            3G speed of Lumia 520 is smooth but GPRS 2G speed is too slow.

              Ha Ha ha....
              It,s only a minor thing, but user replaceable battery facility on Lumia 520 has beaten Lumia 720 market demands to the ground level.

                Here is the answer for why Windows phone 8 OS is faster than Android... No magical power of C# as someone says... Simply Windows phone 8 OS lacks Active Multitasking...

                Windows Phone's multitasking is slow, despite the powerful nature of the Snapdragon S4 processors that power most devices, due to the "Resuming..." or "Loading..." screens that often pop up when switching back to a previously used app.

                Windows Phone has a number of states that an application can be in: Active, which is when an app is in the foreground; Deactivated, which is a background app that hasn't been killed and remains in the memory; and Tombstoned, which is a deactivated app that's no longer in the memory. Both Deactivated and Tombstoned apps appear in the multitasking list, and there's no way to visually distinguish between the two.

                Apps also have a number of events that developers can use to trigger certain actions, including Launching (an app is loaded from scratch) and Activated (where either a Deactivated or Tombstoned app is activated). When you're launching an app for the first time, developers often have code run during the Launching event that delays the app from being fully loaded, although often a splash screen is shown and time-consuming actions aren't run.

                Where the perception of slow multitasking comes from is from the Activated event. Developers don't check whether the app is Deactivated or Tombstoned when the Activated event occurs and so often make time consuming code run during the event, despite the fact that a Deactivated app can is resumed almost instantly with basically all functions intact, while a Tombstoned app takes a little longer and may require code to be run.

                The perception of multitasking being slow comes from the apps being slow, and running unnecessary code when a Deactivated app is Activated. If developers coded a simple check into their apps when an app is Activated, a large portion of "Resuming..." screens would be prevented as extra code wouldn't be run as an app relaunches.

                        Bought lumia 520.positive thing is windows is very smooth. Fast browsing and no lag.

                        Only prob back of phone gets warm after 15 min of web surfing. And. Cools down as soon as 3g is off. Is it normal. Does not happen in my galaxy note.why this in Nokia

                          Only the thing which makes windows faster than android is the difference of active multitasking... Windows dont have active multitasking so it is fast...if microsoft gives multitasking option then lumia phones will also lag with less ram as there will be apps using it in background...android is fast and fluidic...only problem is multitasking...so dont praise windows for its fast performance...the thing they adopted for fast performance is making then out of the scene...facilities will roll out after update...but there dates of updates are out of reach...so people...dont but any lumia if you want to troll here...it has its own benefits but they are only countable on fingers....
