Hey,

No man. none bought yet. She is willing to try my old Nokia E72 and currently using that. She is getting along well. Will see how it goes for next couple of days.

Which phone to buy between this and this?

Not a very hardcore user.
Not a gamer.
Just facebook and gmail and goodreads and other such light apps.
So I thought I could afford to giveaway a bit of processing power for some sexy looks!

Hello all! I have a small query. My brother has to purchase a phone within ₹10,000 range and has zeroed on Nokia Lumia 520. Any other phone isn't being considered as we wanted a change from Android and iOS smartphones (already have an iPhone 4 and 5, Samsung Note and Note 2, Galaxy Grand and S-Duos). Blackberry isn't being considered due to it's low resale value and moreover, had a bad experience with Blackberry (owned a BB Curve then). What do you guys feel about it? Is it a good phone and worth it's list price? Please reply ASAP as we have to purchase phone today.

Thanks,
Keep revvin'

I am on reliance 3g, but I have android so, don't need to keep or save settings. It starts working itself.

Try calling *333, see its of any help.

Even I have an Android phone but you would need to save settings the 1st time right? I doubt it should start working automatically. Will try calling that number.

No, I didn't entered any setting or something, it's working like this only.

Ok so I got the internet working. One more question - When I am using internet, I get the E sign on the notification bar. As far as I know, E stands for 2G. Do you get something else for 3G? Or do you also get 'E' while using 3G?

In my android, go to settings -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode -> change from GSM to "Auto GSM/WCDMA". This will go to 3G & give you H in place of E, if 3G is available.

No, I get h. The post preceding mine explains, why you see the e instead of h.

That should be the default for most Android phones. Another issue is, 3G does not work at quite a few places in Mumbai. Have observed this at 5-6 buildings that are sea-facing. Such places has dead spots for 3G and only GPRS works.

Note: it is an intel based phone.

Thats really a awesome looking phone.

The features offered, mainly the camera and processing power looks great.
I ordered one today from flipkart at 23.3K; looks to a be a very good deal considering it was launched for 32K in June13

Hope you have tried holding the phone in your hands.

Its a good phone but farily large to be held in a hand unless you hav big hands , also its quiet slippery.
