Nokia lumia : a substandard product with poor service and workmanship
I wish to share my extremely disheartening experiences of purchase of poor and substandard Nokia Lumia 520 product and its extremely poor service backup. I have purchased this model of Nokia set on 12 Apr 2013 from Nokia show room in Shipra mall in Ghaziabad( U.P.). The set looked very attractive but started giving problems from the day one and now I am cursing myself for purchasing this bogus product. I want to share the story of my agony with all the consumers who are planning or have in their slightest / wildest imagination some plan to purchase this product.
My Agony
(a) The set screen was getting blank time and again. I thought that battery may be getting loose. I tried to open the back panel but it was a difficult task as no slot for opening was available. Somehow I opened it and re-positioned the battery. The set worked for some time and then again the problem occurred.
(b) Opening of back panel is a herculean task and since the problem was persisting I tried to open it and in the event landed up in damaging the screen. I immediately rushed to nearest Nokia care centre in Kota (where I was for some personal work) on 15Apr 2013. They sympathized with me and charged me with 2500/ bucks with a smile. I paid the amount in the hope that they will be able to rectify the defect and replace the screen.
(c) My real agony began when they handed over the set to me on 19th Apr 2013, with another set of problems without rectifying the original ones. The set used to go blank just after dialing any number. Moreover the original problem of loose battery persisted. I again went to the care centre and handed over the set to them.
(d) The care centre could not rectify the defect in the stipulated time and asked for more time as the set has a defective sensor which was not available. I remained patient and agreed as I was still a believer. After repeated broken promises of delivery date they told me to collect the rectified set on 02 May 2013. However to my utter surprise they told me that they have not been able to rectify the defect. I returned the set to them and lost all hopes and patience. The defective set is lying with Kota Nokia care centre and I am sure the defect is beyond repair.
Lesson learnt and advice to all prospective buyers
I have committed a blunder of purchasing a new product which was nor proven with consumers. I advice you all not ever go for purchase of Nokia lumia 520 cell-phone.
What I want from Nokia
I have waited patiently for twenty days and the Nokia service centre has played with my patience to their entire advantage. I have asked them to replace this set with new one which they have bluntly refused and have not promised to rectify the defect either. I simply want this set to be replaced with new one as they can keep on experimenting with reapirs of the defective set.
Options before me
To approach consumer forum for reddressal of my grievances.

nischal, 01 May 2013can any one tell me what is mean about 7gb skydrive...?Look, skydrive is a cloud storage where you can store, create back up of your files. It is just a sofyware, and with this phone you get free storage of 7 GB on Skydrive. To use skydrive you'll need a Microsoft Account, I mean, that can be someone@live.com, someone@outlook.com, whatever it is. You can get upto 25 GB storage over SkyDrive by paying some money. I don't know the exact amount of money. Hope this helps.
Cheers;

i rate this phone INC incomplete OS,, we cant pause when taking a video,, no orientation lock,, no screen capture,,,, this is all OPERATING SYSTEMS FAULT... probably,, the os programmer is low knowledge,, and he can't be fired because he is low salary,,
Nex time,, test the phone before you buy,,
Try WP 8 if ders screen capture,, orientation lock,, pause option,, maybe it doesn't exist in WINDOWS PHONE...

taeyang, 26 Apr 2013y! all people r saying bad thing about lumia510, its a nic... moreMan, haters gonna hate! I personally own a Lumia 510, and a Galaxy S Duos. Though S has a 1 GHz Snapdragon S1 it is a little bit laggy, Although 510 has 800 MHz processor and the same SoC; it is way more faster and smoother than my S Duos! I love my 510.
