This is an excellent phone. It picks up WiFi from long distances, being its a phone. Some people say they don't hear me loud on a call other than that, its a great phone.
The software is nice. I dislike the way it receives calls and dials, for example you must save a contact's number saved with the area code (even locally), otherwise it won't show caller ID properly. Likewise, if you dial without area code, it won't show who you are calling.

Overall, its reliable, has decent cameras and it is a good buy.

Had the phone for over a year now, and after upgrading to Windows Phone 8.1 there really isn't anything to complain about anymore. It seems Microsoft has stepped up the game with the new version, fixed a lot of ongoing issues, and of course Nokia's quality is still unquestionable.
