Loepoes, 02 Apr 2016After reading all the problems users are having after updat... moreI'm running 10 on my 830 and 8.1 on my 640. While I'm not having any particular issues with 10, I'm not yet convinced that it's such a great advance over 8.1 as a phone OS for daily use. Will probably keep the 640 on 8.1 for the foreseeable future.

    gaurav bigg, 13 May 2016Microsoft Windows smartphone market share continuously decr... moreGood point re Android performance. Had a Galaxy Note 2 for a couple of years. Never mind the wretched bloatware, which WP doesn't suffer from, and which is difficult to get rid of, the performance gradually slowed down over time. Haven't had the same issues with the 830 or 640. Main reason I sold the Note, though, was that I couldn't store my Spotify offline tracks on the card, only on the phone's own memory. No such problems with the Windows phones. WP is a brilliant OS; what a shame the world and its dog are so obsessed with apps - message to Android and IOS users/lovers: get a life!

        I've owned an 830 for about 18 months now. Great phone and I also don't care about the lack of apps - WP has enough "sensible" apps for everyday use. The removable battery and micro sd card are far more worthwhile. Mine is running the Windows 10 insider preview with no issues. These days, though, I use a 640 as my daily driver, mainly because I have a dual sim version, which sadly wasn't available with the 830, and I have need of two sim slots. Camera on the 830 is better than the 640 (which isn't shabby) and of course you get 16Gb internal storage vs 8GB. But at least with WP you can store virtually everything on the card. Bottom line, Ned, I don't think you'll regret buying an 830.

          When i originally wanted this phone it was Expensive and so were its accessories so i waited a while and decided to take the plunge and bought a sim free model brand new from Game it came packed with windows 8.1 then upgraded to windows 10 each time it upgraded it got better and better battery life is excellent and i love the design of this phone with the all metal frame and i switched from an iphone this phone is excellent for my needs with all my music and Brilliant camera storing photos on my 128GB storage card i love this phone so much i bought 2 qi chargers a case and a spare battery because the price had dropped from Expensive too very reasonable , i have this phone for Excactley one year and its never let me down, to sum it up its light , fits well in the hand and the phone is brilliant so far so good and i manage too get nearley two days battery life, In all fairness its Nokia Quality and i love mine and wont change it for Anything. I Just does everything i need o and call quality is excellent.
          Bargain Phone and so much better than Microsft new range of phones.

It is tough (dropped it on hardwood a dozen or more times), battery is great (I rarely see it go below 50% even at heavy daily use), Qi charging is great, put a 32GB SD card for memory, and it is fine. Upgrades to Win10 without issues.

                Prices are down to $200 US ($250 Cdn.) If I had to buy one today... I'd likely look at something with a 1080p display for a few hundred more.

                        Owned a lumia 830 for over a year and half now and loved most moments with my phone. But it's time to shift ... S7 edge / HTC 10 / iPhone 6s are the contenders.

                        Of course I cannot imagine either of them being as intuitive as the windows OS and live tiles is going to be difficult to live without !

                        Great phone, runs today like it did when it was new. But time to move on ...

                            I own a Lumia 830 and i have to say this is another Dud Model, after the Lumia 520s power button issues this one suffers Corrosion on the side and dead pixels in the screen, i sent it back for repair and its happening the second time round.
                            I recommend avoid this model even if you like the windows platform.

                                Switched today to Samsung Galaxy S7 because microphone died on my Lumia 830. I must say Windows 10 Mobile is much better than Android. WP10 looks much more professional. Only issue is lack of applications. In every other aspect Windows 10 Mobile is much better to use. Hard to explain but Android looks like it is made for kids. I already miss my Lumia 830. I hope Windows Phone OS will survive.

                                  Microsoft Windows smartphone market share continuously decreasing.But I am happy with my Lumia 640 XL it's almost one year old and yesterday I got new OS build 328 & till date I got 6 update in a year and Redstone update on it's way.Still preforming brilliantly I haven't found any reason to switch over for other options.Believe me fiends it still running with a charm not even a single issue I ever found in my Lumia 640 XL Smartphone.One point I would like to mention here Android phone hardly give such types of performance after one year.

                                      KK, 26 Mar 2016Could anyone tell me how to get Snap Chat on their phone?There is no official Snapchat app for Windows Phone, andthe unofficial ones keep getting removed from the market.

                                      The reason for this is that the founder of Snapchat hates Microsoft.

                                      There is a paid Snapchat client available at the moment called Specter but this will also probably be removed from the marketplace.
