Please research before you comment. I can say military grounds restrict civilian entry because they don't like civilians, does that make any sense? Have you used iPhone? For your info, even iPhone does not have file manager, forbids external videos even most music, forbids Bluetooth file transfer and a lot more. Do you say Apple is not adding features?

You are saying let the user manage the phone he/she wants. What if a virus enters system? Will you say let the user clean it up? A phone is not a computer or a storage device, phone contains sensitive information, repairing a phone is not easy.

Why do I need to go through copy, search for location and paste when my phone gives sync option?

And it is a lie that WP does not support background notifications. All kinds of background notifications are supported. Personal videos can also be shared. Put the videos in the correct folder i.e "Pictures"

Please learn to use a phone first.

    Sony Xperia E [VS] Nokia Lumia 520
    Xperia E is certainly a nice phone at this price as evident from the maker 'Sony'.
    But if you are heading to buy this phone at once, then please be calm and think again. Nokia Lumia 520 (of same range) has much more features than this as compared against. Just have a quick look-

      You are stuck in ancient world of files, folders etc. Why do I need to go through copy, search for location and paste when my phone gives sync option?

                        Two different design concepts.
                        1. Microsoft forces you to use the OS as they want. They hide saying behind security and copyright issues for the features they are not able to provide.
                        2. Let the user decide and customize the way he/she wants to use. Managing folder or tasks like this.

                        Is file manager really a crap stuff??? MS not able to solve the issue becoz of security and bla bla .. stuff, and hiding on the name of security.

                        Someone can have free videos. There is no way you can share your free videos. So this very important feature removed.

                        And everyone wants to manage the folder as per their choice. The phone simply doesn't give a option to you.

                        These WP8 phones are good only for calls and sms. Not even for WhatsAPP or WeChat. The system put the applications in background(not multitask), so you will not be able to receive notifications. What the hell.

                        Please be really sure if you are opting for windows phone. Better to invest 5-6k more so that you can enjoy the power of phone and not a simple user and forced for your actions by microsoft

                              Many people are arguing about some specifications that N Lumia520 lack. But remember guys you can give the price only for the name "nokia" the best hardware manufacturer in the world of mobiles.But yes little dissoppointed these days as they haven't introuduced a good smartphone in 10k range. And then this came nokia lumia 520 a cracker for 10k range market.well to say i am going to buy it on Tommarrow morning. eagerly waiting for nokia smartphone in my hands.

                                  Lumia 520 users,

                                  My questions:
                                  1. Can we see running applications like in Android?

                                  2. Is this device has Microsoft Office preloaded and editable version?
