I feel it is purposeless like the old 'Stop' button of media player. Go to youtube, saavn etc, the players only have a pause button or a play button but no stop button. Why? Because Stop does nothing. Similarly close does nothing in Windows Phone apps. To resume you can long press back button. To restart you can go to the app via tile/icon. Hope you understand.

    Awesome compromise!!
    I bought this phone as soon as it was launched. Had pre-ordered it on Flipkart, but it was sold out. So cancelled the order and ordered using ebay. Got Rs. 1000 cheaper that Flipkart.

    About the phone -
    1. Nokia has given us an amazingly compromised phone where none of the compromise is a deal breaker
    2. Screen is 4 inch, not ClearBlack but sharp enough, feels good
    3. Music player does not have equalizer, but played good music
    4. Camera has no flash, but takes decent photos

    But a few things are great about this phone -
    1. Fast, funky UI. After using Android for years this is AWESOME!
    2. Amazing integration with Outlook mails, calender, Lync. Perfect for business users
    3. Really fast GPS, decent maps (not detailed as GMAP) but available offline (awesome)
    4. Excellent build quality

    What's bad - BATTERY SUCKS!
    1. If you are in to too much gaming STAY AWAY - it heats up while gaming, battery is crap, 4-5 hours max if used heavily
    2. If you are an audiophile STAY AWAY - battery sucks, music quality is good to average
    3. If you travel a lot STAY AWAY to buy back-up battery

    What's the best part - after discount I got it at Rs.9200/-
    Is it value for money - Hell yes!

        AnonD-146799, 27 May 2013Question is why do you want to close it at all? It wont run... moreIt is not the question of whether it is running in background or not.If we want to come out of the application we need to close the application by doing continous backward click or closing by tab or some other method suggested by our friends here not directly by a single click by providing one cross or as new feature provided by uc browser such as double click the back arrow

          JinYiWei, 27 May 2013no,,,I mean can we share internet with other device by L520... moreit has portable wifi hotspot feature. You can share internet with other devices in range. IF you move the phone, it will be in another range. Then other nearby devices can connect.

                Does the black coloured user interface look brilliant on the 520? I mean it looks phenomenal on devices having clear black. But 520 lacks it. So is 520 that good in producing black colour? Please answer. I don't want a phone with a washed out greyish display.

But i heard l620 doesn't any future update (i don't know how fare its true). So i thought l520 or l720 would be better. And moreover i hardly use my mobile for playing games. So i believe l820 is not my kind of phone.

                                        I have bought the phone and everything is smooth. The apps run flawlessly but a lot of interesting games require purchasing.I hope Microsoft will improve on that PDF reader and include(just hoping, as it is quite impossible) a file manager soon.
