Too bad the Lumia 520 doesn't support wireless charging. But it is still a decent Windows Phone. :)

I'm more worked up by the 520 for its affordable AMAZING price for its abundance of features. Nokia really know how to work on lower markets like a boss.

these phones will dominate the low end market and if anyone disagrees list a low end android that's better than this (at a similar price) ;)

I am not trying to be a "gotcha" guy here, but China is dumping well-spec'ed Android hardware over there, I won't pretend to know the build quality, but there is indeed competition. The Umi X2 Quad-core: 14,000 rupees.http://www.phonearena.com/news

I saw that actually, but if you've noticed here, we are all Nokia biased, so, yeah, ..... but WOW those specs are great for the price!

Mhmm, quality is dodgy but is what is expected from the price. Specs are good on paper.

That's right.. Androids are available for as less as Rs. 4000/-($80) but the thing is... Nokia is a reliable brand and finally the company has woken up and have started treating India as an important market.. the people here are very price sensitive and they want a handset that can run a OS smoothly.. Not many worry about having the latest.. those who do.. have high end handsets.. Heck.. ive got alot of frnds who have Note II and so do their wives.. but they dont know anything about Anrdoid.. all they do is what they used to do on Blackberry.. Call,SMS, Whatsapp and FB(with a little browsing).. but they have the NOTE II coz its the latest status symbol along with the IP5..
I'm Taking about 100 Note II users not even knowing what the stylus is all about... and also what Google Now is.. What widgets are..

Above 12k and it's not same game as $100 phones. People here get sensitive above 14k price. Then they want everything ... or start looking at Samsung when it comes to "brand". LUMIA 920 didn;pt do pretty well so their India head hinted at reducing prices also.
10-14K INR and it becomes a Micromax + Karbon territory.

If we ignore the phones from Indian manufacturers and Chinese manufacturers, 520 has no competition and will be extremely successful (its expected retail price is less than Rs 11000). But same can't be said about 720 as it may face tough competition from more powerful Optimus L9 and Xperia L(whenever it launches). But I will definitely pick Lumia 720 over any other phone for that price.

hope they give some back covers with the 520
8. Timmehor posted on 20 Mar 2013, 04:12 2 0
I doubt it, they do give a lot to their customers for good prices but ... eh, i dont know if they will. :/

They should you still pay for the extra back covers and it would the whole point of having removal back covers like these if they don't give you the options to buy different ones

$300 in India (or £200), £300 in UK so far. Does that mean the US and Euro prices are set to be lower than those discussed?
22. Marcus_h posted on 20 Mar 2013, 08:29 0 0
Ooops - I meant will the UK (not US) and Euro prices come down

What NOKIA MUST do is ADVERTISING! The success of Samsung is only in ADVERTISING! Nothing more!
And, yes... Lumia 720 is my favotrite!

I literally like the design, camera, Nokia Features the only thing that made me a big drawback is the OS of that phone . It will buy it if is in Android OS.

Does the nokia 720 comes with interchangable covers?. Or is it the same as 920?.

In Vietnam, retail stores reveal the lumia 520 at 3,800,000 vnd which is only $181. Go to Vietnam and pick a 520

The Vietnam lumia 520 is cheaper than India 520. But the 720 is more expensive. The 520 is already great at that price so I dont care about 720. huge money gap, low experience difference

Nokia 520 is available on flipkart with 10,499 Rs. price tag + 8 GB Memory card.

The prices mentioned above by PA are inaccurate, since the pricing announced for L520 is ₹10,500 ($193). And L720 is expected to be priced around ₹19k ($350) or ₹20k ($368) as the L710 was priced ₹19k at launch.
