4.0 out of 5 stars All hail the last "Nokia Lumia"? November 18, 2014

By John

This phone has a crystal clear screen and takes great photos. I owned the Lumia 925 before this, and I do feel that this phone is an upgrade. The larger screen makes data much easier to read. Also, the battery life has been good (I get about a day and a half with a lot of usage). Additionally, the OS is the best part of this phone... there are so many options for changing the display settings and I am very satisfied.
Considering the included FitBit with this purchase, I do not feel this phone is as overpriced as others claim it to be. With the At&t next plan, discounts are applied to your account for upgrading to this phone, and I am very happy with my new plan.

Pro's: Good quality screen, Windows 8.1 OS, music plays loud from speakers, thin design, dedicated camera button, Cortana, and the included FitBit.

Con's: Call/sound quality--people sound a bit muffled. There is also a speed lag when switching between apps compared to high-end processors such as that of the HTC One M8. In addition, Internet Explorer has difficulty re-sizing/presenting images and content. Lastly, reception with this device seems to be "spottier" compared to other At&t devices that I have owned. However, I can foresee some of these issues being remedied through an OS update in the future!

Overall, I would recommend this phone to any Windows fan who is looking for a great device to sync their calendar, photos, and documents with One Drive. It takes great pictures, feels comfortable to hold, and is of high build quality.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Pair of Devices December 24, 2014

I've had several Lumia phones and find I like this one best of all. That said, it's not the fastest nor does it have the best camera - those belong to the 1520 and 1020. However, with a 5" screen the size is near perfect - large enough to read yet small enough to pocket easily. I've not notice that the screen resolution is anything but completely satisfactory. Adding a micro SD card takes care of any limitations the 16GB onboard storage may present. And it has built in wireless charging so I'm able to use the wireless charging pads I originally got to use with my retired 920. Of course all the Microsoft/Lumia features are available, so this phone syncs seamlessly with my Windows 8.1 PCs and can utilize OneDrive and MS Office.

The only other things I'd like to see in a Windows Phone are dual SIM slots and a 1020 like camera, but those were not enough reason for me to not to get this phone, particularly when paired with the $99 Fitbit Activity Tracker band.

2.0 out of 5 stars A middling phone that's outmatched by a range of other options December 10, 2014

PROS:
Excellent voice quality. Good size and build.

CONS:
Underpowered compared with the competition. Disappointing battery life.

Here's where things get weird: The Nokia Lumia 1020 is currently at a fire-sale price of $49 from both AT&T and the official Microsoft Store. The Lumia 1020 has a better camera, more storage, and similar performance for $50 less than the Lumia 830, so I genuinely can't figure out why you'd get this one instead of that one.

The Lumia 830 is also pincered between the $0.99 Lumia 635, which is a better entry-level device with decent performance, and the $199 HTC One (M8) for Windows, which has far superior app performance.

That's three phones I recommend over the Lumia 830, and that's just AT&T Windows Phones. At a similar $99 price point, you can also get the spectacular 2014 Moto X, with a better display, better body, and a wider range of Android apps, or an Apple iPhone 5s, which is tiny, but has a better camera and a far better third-party app and game selection.
