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...

I think Nokia was right to go with MS. At the moment there are too many Android look a likes and even Samsung tries to flood the market with a massive range but nothing really exciting. The current major manufactures like Samsung, LG, HTC will suffer at the hands of Chinese Android devices which are taking a major market share. In addition there is continuing concern with Android security in business, Government and delicate operations. Some Android device hardware is excellent, however the easy to use Android OS will bite industry on the arse, as will Google spyware. We need Windows and we need Blackberry to be robust in the market place and for good reason, not just geek speak, and game nuts.

      I wish body thickness comparison vs other phones and all wouldn't have disappeared form the reviews.

        I am using the 930 since some weeks and it has been great, no complains about the phone. Batterylife could have been better but it's not that to complain about it. Everything else is just amazingly well.

                            G*, 28 Jul 2014Nokia should make a phone like this run Android, the Nokia ... moreI used to think dat android users comments aboutt how great the os is , was credible . I use a note 2 running kit kat . Coming from a very fluid lumia 920 , the experince on the note 2 has been very frustrating. I thought u guys said jelly bean removed all lag from d os . Yet to be seen . I get lag all d time . 80% of the games cause the screen to freeze . Never had dat on my 920 . Thank God the note 2 was a gift . It would have been so annoying .

                                  Solid effort indeed this Nokia 930 and I aren't a MS fan.Yes the OS and IE updates finally get it to that alpha level.
                                  I still think this phone is on the conservative side and doesn't have the image of other smartphones.

                                  It is still a Nokia phone even with the MS OS.And No it still would beat the Android kings out there on sales.
