I bought the Lumia 820 as I needed a new phone and found I had grown quite fond of the live tiles and the "metro" interface from my win8 Lenovo X230T. I however didn't want to spend on a marquee device as it was more a trial of WP8 and at $160 for one in good (read excellent) condition and already unlocked it was a easy decision. I'm coming from an ICS T-Mo HD2 btw so i'm a little behind in hardware. The sharpest display I've ever seen on a phone first hand, expandable memory (64GB), built in 1GB of RAM (critically beats the lumia 720 there), changeable battery, changeable coloured covers with the built in buttons made buyers remorse a non-issue from the start. The interface is the best i've ever used (I've used iOS, android running sense and BB7) and its intuitive and seamless, it makes getting status updates from my different news, sports and humor apps easy. The blacks on the diplay are deep and make colours pop and seem more vibrant. Touch screen is responsive and accurate. My major issue is with the ring and message volume, even at max its quite low and the pre-loaded sounds are quite subtle if u work in a noisy environment you will easily find yourself missing calls and alerts - simple solution add a custom tone - except you can't add custom message (read sms, im or email) tones, mercifully you can add custom ringer tones though. I've had the criticism leveled that the app store is a barren wilderness devoid of hope, and that is not entirely true. Almost all the major apps I use/needed were all in the store and ready to install and in the few cases where I couldn't find a specific official app I either found a third party app running the service/pulling form the site or an as good competitor. It should however be noted that if ur after a niche app or something off the beaten path that may not be there.Read full review
For a mid-range smartphone it's tough to do better than the Nokia 820. If you like Windows phone (which I do) you won't find more features or a better value than the 820. Built in NFC, a nice 8MP camera and optional wireless Qi charging shell are great. SD card support means up to 72GB of storage. The only drawback is that design wise it's quite plain, boring even if not for the color options. However I find most mid-range phones have boring designs, so par for the course there (the HTC 8S looks better, but no wireless Qi charging option was a deal breaker). The screen is also not 720P, but still quote sharp with deep blacks and good color saturation. I thought I'd miss 720P but I actually don't with this phone.
I work in a tech support queue for a major Bluetooth headset manufacturer. Most of the calls I get regarding connection problems are Android phones. The second most problematic phone is iPhone. Everyone I speak to that has owned a Windows phone has no real complaint so I figured I would try one. I purchased this phone and I must say I love it. Wifi connection is a little week when updated to 8.1 Cyan but, still works reasonably well. Speech recognition function works well for web, email, text and calling contacts. The speech recognition works quite well via Bluetooth headset and, if you have a wideband headset, the phone with read your text messages and allow you to reply by simply waiting for the prompt tone and say "reply". It will then say "please state your message" and then read it back to confirm before you say "send". Apps that are available may be few for those who game or do other things on the phone but, since I do not, this phone is perfect for me. After all, it is a phone and that is what I use it for. This is larger and heavier than most but you get used to it. All in all, an excellent value!Read full review

These Lumia 820's are a really good deal. They can be upgraded to the latest 8.1 software release and have a very good Zeiss 8.9 mp camera that works much better than the reviews say, especially in low light. The 8gb of internal memory and Qualcomm Snapdragon processor give really good performance, not to mention 1gb of ram. I have had no problems at all using a 64gb memory card. If you can pick one of these up for under $60 -- go for it! Wireless charging is supported, but you will probably have to buy a new back cover, which is about $15 or so. Finally, there is the "clear black" display, which adds more contrast and better outdoor performance, and is unique to Nokia. The only bad things are the fact that it is not super thin and light, and although the 8.1 release has improved battery performance, you will have to get an extended life battery for $15 or so to get something that is close to and iPhone in battery performance. Cricket and MetroPCS are giving away Windows phones, but they do not have the Zeiss camera or wireless charging or 1gb of ram.Read full review
Bought the product as I've seen so many "discrete" advertisings in movies and tv-series that I needed to get one miself :) Sadly it feels very bulky in the hand, and battery is not very well fixed inside as it's shakes a little. Camera is very nice, the possibility to download filters is also ok. DIsplay looks very good but it's rather small compared to the whole case. Would recommend, if you pay under 200 USD for it.
