Product ReviewsNokia Lumia 810 - 8 GB - Black (T-Mobile)

Good so far

Bought this phone to replace a Lumia 810 that was dropped and damaged the camera. So far this phone is a very good replacement. It came with the screen in good condition and a good battery and charger. There was some sediment inside the casing around the speakers and grille but was able to clean and speakers work with no problem. This phone comes with Windows Phone 8 but can be upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1 using Preview for Developers app from Microsoft and Windows Phone 10 using Windows Insider app from Microsoft. But neither upgrade provides wifi calling from T-Mobile. All-in-all a good phone for Windows users even though it is discontinued. Unfortunately developers have not created the variety of apps available for other phones and Microsoft has been slow to expand new Windows phone availability for US mobile providers.Read full review...

Quality vs Integrity.

There are very much security concerns about this operating system, certain apps are not available including some that i need on my cell phone, I get prompted about bad sites after the fact; i needed shut down the unit to get out of the way. I would use this device if not for possible system compromise, the phone is easy to love.Read full review...

Windows Phone

The Lumia 810 had a short life cycle with T-Mobile. If you buy one be sure you get one that has been updated to WP 8.1 through the Developer Preview program. The ease of use between a Lumia 810 on WP8 and WP 8.1 is large. It appears it is now no longer possible to update to WP 8.1 with the release of WP10 so check with your seller.

Screen is bright, not high pixel density but decent.
Takes microSD cards which helps to make up for the 8 GB of device storage.
Works well with WiFi
Call quality is excellent
Camera has a flash and takes okay photos
The microUSB port will not take a lot of abuse, get the Nokia CC-3063 charging back and a Qi charge pad to reduce cable insertions
Runs WP8 / WP 8.1 smoothly
Get an extra battery so you can swap out a charged battery for a dead one if you are day long gamer.Read full review...

Very good

I like the responsiveness of the system overall - no lag as far as I'm concerned. HERE Maps are uniformly excellent and you can download them prior to travel (low footprint) to eliminate data costs. And it's easy to find places of entertainment etc in your location - and very speedy to lock on to your position. Lack of apps on Windows Phone might be a problem for others but I found everything I needed (mainly travel oriented). And I found the Operating System easy to understand and navigate - a very short learning curve. So if you're looking for a cheapish handset that's good to use on the go, and not too bothered about sound/photo/video quality, then you can't go wrong.

It stores documents in SkyDrive, which I can pull up on my phone, edit, and email. I can work with pdf or any doc attached to an email. The tiles make it easy to use. The navigation has directions and even public transit directions. Nokia has a ton of apps, including ESPN, TV, and City Lens, which views your surroundings and tells you what businesses (i.e. restaurants, convenience stores) are nearby. A ton of free apps, too, like a translator (which translates text, spoken word, or a photo), flashlight, games, and great radio streaming. I love this phone!Read full review...

Interesting Phone and very nice to browse the internet with this phone.

Nice Phone, Good Apps in it. And its very easy to use. Its doing well to the internet access.

Sometimes you can use it as a wi-fi base and connect to another eight phones.

It's a PC in your pocket,

This Phone is excellent. It has all the features of the previous models and more. If you used any of the Nokia windows 7 phones, you will be very please with this windows 8 phone. It has apps that are comparable to the IPhone. I have always love the ability access Microsoft office documents from my phone. The bigger screen allows you to access features with ease. The bigger screen also makes it easier to read and edit documents. It gives you the ability to leave the laptop or tablet at the office and still remain productive. It also allows you to access email accounts separately. Personal and business emails are easy to find.Read full review...

very fast and easy to use phone

apps are so fast to open and close , it seems like the processor is very strong, i love that skype run on the background and one of the best option i ever had is that message reader, my god ,that option is very good especially when u drive keeps u safe since u dont have to type at all just take to the phone and it will do the job like a freaking robo lol
great phone over allRead full review...

Great Phone Overall

The phone with windows 8 takes some getting use to for people who have not used it before. The live tiles drain the battery even with minimal use of the product. The price i paid was decent compared to other top rated phones. I purchased the phone to sync with my office outlook calender and email and have had trouble syncing. I believe our office searver is to old to support windows 8 products.Read full review...

Worst than the 521 Lumina

I was upgrading from the 521 Lumina, but found out I downgraded from the 521. The ONLY thing better than the 521 was the 8mp HD video it captures and a front facing camera. Everything else is horrible.
First off, all pictures you take cannot be downloaded into a computer via a cable. you have to blue tooth connect to do that, also you can get certain apps like Cortana or weather channel. Also there is no separate audio function for cell phone ringing or your alarm to wake up by and the audio is half the loudness as the 521.

Needless to say I bought the Nokia Lumina 521 again.Read full review...

Nokia

From my experience it's alright.
I went from iPhone 6 to this.
Only down fall is I can't get whatever app I want on this phone. Like snapchat does not exist in Windows shopping market. Other apps also.
It's a nice little thing and does the job I need it to. Battery is pretty great. I only have to usually charge it once throughout the day.Read full review...
