Nokia Lumia 930 review: Iconic once again

28 July 2014
It may be a new house, new rules – but no sharp movements just yet. In the aftermath of Microsoft's recent acquisition of Nokia's devices and services department, it's really anyone's guess what will happen with the Finnish company that was once...

Just one question, Why Nokia Why?? You make exceptional phones but still nobody buys them because they just aren't Android. Why Nokia?

          It is a big disappointment for me ... :(
          WP8.1 is crappy and unstable (at least on my phone);
          you cannot save your data on the computer without a ms account (which I really hate);
          it lacks a lot of features;
          messaging system is horrible (and you won't see emoticons in received sms);
          it wants to use your location almost all the time;
          the only good thing that I can say is that is really fast (when it works :P) and the camera is outstanding
          I'll just go back (sadly) to my old good N9 which is slow, but works perfectly ...
          I'm waiting the day when I'll be able to erase WP from my phone and put meego there :D (or sailfish, or even android ...)

                The wp8.1 is good os but its have a problem like
                1. cannot transfer contacts to contacts one by one
                2.Upon finished transfering you r contacts to wp8.1 the contact you transfered does not appear and you have to search for it where it goes.
                3.Download a 7 movie video in my laptop directly to the sd card but only2 video movies appeared even though it was sucesfully transfered base on my reading on how many Gig of sd card.I tried also transfering to Laptop to phone some HD video movies but it goes to its phone memory and was not possible to be transfered to the sd card memory.Unlike my optimus 4xhd adroid i can directly transfered from contact to contact and video movies to directly gallery content. I just bought my Nokia 1520 last aug 8 and updated this to wp 8.1..will somebody help regarding this problem?Thanks

                    No micro sd, Fail!

                      Using it for some time now and wprks still great. The camera is really good of course not as good as my Lumia 1020 camera but the interface is great to use and make good photos. Also the screen is pretty neat and wireless charging is nice too. Also enough apps from the store.

                          OS is good, screen of the 930 is the real battery killer. Imagine how pathetic battery life would be with the "Glance" feature on. That's why they removed it.

                            Microsoft should optimize WP8.1 OS further for better battery backup. Such dissapointing battery ratings from the flagship Lumia 930 wasn't expected. Come on, stop being lazy and improve your OS ASAP if you want the top spot in the mobile industry.

                                      I got this phone as soon as it launched in U.K..Exceptional phone from Nokia. Very well built, excellent performance, average battery life. Windows Phone 8.1 with Cyan Update. Overall design is very good. Final word : Awesome phone, at least in my opinion.
