I have a 930 myself, but want to get the missus a 535 until she inevitably wants an iPhone 6, seems brilliant value.

1GB Ram, 5MP camera front and back, flash, quad core. I was going to buy it off Amazon but may as well get it in Argos of its only a little more expensive.

Hows the build quality, is a case/cover necessary?

Build quality is fine back cover moves a small bit I might invest in a tempered glass screen protector as 5" there is always the chance to mark such a big screen but so far no arks on mine and I'm very happy with it.

Just a suggestion pal, but if you're going to buy from Argos, they have the 4G version of the phone also, the 635

Think I might buy it myself!

Just remember most of electronics from Argos are: "Excluded from the Argos 30 day money back guarantee.". Much easier return/get money back from Amazon...

Actually, I'm talking about the Lumia 535. No 4G, but better specs than the above. But thanks for the heads up anyway!

No worries at all!

Turns out there's way more Lumia's than I thought at first.

Got the lumia 630 delivered today plus the cloud speakers happy days . Thanks o2

Thinking to buy this as a present for someone.

Stupid question - Can you install whatsapp on it ? I'd HTC Windows phone and I wasn't able to install whatsapp at the time.

It will cost €30 to get it unlocked...

I've got a Nokia Lumia 521 and it was no problem installing Whatsapp on that, so guessing it would be the same for the 630.

My Lumia 521 is giving me a bit of bother - the power button on the side doesn't always work, so might be time to get something like this 630.

What is Priority Moments that you are all mentioning? I have Pay as You go with 02. Is Priority Moments something I would have already?

Thanks. Just signed up. I'm guessing that the current offers are typical of what they usually have?

beauf · 17-02-2015 09:29PM

Yeah doesn't change much. Someone suggested they might end soon with the switch to three.

If its your only phone I would not download the W10 preview on it, still a lot of bugs.

You can download whatspp to it yes, the full range of apps are here:> http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ie/store

Bit off topic but you can use whatsapp from your PC/laptop using chrome browser @ https://web.whatsapp.com/, handy if you are at a desk all day. Saves unlocking your phone etc

Yeah, you can. Along with Viber, Jongla, Facebook Messenger etc etc.

Just got mine delivered from o2 last night . Didn't realise the 630 was quad core , makes a big difference when it comes to speed. Got the speaker, its a cool speaker . Very happy customer, thanks o2

Bozacke · 19-02-2015 12:05AM

I received my new Lumia today, but there was no coloud speaker as promised. Did everyone else get or didn't get the coloud speaker?

jimmycrackcorm · 19-02-2015 04:17AM

If the apps you need are available on Windows Phone then I'd say its preferable to Android or UOS. That's coming from a committed Android user

castle2012 · 19-02-2015 10:14PM

Hi there i received a cloud speaker with mine earlier this week , Great sound out of it , Also got it unlocked through ebay for €22, Happy days now back to tesco mobile, thanks o2

leck · 20-02-2015 04:28PM

Ordered one of these to replace a Lumia 521. It arrived today with a free SIM card and the speaker. If I want to keep my old number should I just transfer the SIM from the old phone? Will the SIM bring all my contacts, etc.? Will the SIM then have to be registered to the new phone? What about other stuff - text messages, call history, I presume they are stored online by O2 and that they will automatically appear? And as for apps, I suppose I'll have to install all those anew?

I would like to keep the old phone as a spare and I will have a spare SIM either way, just not sure if I would need to request a number to go with the spare SIM and then presume that would require a minimum topup. I'm with O2 pay-as-you-go, but the Lumia 521 is unlocked.

Hi leck,
You received your phone today with a speaker, I'm glad you got the speaker, but now I'm really mad, I received my phone a few days ago and no speaker :mad:
I emailed O2 twice now and no reply. Maybe I'll need to call them, just not sure which number to call.:mad:

Assuming your other SIM is also an O2 SIM and a Micro SIM, then you should be good to go. Unless you unlock the phone, it will only work with O2 SIMs, but should work with any O2 micro SIM. If the other SIM isn't a micro SIM, just call O2 and request a replacement micro SIM for your existing number.

Just transfer your micro sim from the 520 to the 630 and use as normal. No need to do anything else. Hold the new sim as a spare if you wish.

Any content you want transferred to the new phone can be done using the 'Transfer my data' which should be in the app list. Post if you have problems with it.

When you enter your Microsoft account email it will download anything you had set to be backed up automatically so that could be contacts, sms etc.

Apps will appear as 'owned' rather than installed in the store.

Hi Davy, I did that and it asked for my MS account email, then it said "restoring data". Happy to see it remembered the apps that I was using and installed those apps, including tiles for those I had pinned to the start menu.

My phone contacts have also been transferred, phone history has been added but it only goes back as far as 30/12/2014. Maybe that was all that was available on the old phone, I'm not sure.

But my text messages were not restored. Running the Transfer My Data app now, it's letting me transfer Contacts (did that again just in case) but no sign of text messages.

I notice my Whatsapp message history is gone too although I don't care about that.

Bear in mind, it might take some time for the test messages to repopulate.

You should see them eventually. To double check, look for the "backup" area in settings; the box should be ticked for text messages by default.

Couldn't get the text messages to appear, toggled backup off/on on both phones, text message backup was off on the old phone when I moved the SIM so maybe that was why it wouldn't work. This morning I turned battery saver off and on on the new phone, and suddenly the text messages started to show up.

castle2012 · 21-02-2015 05:49PM

Once you have an outlook/hotmail , onedrive account on your old phone and your old phone syncs . All your apps,texts and even pics will come up on your new phone . That's from personal experience. I had no need to transfer anything it automatically happened

SeamusFX · 02-03-2015 04:06PM

I finally got my free speaker, although I had to email O2 twice to get it, although I may never use the speaker, if it was promised, it should be included.

Haven't used the phone much yet, but so far so good.

Has anyone bought a case for this yet and if so any recommendations?

The Priority Moments deal is still up on the site. The site will not be affected by the takeover. I used it today, the text said expires 31st March 2015.
