Re: Mobile Phones

And finally I got myself Nokia Lumia 720 and a free powerbank charger for Rs. 16,300 from Croma.

Guys got a couple of questions regarding Lumia 720 :
1. I downloaded Delhi/NCR maps via HERE DRIVE. Then I started to download the India map but also did a demo for the already dowloaded map. After the demo, I cant find where was the India map(which was downloaded till 50%) went.

2. Though I installed Tapatalk in the phone, don't know how to subscribe to xbhp through tapatalk. Could anyone help me please.

And yes, I am satisfied with my choice. Totally blown away with the screen resolution, the touch interface and the cam quality.

Congrats sid, welcome to Lumia gang

, I think currently if you opted for 1GB RAM model that would be better, never the less.

Coming to your map problem, you can locate those maps in here maps settings and if it is downloaded only 50% it will not show or work properly so complete it for 100% first and then check.
Tapatalk is a bit difficult to operate, just go into the community section connect to internet before that and search XBHP you will find all the thread, but I am still not able search all the stuff of Xbhp website through Tapatalk......

Thanks Vinay. In the price range of 18k, i guess we just have 720 and 625. Amongst the two, I found 720's screen resolution better, so went for it.

Avoid micromax.. buy xolo or moto g or some other. Micromax's screen is delicate. I dont like its camera also.

Before buying any phone, check the benchmarks. Buy the phone with the highest scores. Some benchmarks are nenamark, antutu and quadrant. See the scores and choose your device. Canvas 4,turbo are laggy while playing high end games also there benchmarks are not up to the mark. Before buying any phone from these types of companies(xolo, micromax,etc) , do a detailed survey and watch the gaming reviews on youtube if you want to play games and use alot of apps. If you want to use it only for calling, then buy 'any' phone.
