Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences
Hi.
I bought my L620 on 16.3.13. I was quite happy with it as this was my first smart phone.
After about a month suddenly I got a few vertical lines on the left side of the screen. As I was abroad during that period I had no option to take it to an Nokia store. The phone was working fine.
After coming back to India I was planning to take it to the store. But delayed it as I was travelling. Then one day I find a crack on the touch screen and the phone stopped functioning correctly. I was sure that I did not drop the phone at any time. But I was carrying the phone on my trouser/jean,s pocket regularly like all other mobile phone. I suppose due to wrong pressure the touch pad glass cracked.
The repair cost quoted by Nokia care was about Rs. 8000.00. I stopped using the phone and gone back to my faithful N73.
All owners may please take note how to handle this phone correctly.
Waiting for a touch pad in open market as and when arrive.

In the last month, Nokia’s stock has grown by nearly 17% surging from around $3.5 apiece to more than $4.2, and the unveiling of the Lumia 1020 only continues that trend.
While credit agencies have reiterated negative outlooks on Nokia stock, it seems that investors have a different opinion and the shares of the Finnish phone maker are slowly but surely going back to their good days.
It’s hard to track when the investor sentiment started swinging back in Nokia’s favor, but looking at device launches, it’s clear that the Lumia 620 first started it late last year, and in 2013 the Lumia 520 and Lumia 720 were received warmly and sent two huge positive signals to markets.
Now, we have the Lumia 1020, Nokia’s long awaited camera superphone in a slim body and running on the Windows Phone 8 platform. It seems to have gotten the unanimous press award for best cameraphone almost instantly, even prior to the first official reviews. If Nokia prices it right (we suspect the initial $300 on contract price could drop in a few months after the launch), we would not be surprised if the Lumia 1020 becomes the staple of Nokia’s comeback.

Nokia Lumia 520 pushes Windows Phone to bigger than 10% market share in UK | WMPoweruser
We know the Nokia Lumia 520 is a success story, and the only question really is how big at the minute. AdDuplex shows the handset has in only 3 months on the market jumped to be the 3rd most used Windows Phone in UK.
Nokia’s Symbian had an 11.4% market share in March 2011, and 10.7% in June 2011, suggesting rather strongly that Nokia crested the 10% market share once again for the first time in UK since 2011.
Given that Symbian had a 0.1% market share in May 2013 we can be fairly certain Nokia’s market share is a good substitute for Window Phone, meaning UK is joining the list of “strong” Windows Phone markets like Italy, Poland and Russia, and that Nokia is finally starting to see signs of the return on investment which Stephen Elop has been after since the burning platform memo so long ago.
And
Nokia “working very hard on Instagram” | WMPoweruser
With a camera-centric focus the biggest annoyance for Nokia must be that the most popular photo sharing network is not making an app for their platform.
Nokia is not simply sitting around however and waiting for Instagram, who is being run as an independent subsidiary of Facebook, to make up their minds.
TechCrunch spoke to Brian Biniak, Vice President and General Manager of App development at Nokia, who’s job it is to bring popular apps with global reach, like Instagram, to the platform.
He said:
TC: Let’s move on to a tougher question. The Lumia 1020 is clearly built with imaging in mind, and when I think of mobile photography there’s one app that dominates the thought. You know where I’m headed: What’s the deal with Instagram? When can we expect them on the platform and what are you doing to get them there? Have talks begun?
BB: We are working… very hard on Instagram. We’re working closely with Facebook — as you know, we work with them across all kinds of devices. Microsoft has a close relationship with Facebook, which you can see from the Bing decision, and… for Instagram. We’re working on that.
We’ve also extended our relationship with Twitter so Vine will also come to the platform later this year.
Of course due to the presence of apps like Instance and Instagraph much of the pressure from the Windows Phone community itself to get Instagram has been relieved, but it would take an official app to remove the barrier for reviewers and new buyers.

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences
I agree with SB here, you could have got it for much lesser price I think between 8000 to 9000/- as the model itself was launched for Rs.10000/- I think. Anyway congrats buddy !!

720 is @ 15300 (current lowest) at tradus now !
I think you should have got 520 for 8700 or less (if you had a bit of patience). Bought from indiatimes at 8700, and saw in homeshop for 7900 later ! (i think i had posted the link here before). I do not know the availability at the moment

Re: Nokia Lumia Series Smartphones Discussions and Experiences
The issue is that i am not able to connect only via bluetooth, i will post the images for the same, it gets connected and disconnect in few seconds.
So in any case without the connection i dont get the share option in the file menu to share via bluetooth.
