Had Lumia900 before and here are couple of concerns whether to upgrade or not. Dealership couldnt give the answers so here i am.
930 vs 900 features the latter is missing
1. Any notification led to indicate a missed call, text w/o activating screen?
2. Option to set different volume levels on alarm, media, call?
3. Scroll bar next to list of contacts (say you have 800 contacts to swipe through is weird the least)?
4. Keep skype, fb messenger active and receive messages when you switch off the screen or surf in other apps?
Thank you in advance!

Changes since this was written include the fact that now with Lumia Denim, there is indeed 4k recording on the phone and it's done very well indeed.

Had 930 for a week. Love the phone. Nothing wrong. Only thing is the battery life. After consideration, deleted all the apps that can be 'uninstalled'. Only keep 6 tiles. Battery life amazingly boosted. So those MSN apps are the culprits.

The 930 is a great phone I like it but there is 2 major issues that the phone has The phone gets really hot even with light use and also has a battery drain problem I am yet to find a solution and theses problems only appear on a % of devices and I had 3 replacement phone and the same problems occur

After 2 years of close relationship with Lumia 920 I switched to 930. The only reason was a 60% off deal. The biggest improvements over the older type are: Camera, speed, responsivenes, screen, battery, weight. Super happy with the Denim upgrade, the thing is perfect for my needs. Same as the 920, 930 copes with a lot of misuse too... damp, cold, wet, dusty, drops... With a help of otterbox case, it is close to indestructable. I always carry it in a pocket, when I climb, ski, mountain bike or whatever. Screen works with gloves on, sun readability is great and navigational apps are super useful. Just a tad of comparison. A friend just recently purchased the Sony Z1 compact. Although it is good, I wouldn't change my 930 for it.

Tito, 29 Jul 2014What a bad front facing camera! 1.2 720p! Poor battery! yeh front facing camera was a bit cheaply but noting else on the phone is and well you'll have to actually use one before you comment cause the battery is very good when compared to all the iphones up to and including the 5s, there's nothing wrong with battery.

Stephen , 16 Sep 2014Agree it's a great phone as Nokia's are usually simply grea... moreyeh I got the 830 for my mother she lovesit. its also a great phone, its same design but finner and lighter which she prefers, I don't cause when using it on table it moves and my 930 doesn't. The 830 has glance and also a sd so it beats the 930 here but it doesn't have the brilliant 930 screen, though it has got a good screen. The other thing is its not quite as smooth, when I say not as smooth its still one of the smoothest phones you can get but the snapdragon 800 in 930 you can feel the diference if your looking for it. To be fair if the phone had the 930 screen and it kept glance id be soso happy. Either way the 830 is a decent phone its 1 stop less than 930 but worthy buy. PS I swear the speaker for playing music are so much beter than my 930.

My 930 sees 13 hours easily with some gaming you tube vid and texting phone ect. 2 days easy on normal use. Intensive I get 7-8 hours of hd video watching and very close to the game in gaming, I never had that from another flagship phone. Also ive watched about 24-40 reviews on my 930 nokia and while you can find a handful of people saying bad battery, the rest say its good. Defiantly worth a retest. cause I love the battery life on my 930 nokia. Maybe firmware difference or something?

Using this phone for some time now really nice device it's an allrounder good camera and screen no glance but that's not too bad cause double tap to wake.
Wireless charging is nice.
Camera is awesome.
New WP updates are nice.
Loudspeaker could have been better if it was placed like the Lumia 1020.
Overall: GREAT phone. Want same experience but cheaper? Lumia 830. Want the flagship? Lumia 930.
Anybody know when Denim will start seeding to the phones?
