Nokia announces the Lumia 620 - the most affordable windows phone 8 device yet
73 replies, posted
It's pretty cumbersome imo.
GF has one and you can't do much to it without paying $$ let alone jailbreak it.
Around here its 170€ for the 610, 340 or so for the 800 and a bit over 500 for the 900 I think. Hope the 620 doesn't passes the 200€ mark. Probably wont seeing as its gonna be 250$
My girl also has the cheapest one. Haven't tinkered with it but it looks pretty nice already.
[QUOTE=Arc Nova;38737128]That's not true, are you blind. "Have an opinion that is different than mine? You MUST be shitposting!" Something tells me you're the shit user here, not me.
Elaborate,
they literally all do look the same.

[QUOTE=Arc Nova;38738125]Woah, a hatchback does not look like a pickup truck at all.
Also why are you calling me out to tell you how a phone can be changed? Again, all I said was that they look the same. Don't need you to steal my ideas and patent them![/QUOTE]
You're not gonna sneak your way out of this one.
Lay some evidence or the table already.
Why is it $250? That's a lot for the specs of this phone. I must be missing something.
Edit: ooooooh excluding subsidies.

I won't have this behavior in my courtroom Arc Nova! Now lay some FACT with your opinion! I have no time for this we're on Facepunch for crying out loud!
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;38711423]My lumia 800 is the best phone I've owned, I need to get the proximeter sensor fixed up because my friend pushed into me causing it to drop
It's so frustrating not being able to hang up from calls now[/QUOTE]
I hate those proximity sensors. A guy referred his wife to me because she was looking for an employee for her business, and he gave me her cellphone number. I called her up and got her voicemail. I left my message, told her who I was etc. Job shit. Said "Have a nice day, hope to get in contact with you soon, goodbye" and tried to hang up BUT THE SCREEN WOULDN'T POP UP
I sat there in silence for like 5 minutes then went "UH, SORRY, I CAN'T HANG UP ON YOU. THERE IS NOTHING OF INTEREST IN THE REST OF THIS MESSAGE." then I fumbled like fuck to take my case off, then the back of the phone to remove my battery. I never got a call back.

To be honest, the only time I noticed prox sensors acting up for people, is when they have sweaty sweaty ears and it gets smeared over the prox sensor.

Maybe I should get a smartphone[/QUOTE]
I tried the whole smart phone experience. Now I'm happier off without a cell phone.

Maybe I should get a smartphone[/QUOTE]I only got a smartphone because my last phone was thoroughly fucked, and I found a decent one for cheap.
I honestly don't see the big deal tbh; although mine's basically a budget one, I don't see how going for the ones with better hardware and more storage would've made me like them more. Being able to watch youtube on it is nice, but since my current cellphone plan was meant for a simpler phone, Android's tendency to always have something it needs from the net basically hit the limit in a few days :/
Haven't checked the prices for a better net connectivity, perhaps they're not that more expensive nowadays, i'unno. In any case, i'd probably never go for the latest and greatest smartphones even if I had the money or if they were offered to me free; just doesn't interest me.
Your results may vary, of course. If all you do on a phone is call/text people, then i'd skip them. If the thought of some pretty decent games, Internet on the go, and various interesting and useful apps tempts you, then give it a go; though i'd recommend asking to play around with a friend or family member's smartphone first, try as many as you can to get a feel for the broad spectrum of smartphones that are out there.

[QUOTE=Otsegolation;38760822]I tried the whole smart phone experience. Now I'm happier off without a cell phone.[/QUOTE]As in no mobile phone entirely? Any particular reason? Disregarding the whole smartphone thing, being able to call people (or emergency services if needed) without having to find a landline or borrow someone else's phone is remarkably useful.
I've been looking into what phone I should get to replace my Galaxy S and I've been looking at some windows 8 phones that have tight integration for the windows platform and this looks like my perfect choice. I just really hope that they fix the sensor issues apparent in other Lumia devices.
Also that music really didn't compliment the phone very well in my personal opinion.
