Nokia Lumia 930 5 inch Sim Free Windows Smartphone - Black

Unique simplicity and modern is best to describe this phone. Excellent quality build that comes with a top camera and fluid and very elegant OS. The touch screen is the best I've used that can be used with ease even with gloves on. The sound is excellent too with great audio recording features: Nokia Rich Recording with four microphones, Nokia Rich Recording with Surround Sound. With W8.1 now having 'Swip' keyboard which feels more accurate compared to all Android phones I've used, inc my now Xperia Z2. Live tiles are informative and look great. Apps are plenty with less bloatware apps compared with Android/iOS where many apps do the same thing, but still W8P still has all the popular apps: Facebook, What's App, Netflix, BBCiplayer, 4oD, Spotify, Instagrams...etc. The store continues to add new apps with some excellent Nokia apps already built into the Lumia. Bing apps are great too: News, Weather, Sport, Fitness & Health, Travel, Food are all very clean and polished looking and very easy to navigate. Standard lockscreen is informative - this can be further altered and customised using the Lockmix app. NFC is built in and can be useful(Use Nokia apps for writing NFC tags - I use it for Nokia Mixradio to go to a 3 different chosen artist radio mix and then send it to a NFC speaker, also cab number on with tag on home phone if ever needed). Accessories from Nokia like the wireless speakers that has a 15hr charge where you can send you music by Bluetooth/NFC, speaker wireless phone charger - listen to your Lumia music while charging phone, and the upcoming tags where you attach tags to personal items, eg: keys, bags, phones, bike, lap-tops, tablets, phones..etc; so if you forget them or leave them behind your Lumia can be set to alert you, and can be tracked if lost by using the Lumia 930(plus other W8 phones)...Updates now seem to arive quicker from MS with other feature/improvement updates also coming at a faster rate. The exciting Contra(Speech assistance + info-cards)is soon to arrive to W8P, but even with the now already standard W8P voice assistance(not Contra)does a good job by doing the usual speech commands: Call, note, search, msg, open app; but can also, for certain apps, do certain things a little more extra compared to google/siri eg, say "Flixster top ten": It will show top cinema movies playing, . Tell 'Wikipedia' search "Star Trek" it will give info about your search request from the app and read the first part to you!. Tell Go To "-Insert Name/Place-" the app take you to those addresses if in your contacts: Simply double press the Search-Key and press See More to see what apps can be used in this way (you may have to open some apps first for voice to attach itself): Here are some apps that can be used - Calculator Toolbox, Go To, Wikipidia, Hey Dj, WP Central, Shazam, Foursquare, Facebook(MS), Flixster, Domino's Pizza, Nokia MixRadio, Voice Butler, UCBrowser, Earth Time..etc. Lumia phones do have the ability to have your txt msg's read out to you (it will ask you first - just answer after the beep)which can be handy (go into Settings and then Speech). Another nice feature is pressing the Search-Key which takes you to Bing Internet search with options for Scout Local Area, Music Search(like Shazaam), and Barcode Scanning which allows you check barcodes such as price checking, download apps or info from barcode(s) and also translate text if needed by holding the phone over the required text to be translated - all very quick easy fast access at a press of the search icon. Rooms/Groups/People Hub on W8Ps allows easy quick access plus communication to who ever you put in them. This allowing grouping individuals together or who you choose for sharing or sending photos/videos, txts/chats, contacts, emails. Pins is another unique feature that allows you to pin most things to the screen such as apps, articles from the web, individual notes, sport/news/app pages, albums/artist/songs, address/map/route(s), page from web, photos, contact(s), group(s)..etc; for later or just keep them there for quick access for when you want/need them. Another simple but very useful function for people with/around children is 'Kids Corner'. Simply swipe right from lockscreen, put in code, which will now not allow a child to enter any other part of the phone except those apps you put in 'Kids Corner'. For travellers there's Nokia HERE Maps/Transit/Drive - also maps/directions can be used off-line too. Just download the map before you go!..TIP: In Nokie HERE Maps you can pin the app Places to the screen(It like more closer local Local Scout). Better still get HERE Explore Beta: This is where City Lens, Local Scout, Places all come together in one place and which actually more useful and accurate with your surroundings, plus better options (I think Nokia will drop City Lens, Local Scout, Places and use Explore - which does make sense). The phone seems suited for business users too as W8P' come with Office which can also be connected to mobile Office365 for setting up Office documents, with also Office Lens to capture pictures of whiteboards, documents, photos and then share them or just save them onto OneNote. Also Skype is also part of the phone that can be used for 'Facetime' and group chats as well as cheap calls abroad. Onedrive gives you plenty of free cloud storage, and with blackberry messenger soon to be released for W8P's too. Combine all this and with Lumia's smooth OS operation group/people hubs, live tiles, and the ease of use and to navigate really helps for people who do need a phone with a business use edge...Not forgetting all those XboxOne owners, there's 'Smartglass'. Entertainment from movies/sport/music/games can be beamed/shared on your Lumia screen. Smartglass can also be used to navigate and control functions on XboxOne too as well as be used to send msgs to Xbox friend lists, invite people for gaming, control apps on the console..etc. Experiencing Lumia WP8 is really different and does shine in areas above Android and Apple, and that's coming from a well used Android user(used SG1 and SG3, now using Xperia Z2 as my contract upgrade phone, bought a 2nd hand Lumia 920, and got the 930 recently. Have used iPhone too as my partner has it). WP8 may still miss some functions of Android or iOS missing on W8P - but its vice versa on Android and iOS too. Its the new kid on the block, new OS, so just remember iOS and Android when they started - it took ages to reach what we have now! But it seems MS have caught-up faster, is listening to users, and pushing ahead in updates and quality. Looks feels and operates like a premium modern phone too.

