I think after personally using the phone Lumia 730 in single sim which is nothing but 735 your battery endurance is gone totaly wrong. The phone which i has my enterprise exchange mail always on on on with 2G connectivity on Whatsapp etc...with very good calling and netusage gives me more than a day and half battery if i continue till battery dies. 59 hrs endurance rating is much lower in real usage. GSM ARENA is wrong here....

But when I started using the 730, it is really nice. I can not whine about it. The on-screen buttons is perfectly located.

                Does the lumia 730/735 have wireless display capability? i.e does it support 'project my screen' feature wirelessly?

                  Mike, 17 Nov 2014As an ex lumia user i will say that i hate the current 2014... moreExactly. Especially Facebook app. Even the Messenger is sub par as compared to the Android/iOS versions. All the animation effects on Windows Phones are time wasting and have no means to reduce the duration or turn them off.

                                    Am using this phone and very satisfied. Compared to those in the same price, this excels them beautifully. I especially love tge design very much and the camera result is good, too. Even compared to that of another 8 MP camera. Good job, and farewell, Nokia. The last phones really go with a bang.
