I have purchased two Lumia 925 Smart Phones. The first one stopped transmitting voice, so I purchased a second Lumia 925 since my cellular provider is T-Mobile and this Lumia is designed for T-Mobile and works best with that provider. The WIFI radio is excellent and it will connect to any available network quickly. Voice quality is excellent and the speed of transmission is also excellent. The camera takes very good pictures which compare well with pictures taken with name brand cameras such as Nikon . The operating system which is Windows 8.1 is very simple to use and it nets very well with Outlook and any tablet or computer you own which uses Windows. The APPS are abundant in the store, but I do not need a lot of APPS since I mainly use the phone for it's originally intended purpose (Phone Calls and Texting). Back to the first phone which stopped transmitting. I tinkered with it and found videos on you tube that show in detail how to disassemble and assemble the phone. I saw that the microphone is a tiny electronic unit that can be purchased for less than $5.00 from China and can be easily replaced by a user with some tinkering experience. I also tested the phone with an external microphone and it does work with it inserted in the phone. I am waiting for the microphone to arrive and when repairs are completed the review can be expanded further.Read full review

The 925 is a pretty cool looking phone, it's not too big, has a nice subjective feel and the nokia cameras are pretty good in real world picture taking situations. Audio quality from calls is good without many of the poor sound quality issues a lot of phones have.. When windows works its a nice system, more functional than android, much less annoying ads and pop ups and its quick... Downside, the 925 doesn't have removable battery which is a design defect in the hardware however the biggest problem is the windows OS which has become utter junk at this point in time. Microsoft doesn't support nor update 8.1 which replaced 8.0 and this update caused an enormous amount of problems.. Microsoft simply turned their back on things in 2015 (if you read their tech support pages) screwing over their users as at this time there are a lot of apps which won't run on 8.1 even though they install.Read full review

Pros - The battery life on this phone is pretty fantastic. I have gone for three days without charging on multiple occasions. This was while talking on the phone about 15 minutes each day, and casual internet use to check Facebook and email. Also, the battery was only down to about 25% which is the perfect time to charge. The camera is also a pretty solid feature on this phone. People seem to forget that if you want amazing pictures, go and spend the money on a good camera. The camera on phones is not meant to be stellar. Cons - The main issue that I have seen so far is it will randomly drop the phone network. I will have it somewhere that it had great reception, and it just drops. I restart the phone and it works again. Does not happen often, but it does happen. Other thoughts - I'm not sure yet if I like that the battery cannot simply be swapped out. Don't want to pay as much as the phone to have the battery changed, but it seems like it will last a long time. Switched to Windows phone after only using Android phones in the past. I love it, was quick to learn how to use and can be customized very well. It seems like I have barely even touched the potential that this phone has.Read full review
This phone is the perfect size for single hand operation. There are lots of options for turning on and off features. The Here Drive app is excellent. There are many Lumia apps that are also great, like the camera which takes great photos and offers lots of options for editing right on the phone. I've lost 2 of these over the past 3 years and replaced each one with the same phone. I just can't find a comparable phone for the same value.

I was going to buy an iPhone but i change my mind and decides to spend on this phone. Even though it is not as good an iPhone in terms of design and quality, but it is more than enough for me to call people and surf internet. iPhone is over priced for me so i am glad to buy this as a sub.
