We have about 40 of them here and I'd say they're alright.. not great.

- Several Bluetooth pairing issues with carkits have been reported
- Updates are practically non-existent, plus no Nokia-only features or apps. No 4G either which may be an issue for some
- On the plus side, removable battery and MicroSD slot

At the time we bought them (start of 2013) they were probably one of the best, but the Lumia equivalent (925) is a far better handset in my opinion and feedback from our staff has been much more positive.

If this was selling at €100-150 I'd say it's a good bargain but with 925s and other new models for not much more now I'd probably pay the bit extra myself.

I have one, it's good but I wouldn't pay 200 quid for it now.
