                  windows phone 8 is Exquisite! and that too at 10K is simply awesome deal .
                  First of all, thanks to flipkart for its up to the mark and quick, as usual, service. You may get this phone at lower price at other stores but at flipkart you are assured of the authenticity(seal not broken).
                  Coming to the phone , WP8 is way better than the androids. The number of apps may seem less but if you think of usable and required apps, windows' store has an upperhand. and come on it's Windows. It hates piracy. So you are assured of your apps being safe to download and use.
                  Some pros -
                  1) I liked the tile structure. It's different and easy to use.
                  2) 1 GHz processor is fast with no lags.
                  3) Multitasking is easy and quite handy in WP8.
                  4) Heating problem is temporary only. I did experience it in the starting. but after using it for 2-3 days, now I don't face heating problem. Marginal heating can't be ruled out for smart phones of this much calibre.
                  5) camera quality is good.
                  6) Sound quality is good but not the best.
                  7) Battery is sufficient to use the phone at full efficiency for a day, which the androids can't.
                  8) Office 365 is very simple to use and have great features.
                  9) Here maps is great feature. though it is little short of google maps, I'm sure it will evolve. The thing is you can use it offline. no need for internet connectivity.
                  10) Build quality is elegant.
                  11) Plenty of games available in store. many of them are free.
                  12) Touch is very good. while using the phone you feel the elegancy.
                  some cons -
                  1) earphones quality is cheap. earphones of Nokia 3230 which is now seven years old, is still way better than what i got with 520.

                    Nokia Lumia 520
                    Phone is excellent. Very Fast. All necessary Apps are available.. People buying this phone should make sure to have the options available to Cut there existing SIM to a micro SIM. Else will regret buying this phone....

                      lumia series - A great Re -Entry for Nokia to Lead Smart phone market
                      lumia 520 is the best (with in 10k ) when compared to samsung young and sony xperia E dual of same range mobiles.

                      HTC A620E 8S windows mobile with similar features (replica in every thing) is cost about 18k costlier than lumia 520

                      windows 8 mobile is very user friendly and quick to understand .

                      just in short and sweet it's an Excellent mobile with lesser price ............

                        Awesome rhe one word to define
                        i have bought this product, before i was using samsung s duos, iam not so rich , s duos was android 4.0 ics, i had a lot of issues with that, it hanged while using 3g, and the battery was a big concern, after using lumia 2 days iam very much happy with it, it will not be easy for android users, but windows always user friendly, u can quickly learn.

                          KRC

                          A surprise package
                          I have been sceptical of buying a Windows phone for long and always a dedicated Android follower. Moreover, I needed something really intuitive and simple to use for my father who is an ardent Nokia fan. Decided to try out Lumia 520 after reading the reviews here. I have to say, I am much impressed. My father finds the phone very simple and straight-forward to use, even as compared to the older Symbian Nokia models (except for initial teething problems of course)
                          The interface is clean, the phone does not lag, and the display is crystal clear. Above all, sound level is loud enough, and yet the phone is light and small to carry around. It's a pleasant change from the menu-based structure of most other phones. So much so, I am leaning towards changing over to a Windows phone for myself too!! Above all, when I compared 520 with its more expensive counterparts, I found this one to be feature-rich and worth its value in money.

                            Kannan

                            The most beautiful handset below 10K
                            After a week of reading reviews in different websites and looking at specs finally decided to go for Lumia 520 and after 4 days of using it, i dont regret my decision. If your budget is 10K, then this is the most beautiful and innovative phone u could get. The metro UI with its live tiles is refreshing and smooth. The performance is great. Remember its got only 512MB RAM but what ever can be installed in the phone, it handles well. Camera is not good in low light (no flash) but is pretty good outdoors in good light. The question many have is windows vs android. well as everyone says apps for windows 8 is not as developed as android. But i found to my surprise that there are quite a range of free apps in the windows app store that helps u get over it (there are parallel apps in windows for most of the basic apps and games in android). Most paid apps and games also have trial versions. Anyways, in a below 10K phone you anyway cant play the biggest games even in android. so it doesnt matter. If you are not a high end games freak and okay without flash and front cam, then just go for it! Rating it 4 star because of its lack of FM and flash.

                              Nokia lumia 520 is baap
                              I was a little dicey to go for a windows phone as it was my first smartphone. All my friends are on android. However i can say one things is that this phone is awesome. turned a lot of heads where ever i went

                              Super smooth interface
                              very good screen
                              camera is good in daylight
                              light weight

                              the only cons on this phone are

                              the cam does not have flash
                              no front facing camera

                              i don't think any phone comes close to Lumia 520 in this price range. Thumbs up to nokia

                                all those complaining about the phone not having FM radio , Nokia support has confirmed that fm will be enabled on the 520 with the GDR2 update..

                                  BEST Phone at CHEAPEST price
                                  Great phone...
                                  I purchased it on the day of launch only..

                                  I was afraid whether it will up to the mark or not.
                                  But its the Best phone one can have at this price.
                                  I compared quality of camera of Nokia 520(5 MP) with samsung grand (8 MP). ANd believe me, the quality of 520 was better.

                                  At this price, you can't have anything better.
