This is a killer phone for the what it costs( ~ $250). Only people who are deeply immersed Android ecosystem, or do not value their money would consider top Samsung models or apple iPhone 6, taking into account price and quality of this phone. This 5" screen phone has really upscale feeling when you hold it in hand. With a black rear case and a dark metal rim, the 830 looked in every way like a premium phone despite midrange price.
5-inch screen has 1,280x720 resolution with a pixel density of 226ppi. The IPS-LCD panel is quite bright and visible at sunlight. As good as in Samsung S4 (another great 5" phone, which now came down in price to the same level).
The Lumia 830's 10-megapixel camera comes with optical image stabilization Nokia Camera delivering distortion-free and full bandwidth stereo recording
SSD has 16GB. The phone also support up to 128GB microSD card.
Removable 2200mAh battery provides a standby time of up to 22 days. Integrated Qi wireless charging
It has three high performance mics delivering true 5.1 surround sound
Windows 8.1 is competitive with android for most of common tasks and sometimes even provides better Web browsing experience. Dialer is OK but less convinient then in Android 4.4 (Android 5 dialer is a step down from dialer in android 4.4).
All "native" application have a uniform, well though interface (This is the area where Microsoft knockdown Google)
It can be personalized easily but android personalization (at least on Samsung phones is slightly more comprehensive.
Cortana has some value too. At least it can say "Call home" or what is the weather in New York ;-).
Got rid of an iPhone 6 to get a Lumia 830
I 'upgraded' my Lumia 820 for an iPhone 6. Within 2 months I had sold the iPhone 6 and 'upgraded' again to a Lumia 830. The windows 8 user interface is so much more user friendly and intuitive than the apple system. I missed the live tiles and the customization that Windows had. Besides, who needs hundreds and thousands of apps when thousands of apps are available. how many apps can you get on one phone anyway?

Solid phone, though no LTE on T-Mobile
By Daniel K. on November 13, 2014
Color: Black Verified Purchase
First some things that the product description doesn't say. Yes, it's the RM-984. I got this because
I'm on T-Mobile and am not holding my breath that they'll release a decent flagship Windows Phone anytime
soon (I don't count anything made by HTC anymore - build quality is hit-and-miss and they don't bother
supporting their products). Unfortunately, this phone does not support their LTE bands; it does appear
to support HSPA+ so it's not a huge downgrade but that may still be a deal-breaker for many buyers.
I'm not sure it is for me - though I would still have preferred the 985. Also, it takes a nano SIM,
in case anyone needed to know.
Onto the phone itself -
Pros:
* Despite the processor being said to be underpowered, performance is actually pretty snappy in most
things I use a phone for. It looks like it's not great in games, but I've yet to run into problems in
"regular" apps.
* A high(-ish)-end Nokia phone smaller than a bus (I have nowhere to put a 1520) that actually has a
Micro-SD slot? I never thought I'd see the day...
* Pretty good camera for the money. I don't know if I've scratched the surface on this thing though
- mostly just relieved to have something that isn't awful (thanks HTC)
* The "feel" of the phone is actually really nice. I was an instant fan of the metal trim as soon as
I took it out of the box.
Cons:
* It's still under-specced for the price compared to certain Android phones in a similar class. Can't
really hide from this.
* ...it doesn't support LTE on T-Mobile. Reportedly the RM-985 model does, but this is not it.
I haven't got the time to test the full power of the camera, but on a first sight is proving that it
comes from the mighty Nokia breed, even in low light it is capable of great shots.
As I said before, I was already on Windows Phone and, although the Lumia 520 runs smoothly 90% of the time, the experience with this 830 has been shocking, thanks to the OS optimization I have not experience any lag whatsoever, it is hard to tell you are using a mid-range Smartphone.
Remember that this is the last phone carrying the Nokia Brand over it, and it does with style, it is a beautiful piece of technology.
Pros
- Gorgeous desing
- Very light
- Comfortable to hold
- Nice performance camera
- Nice sound
- Windows 10 update guaranteed
- A smooth and secure OS
- 128 GB microSD + 15 GB OneDrive of extra storage
- You can redeem a Skype voucher to get free calls worldwide for three months! (until January 31, 2015)
Cons
- A Little bit pricey
- It would be better with support for more frequencies on the LTE band.
- Still a Little bit lacking of some apps, but not a big deal to be honest.
By Kevin Nguyen on January 10, 2015
Color: BlackThe Nokia Lumia 830 dubbed as the "affordable flagship" by their company. I'm sure like most of you, the windows phone of choice was either between this and the 930. My 830 experience has overall been great, if you are not too reliant on apps and really don't care the WP ecosystem is meant for you. My time with this phone has so far been short, but I do have a lot to say about this phone in both it's pros and cons. I will get back to the '830 vs 930' comparison later.
Design - I've been a fan of Nokia's design philosophy for quite a while now and I'm sure some people wouldn't like the squareish feel to this phone and the large camera eye but I feel it catches a lot of attention along with the colored backings. One thing to really appreciate about this phone is the included SD card which is expandable up to I believe 64/128 GB and a removable battery. A removable battery for me was largest important as it means that getting a new phone isn't time gated and that with the right care, the 830 can still be in functional use for many years. I do like the polycarbonate matte backing which is amazing to touch and doesn't feel cheap. I love the metal edges and rounded edges of the screen, small details but provide a premium experience. I do not like however, how the camera is placed? I always up end touching it with my finger and always have to be mindful of where I put it. because it is built into the system the scratch is permanent unlike I believe the 930 which has another glass infront of the actual camera attached to the back.
