VoodooChild, 18 Jun 2012Very dissapointing, 1. poor battery life, 2. downloading Zu... moreJust saying, I dunno what's wrong with your device mate.. mine works perfectly fine..
1)For mine, the battery life is superb.. It could last more than 24 hours, even when i put on videos, mp3s or surf the web..
2)For me it doesnt make that much difference.. either you use installation cd or use download zune.. it took me barely minutes to download it and start synchronizing my phone..
3)I dont face any issues with its connectivity.. wifi is good.. mobile network is much better compared to other phones i've used..
4)Compared to androids that i've used, Lumia NEVER hang before and never reboot itself.. have you drop by the service center? perhaps they could provide you the necessary assistance....
5)The UI is great, sleek and fun lol.. The live tile is great..
6)The durability is good.. dropped it few times.. no sweat :)....

I'm writing this comment based on my own experience with this phone.. and also other phones i currently have, galaxy note, galaxy advance and iphone 4s..... each device has its own pro and cons.. Perhaps there could be any internal defect that cause ur device to not to work as it suppose to.. I do have buddies that face almost the same probs as you are.. HOWEVER not only with the lumia but also the new S3.. same issues : drastic battery drain, screen lock-up issues, synchronizing problems... just my 2 cents ;))

Very dissapointing, 1. poor battery life, 2. downloading Zune...come on guys really why don't you just supply software in form of a cd in the box when you buy the phone, 3. stability of Windows Mobile is questionable, 4. connectivity to network (aerial) sucks, 5. the phone have a tendecy to reboot itself for no apparent reason, 6. I am not even going to metion the poor customization capabilities and this phone is most definately not user friendly!
If I could turn back time I would have gotten the Samsung.

Lumia has the option to import all your contacts from your sim card!! And BTW I have multiple email accounts (gmail,hotmail, etc) synchronized on the lumia and they all works just fine... So let's not put the blame on the phone shall we??? LOL dude whenever you download an app you could see the progress in the marketplace!! It even tell you the percentage of the download and even shows the que for pending downloads..!! And it is hillarious how you happened to buy a pricey phone without even, at least "GOOGLE' it???? LOL

I've had this phone for slightly more than 2 months.Overall this is a great phone and I would recommend it to anyone... Easy, fun and sleek user-interface. Works flawlessly and never hang before. Battery life is superb especially after the update.(Well at the moment Im writing this post my phone currently still have 57% battery left, last charge was 19 hours ago. Even after surfing, facebook,youtube etc.). For me Zune is better than iTunes. Live Tiles is really fun lol :P

However there are some issues with the camera. Yes, no doubt it still snaps acceptable quality of photos but it seems like "it doesnt achieve its maximum potential. Video recording is great... BTW for better music experience get yourself Beats headphones lol

Bought this phone a couple of days ago .. After using android for more than two years .. i am still impressed with this phone .. it is fast, draws less battery than android and very good for calls, messaging, basic browsing .. the touch sensitivity is great .. never expected such a phone from Nokia .. great work ..

What is lacking is not many apps as in android and customization is not possible .. since I am not after customization and a million apps, I am very happy with this phone .. love it ..
