Lumia 520, 8Gb, Sim Free Windows Smartphone - White

I brought this phone a month ago and I'm extremely happy with it. It arrived very quickly which I was very happy about but unfortunately it arrived with a cracked screen. I contacted the seller though and had a new one delivered with next day delivery. The phone itself is excellent, Windows and the Apps were both easy to use once I got the hang of them and the camera is a good enough quality for what I use it for. I've had no problems with the touch screen which is great as I've had a touch screen phone before and found it difficult to respond, not this one though! The internet runs smoothly and the sound quality when I listen to music is excellent. The only problem I really have with this phone is that I use the internet and play music on it quite a lot when I'm out and about and so the battery life drains quite quickly, it's not too much of an issue it generally lasts until I get home and I charge it at night. All in all an excellent phone for the price and I would defiantly recommend it!

I had the previous Lumia and loved it. Sadly it broke & I couldn't get it replaced on my contract. So I decided to go online & buy a new phone. I bought this one because of the low price but also because I had read alot of good reviews. The phone arrived very quickly (it took about 2 days) and I love it. Not only have I had a lot of compliments about it, the easy handling & the quick reactions of the phone have actually converted a few people over to it. This phone is brilliant for people who have never had a smart phone as it is so easy to use & it is actually the first smartphone I have had in years that comes with an instruction manual. It is also great as a back-up phone as it is so cheap if you are prone to losing/breaking your normal one. I use this everyday & I have had no problems in any area. The MP3 player is great, the screen is great & the list of Apps is increasing every day. I totally recommend this phone to everyone.

I've been a loyal Nokia customer for years, but I am now to the end of this journey. After several problems with the battery of Lumia 800 (apparently I wasn't the only one), I decided to buy this phone, that it looked basic, but overall OK. Well, my month old Lumia 520 phone screen cracked in my jacket pocket a week ago (not a major problem, it looked more like a thin hair, I could live with it); but yesterday the touchscreen stopped working, so my phone was useless. Luckily under warranty - or at least I thought so... Since there is a "physical damage", the warranty doesn't cover the problem, even if the two events are unrelated, The Nokia Customer Care (they should call it "Nokia, I don't care about the customer" though) wasn't able to explain me why I had to pay to change the whole display (I can live with a thin crack) when you can repair the problem under warranty. Bad phone, worse customer experience, bye bye Nokia!! I'll be happy to spend more than the 50£ you asked me on a durable phone with a better service.

Its ok it does what it needs to do, the screen is good and the functions all work well, build quality is ok

This is my first smartphone - I tend to be 5 years behind everyone else in terms of technology. I particularly didn't want an iPhone because I didn't want to learn a new operating system, and having just bought a laptop with Windows 8, I thought this would suit me well. It helps if you're familiar with Windows 8 but it's not essential. Download the userguide from the internet (the phone comes with the most basic instruction booklet) and you'll be fine. The phone itself does feel a little insubstantial, light in weight and a tiny bit plasticky but that could be due to me being used to the Nokia 6700 classic which is made of some kind of metal and is heavy and solid. The phone does everything I want - calls are clear, display is bright and if you're middle-aged like me and need reading glasses, it allows you to enlarge the font for texting. The only game I play on it is Solitaire (you need to download the app from the Store) so I can't comment on the gaming quality. I imagine it would be good for playing music through headphones (supplied) but as I have a hearing impairment, I don't use this facility. I would like ringer and alert volumes to be louder, I have them on maximum, but that's just me. There is a good selection of apps from the Store, in my view. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is due to the battery life. I am by no means a heavy user but the battery lasts only about 36 hours on average. In summary, this is a great basic smartphone, but if you've been used to something more sophisticated, you will probably find it frustrating. When I upgrade, I am sure I will stick with Nokia Lumia and just get a bigger, better model. Can't say fairer than that.

Nice device!

I've got a Lumia 920 as my personal phone but bought this out of my own money to replace my work provided Android phone and I'm continuously amazed at how much phone you get for the price. Build quality is good, great Nokia Apps and very snappy for a low end device. WP8 app store is pretty good these days and more and more key apps available. Android has a lot of good phones at the very high end if that's what you want, and choosing a high end Nokia vs them is more a preference for the OS or their great cameras and different design. The difference is here at the low end where Nokia is streets ahead with this. Again, my low end HTC One V was so shockingly, infuriatingly bad with nowhere near enough grunt to run Android that I paid for this out of my own pocket to put my work SIM card in. Worth every penny.

Nokia used to be great and as I needed a replacement phone I thought this would br great due to Nokia's brilliant history, but I was wrong! It doesn't have a camera flash and that is a basic feature every phone has now, you can't download basic apps like Candy Crush and the windows shop is nothing when compared to the Google Play Store. Overall the design, features and lack of Camera are outdated for the price of the phone. I tried to send it back but theres no refunds unless the phone is faulty which is something that wasn't on the selling page. Very disappointed!