Button placement is rather awkward and sometimes I find myself accidentally hitting the power button. Luckily the camera button is not trigger happy and would only launch the camera app if held. The volume rocker position is fine where it is.
Experience - Overall the biggest downfall of Windows Phone in general...has been in the same place - Apps. Now I'm not a heavy app user and therefore i was quite suprised when I was disappointed that some basic apps like Youtube and Instagram were not fully supported. Youtube is however, but I believe Google had something to do with the faulty experience. I don't see how you can win people over to Wp if you don't have common apps working. Sure facebook works but there needs to be more staple apps supported and whether it is the company's fault or the 3rd party app maker's is left to be speculated. That being said, I do enjoy the fluidity of the WP experience and while it may not be as streamlined as say iOS it still delivers a buttery experience that only occasionally takes a second to load apps and content due to the rather low clocking CPU. And sadly you have to use IE so that is a disappointment too.
Camera - Nokia and Cameras? That is a no brainer. One caveat that I have noticed is that either there seems to be a lot of afterimage processing in the imagine or the display/viewfinder isn't accurate to display what is going to be taken. What I mean is that when you take a picture a lot of noise is present in the viewfinder but when looking at the actual image there is very little. That being said, pictures on the rear camera are great and are on par with the iPhone 6 in my opinion, though low light without flash is certainly much better on the 830. The front facing camera is decent at taking selfies. The 730 although a much better front facing camera would fare poorly against the 830 for the rear camera due to the PureView technology used in the 830..
Price and Hardware - The 830 is affordable i must admit being only 300 dollars off contract...But I believe that the 830 between the 730 and the 930 sits in a place that's well to say the least awkward. Having the same clocking CPU running the 830 and 730 is staggering and my belief is that there should be an intermediate processor between the 730 and the 930. Instead there is this huge gap between the 730/830 to the 930 when the price is rather incremental. Considering the fact that 1GB of ram is in both sets of the 830/730 it seems a bit strange to me that they should have rather combined the concepts of both the 830 and the 730. Having a 10 MP camera and a 5 MP front facing shooter along with Pure View optics, 1 GB of RAM and a 1.2Ghz clocking CPU for around the same price as the 830 now.
Display - The Display is great I can barely barely see any pixels and colors are superb. It is a 720p display.
If you're considering if you would rather have the 830 or 930 largely considering price and what you need. For only 90 dollars more roughly, you could get a Nokia Lumia 930 without Glance screen but with a 1080P display and a 20MP and 2.2Ghz Quad Core processor. Although the battery is 'nonremovable' for the 930 I believe there are videos which say otherwise. If you don't need a crazy strong phone that drains battery go for the 830. The 830 mind you also has a Glance Screen and expandable storage. That is one of the biggest defining characteristics that myself as a buyer would consider. If you feel down the line or now that you need storage for all your music and photos and videos and feel that 32 GB is not sufficient for you. The 830 is your bet. Also consider the weight and thickness, the 830 is slimmer and is lighter in the hands and therefore is easier to grip than the 930.
Although at times i do wish I should've gone with the 930 considering I did have a larger budget, I feel the 830 is adequate for my needs and is a safer investment if Microsoft do releases a new flagship Lumia device in 2015. The 830 along with the 930 and maybe the 730 are truly failsafe WP that you can't really go wrong with.

Built into the Windows Phone operating system, the Calendar app tracks and schedules events and meetings easily. Here's how to juggle multiple tasks and get more out of Calendar.
Whether you're a photographer, teacher, student or executive, Calendar can be one of the most useful features on your Lumia.
Your Lumia or other smartphone running Windows Phone 8.1 puts all your calendars (such as "work," "class" and "personal") in one place and syncs them automatically, giving you an up-to-date view of your daily schedule.
Viewing multiple calendars
To view the calendar for work, a Microsoft Exchange account, or for any other e-mail account, open settings and tap email + accounts.
Next, choose your e-mail account from the service list (such as Exchange, Google) and under "content to sync" select the calendar box. Now, all your meeting invites and notifications will show up in your daily, weekly and monthly calendar view.
You can also view multiple sub-calendars within your different e-mail accounts. To show or hide sub-calendars, go to Calendar and tap the more (…) icon. Next, tap settings and turn each calendar on or off.
Quick tip: Choose different colors for your sub-calendars to easily distinguish between important meetings, birthdays, office holidays or your personal tasks.
You can also use Cortana (available in select markets) to add events to your calendar. Read our recent story on how to get the most out of Cortana here.
Syncing Facebook events
After logging into Facebook, open Calendar and tap the more (…) icon. Next,
tap settings to choose which types of Facebook events–such as birthdays and event invites–you want to see in Calendar.Quick tip: If you get a lot of Facebook invitations, reduce clutter by filtering out events that you haven't responded to. Under Calendar settings, select "attending" for Facebook events you've responded to.
Check here for instructions on how to add various e-mail accounts (Exchange, Outlook, Google, Linkedin or others) on your Lumia.
