Folks, it is interesting to read the comments on 520 here. You pay 9999 INR and expecting a 20k + experience and features from this phone? No way. I am using this for the last one month. There is no hanging problem for this lumia pack, since it runs with dual core 1 Ghz processor its pretty fast too.
The phone weighs very light with 125 gm and it is designed in such a way it looks slim with its 9.9 mm width. The back case might look a bit plasticy, but lookwise it gives a classy look for this price range.
The phone has a 233 ppi screen of 4 inch size. it offers a good view of colors on it. The screen surface quality is a bit low compared to other lumias inthe front. Scrolling up and down the start screen is smooth than expected.
The camera offers a decent package with the price range. Still, they could have added a flash unit. It captures good images in the daylight where we have an option to changethe ISO till 400 for low light and also have good exposure values. With the upcoming Amber update nokia promises ISO rate increase till 3000 and more smart camera options. The video capturing quality is good with 720p.
There will be synchronising issues if you are not using a proper micro sim card. Most of us use a punched sim card. Guess a proper micro sim card will rectify the minor sync prob of mail accounts, facebook and bing lock screen update.
Though 520 doesn't support all formats of video playback, it runs video without any lag. BigFix offers online streaming and downloading, but since we have a cardlot and mass storage option we can easily transfer movie files to the lumia via usb.
Nokia Music is one of the highlights of the Lumia series. 80 lakh songs is an awesome collection. But disappointed with the short time free subscription with lumia 520. It's only for 3 months. There is always an option to get a new voucher though.
Coming to applications and games, it is an undeniable fact that google play and Ios have more apps, but for a normal human being apps in windows phone is more than enough. still there is always a dream of getting google services officially to Windows Store.
This phone is worth for 9999 INR. It offers good specs for the price range. For a new smartphone user this is a good start. For super smart phones you need bigger budget and 20 + in your wallet.
Finally, we all should know it is after all a phone, not a computer and you are getting it for such a low price. For those are facing strange troubles, try to explore your phone giving amble time or visit nokia care.

Just bought L520. It's awesome, i didn't encounter any duplication problem about this phone. Android Phone is better for there million apps "IF YOU HAVE A HIGH END PHONE",but WP is good for the new experience.