Fantastic phone, did have one issue with Office which was resolved: Initially loved the phone, for many reasons, screen, camera, interface etc. and I was able to edit Excel docs on OneDrive, using MS Office, which was free. When I upgraded to insider tech preview Windows 10, Excel suddenly required a subscription to edit docs, so I gave it a big thumbs down and a really bad rap everywhere. Despite loving the phone, it was a deal breaker for me, free editing using Office was the main reason I bought the phone, to integrate with OneDrive, and the already paid for version of Office on my laptop. After a lot of complaining, I received an email from MS indicating that it is free again, so I reinstalled and yippee I can edit docs for free again! Thanks MS for making it free to edit docs again on my phone. Office is an unbeatable app, even though I only make minor edits on my phone (not enough to warrant a subscription), the functionality is excellent, and all the Excel charts etc. work really well. It's really handy being able to create shortcuts to each doc on the desktop, grouped easily together just by dragging one over the other, then one click and I'm back to the place where I was editing the last time, even on a different device. Another plus is that more and more apps, available on other platforms, are appearing in the store. The integration between the apps was great, but in the new updates to Windows 10 is getting better all the time e.g. the calendar now syncs with all my Gmail and Hotmail accounts, so all my reminders are in sync on my devices. I use the navigation constantly and offline maps with Here maps is a real bonus, invaluable on a recent trip to Australia, when out in the boonies. OneNote is excellent, easy to use and organize different sets of notes, synced across devices. Haven't paid for an app yet and really happy with all the ones I use. I have now changed my mind about selling my Windows phone, which was going to be hard because I love it!!

Ho voluto aspettare un po' prima di scrivere la recensione per assicurarmi che tutto funzionasse a dovere! Il cellulare non ha pecche, la fotocamera è spettacolare e il sistema operativo è aggiornabile a Windows 10 mobile.

El movil tal como esperaba es estupendo, fácil de usar, cómodo, y muy útil, no tengo queja alguna sobre este producto. Gracias.

Ne ho acquistati 3 e restituiti 3 nel giro di un mese e mezzo. Al primo non funzionava il vivavoce. Al secondo funzionava il vivavoce ma si e' staccato il pulsante della fotocamera dal secondo giorno. Al terzo non funzionava il vivavoce. Da aggiungere che il primo Lumia 930 supportava windows 10, mentre i successivi 2 supportavano solo windows 8. Ho avuto per 4 anni il Lumia 925 e ad oggi non ha nessun problema, tranne che per la velocità (Smartphone obsoleto), ma il 930 e' un buco nell'acqua.

Il prodotto è arrivato integro e nella data prevista,da un mese dell'arrivo posso dire di essere soddisfatto,il venditore ha risposto tempestivamente alle mie domande,le descrizioni sono esatte e rispettano il prodotto
