, light weight, c... moreYou said it correct mate! We can customize the lock screen wallpaper but not the home screen ones. For that we have to stick to the only the preloaded wallpapers provided.
I think the reason why we cannot change the home screen wallpaper is because it kind of moves in the background along with the menu/fast lane when we scroll. But if they would have given the option to put any other image instead of the preloaded ones, they might have tiled itself and it wouldn`t look good. Anyways this is just what I assumed, I may be wrong :)
