The Best Alternative to Iphone 5 has been discovered at last-Lumia 925
My long search for the best alternative to Iphone for a cheaper price ended a few weeks ago when i discovered the Nokia Lumia 925 on GSMCURVE.COM and bought it.WOOW,an amazing investment .The Nokia Lumia 925 is even better as it has some of the advanced features which Apple is planning to add this feature in its next Iphone.Here is my honest review of the Lumia 925 showing you that owning a Lumia 925 is even better of than Iphone 5 and you wont have anything to loose but have better specs for a much much cheaper price.Iam going to outline why Lumia 925 is better
Network
-Both have 2G,3G,4GLTE with the same frequency bands except that the Lumia 925 does not support CDMA
DISPLAY
*Both have capacitative screens
*The Lumia 925 is far much better than Iphone.Lumia 925 has 768*1280 pixels whilst Iphone 5 has 640*1136 pixels
*screen size of Lumia is better as it is 4.5 Inch whislt that one of Iphone 5 is only 4 inch.It would be advisable to have a phone with bigger screen if you are more into typing documents and reading e-books
*Screen protection of Lumia 925 is better if not far much better than that of Iphone 5 as Lumia has Corning Gorilla glass 2 whilst Iphone 5 has only Gorilla glass
*The Lumia 925 has got a charming feature called Puremotion HD+Clearblack display which makes it a breeze when using the phone for functions which require excellent screen view.Unfortunately the Iphone 5 does not have it at all, maybe Apple might add this feature to some of its future models.So it is better to experience what Apple users are going to experience in some years to come now
Sound
*With Lumia 925 you can use your favourite MP3 songs as ringing tones whist with Iphone 5 you only use Proprietary ringing tones(those which come with the phone)
*Sound quality is one of the best out there if not the best so far.Lumia 925 has got a special feature called Dolby headphone sound enhancement which makes even boring music to sound so melodious and beautiful.Unfortunately the Iphone 5 does not have this feature now
Online cloud Data storage
*Limia 925 gives you an opportunity to store up to 7GB free with the Skydrive storage Unfortunately the Iphone 5 does not have this feature for free,actually you have to part with a fortune to have this service with Iphone 5
Battery Life
This is the most interesting part.
*Lumia 925 has got a powerful battery of 2000MAH whilst Iphone 5 has a battery capapcity of only 1440MAH
*Battery Standby for Lumia 925 is up to 440hrs whilst that of Iphone 5 is only up to225hrs
*Talk time for Lumia on 2G network is whooping 18hrs 20minutes and unfortunately the Iphone 5 on 2G networks has a talk time of 8hrs only
*Talk time on 3G for Lumia 925 is 12hrs whilst talk time for Iphone 5 on 3G is only 8hrs
CAMERA
*On face value the Lumia 925 and Iphone 5 Camera might seem to be the same for most people because both have 8mp autofocus cameras and same resolution but that is not the truth at all
*The Lumia 925 has a special feature called Dual Led Flash which the Iphone 5 might include in its future Iphones.The DUAL LED FLASH feature with Lumia 925 is there to produce a brighter flash and hence outstanding picture quality which is far much better than the iphone 5
*Lumia 925 has got a special feature called Optical Image Stabiliser which enables the capturing of outstanding picture and video quality which is far much better than the Iphone 5 which does not have this feature
*For those who are more into video conferencing and Skype video calls,the Lumia 925 is better as it has a 1.3mp front camera whilst the Iphone 5 only has 1.2mp camera
Processing speed
*The Lumia 925 has got a much better processing speed than the Iphone 5.Lumia 925 has got 1.5ghz whilst Iphone 5 has only 1.3GHZ
Entertainment
*Thats one of the most important reason why i wont buy an Iphone 5.The Lumia 925 has got Fm radio whilst the Iphone 5 does not have this feature at all.Coupled with the fact that Iphone 5 does not have the Dolby Headphone Sound Enhancement, that gives me every reason to be proud that i own a Lumia 925
Price
Thats the most important reason why i finally settled for this
*Iphone 5 16gb unlocked price is around $540 for the cheapest whislt the Lumia 925 is only $364 for the cheapest

Hi frnds,pls someone help me plssss, I am now using nokia Lumia 620. Now I am tired of its overheating and battery draining problems. I was waiting for Lumia black update and got tired too. So I have decided to switch to LUMIA 925. All I need is ur help and guidance. I am mainly switching because of battery draining problems and over heating problem. So pls guide me , can I buy this phone. Does this phone have battery draining and over heating problem? I use 4 hours for internet,4 hours for games , 50 to 100 messages per day and just few calls 2 hours for offline videos and songs. For this type of usage I had to charge my Lumia 620 for three times a day. Can NOKIA LUMIA 925 cope-up for this amount of usage? If I make such kind of usage how many times per day I have to charge this phone? Pls tell me whether LUMIA 925 has abnormal, over heating issue like Lumia 620? Pls explain me clearly about it plsssssssssss I am waiting for it pls give me a clear and detail nature about the battery status and hardware status of this mobile pls. I am waiting pls telll.

I've used Nokia mobiles for a long time. While Windows have brought good things to the overall experience of the devices. We still miss the things we could do with the last symbians. They were more surprising in doing things other mobiles couldn't. Even Simple things like tv-out or the easy tethering meant that Nokia has all their costumers in mind, not just the wireless kind. Now other manufacturers are adding those to their devices and we miss them in ours.
