Nokia Lumia 735

I switched to Verizon just to get this Windows phone. I had a Windows phone from another service provider years ago and absolutely loved it. Beautiful OS and great battery life.

I REALLY want to love it, but...

I am very disappointed in this new phone and the provider. If you were to read user reviews of common programs in the Windows Phone Store, you'd get an understanding of how frustrating some of the programs are on this phone. I guess Windows never kept up with the market. For example, the phone's Verizon help section shows it is not even compatible with the phone's Windows browser. Seriously.

I rarely play games or use obscure programs. Just trying to use common programs such as Facebook can be extremely aggravating. Simple problems cannot be answered with the help sections from the provider and WIndows. For example, my message indicator still does not show when I receive voice mails. Shouldn't be a big deal to figure out, right? Well, after many visits to both sites and a Verizon store, it still doesn't work.

I will, unfortunately go back to the iPhone with another carrier. I will miss Window's (overall) great OS, but need an "adult" phone and a responsible service provider to back it up.

I'm done with Windows and this service provider.

Best bang for the buck. Clear display, good battery life, optimized with no lags. I became Win fan with this phone. I get the feeling that with less $ u get more with Win phones. Can't wait for 940 XL.

I love this phone! First of all, I love the resolution! Colors are bright and everything looks so beautiful and clear. I had a Lumia 625 and the resolution really bothered me. Why have a phone with a bigger screen, when most things are going to look pixelated and wash out?
I really like the shape and form factor of this phone. It's similar to the earlier Lumia models. This phone not only looks nice and classy, but it also feels great in the hand.I'm happy with the height of the phone, I just wish it was a little wider. On the other hand, it's great for single handed use.


The back door can be removed, which is great! You can snap on another back cover, and voila! new phone.

The speaker is very decent and louder than other Lumia models, like the 720 and the 625, which I previously owned.

Internet browsing is also pretty decent. I'm not going to say it's lighting fast, but I have no complaints.
Reception and call quality are good. No dropped calls or problems SO FAR.

I love both cameras. Pictures turn out very well.Too bad there's not a designated camera button. I often find myself pressing on the side to take pictures, then I remember there isn't a camera button. Video calls are good. When I first tested the front facing camera on Skype my friend commented on how great and clear everything looked.

The system runs smoothly. I haven't experienced any lags.

I'm not a gamer so I can't really speak about games.

Regarding memory, I like it that even though the phone memory is limited, you can insert a memory card and download apps on it.

There are great music apps that allow you to download music straight into your music library.

Overall, I am very happy with this phone. It has so many great things for the price. I recommend it!
