So, Nokia has this nasty habit if doing things that the bigs later turn into the flavor of the month. The Lumia line has had curved-edge glass for some time. It has advantages and definitely gives a more smooth, fluid feel to swipes, but also keeps that cool silicone case you just bought from being completely effective (since it's convex, the screen is taller than the phone body). The 830 is snappy enough, takes nice pictures (although advertised as 10MP, mine only allows a max res of 9MP - go figure), has a nice weight and a pretty good screen (not as good as the top-dog 900s, but pay more if you want that). I'd say my only real issue at the moment is that there seems to be no way to turn off motion tracking (this is necessary to work with the FitBit the 830 was offered with from AT&T). I don't have a FitBIt. I don't want my motion tracked. Cut it out. I never thought I'd get a 5 inch phone. I can live with the 830 because it doesn't feel like one.Read full review

When I started looking for a new phone to replace my other one, I decided to look into a Windows instead of an Android OS. I wanted to see how I liked or disliked the differences. when I did my searches, I wanted to stay away from Verizon and stick with AT&T. I just like them better. Nokia was the choice to get. What I had to decide on was the size. Because of money constraints, I had to settle for a 5 inch screen instead of the 5.7 Lumia 950 or the the even larger 6.0 inch Lumia 1520. So I went with the 830. I love Windows 10- Yes I may be the in the 1 percentile who actually will admit to this.....but I do. I always liked the idea of the active tiles when they came out in Windows 8. Not everyone was a fan. Again- I was. It is very cool that this, and every Windows phone, interacts with your PC. Very cool. The package I got from my seller even provided a wireless charging dock. Awesome. I come home, place it on the dock and it changes. When it's done, it turns off. What I'm not thrilled about is an issue with the front camera. It claims there's an app using it along with an error message to report. I cannot use it. It has the capability of taking really clear pictures but I cannot use it. I called Microsoft and, while they tried to correct the situation, it appears that this issue may not be able to be recoverable. I tried to factory reset the phone- thinking that it may need to have a Hard Reset. But that didn't workout. Perhaps it's a hardware issue. Not sure. Things happen. What can you do? The rest of the phone works great though. All in all, I think the phone is a good value. Anyone looking for a decent Windows phone should give this a try.Read full review

You can not find a better windows phone for the price I paid. Works flawless on Cricket wireless. I crashed my Lumia 735 and bought this to replace it. The unlocked Verizon 735 had a better screen, was smaller, lighter and maybe 5% better battery life. However, the 735 was limited to HSPA+ on Cricket and I had to constantly reboot to connect to WIFI hot spots. Physically I prefer the 735. Speed and connections the 830 is better.
