    Buy online sim free for about €200 delivered. if you want to switch from meteor then you can at a later date without having to unlock.

    the lumia 620 will be coming out within the next 2 months i'd say. should be around 200, and has new windows 8.

    Wait for the Lumia 620, don't buy any of the current nokia's as they won't be upgraded to version 8.

    need it in the next week or 2 so cant really wait 2 months

    il probably have it lost/broke by then anyway lol

    Get the cheaper of the nokias then. For the money it thumbs the lard out of andriod phones. And if you like Facebook you'll love it. Total integration.

    That was hard to read.

    Battery on 800 - 2 days is a good result for a smartphone.
    Pricing - it is to seller / service provider to sell at the price they want to. I bought a laptop 3 years ago for €500, should I complain it is worth only €100 now?

    It is a good phone, if you don't want / can't wait and you can afford it take it.

    It is okay i meant 5 out of 10 average, nothing great about it and nothing brillant about it the battery issue is a problem is it is called battery memory if you charge it say every 16 -18hours the battery will or should "develop a memory " that will will get a charge every 16- 18 hours , but you can overide it if when possible to charge it when the battery is very low or run it down as low as possible that way you should be able to "extend it memory charge" that is why when you can only charge them when it is low I phones can play about 12,000 hours of music but the charge/ discharge cycle will last about 10,000 hours big difference there i phone not so great or smartphone ? could get into the science of it these smartphones are great but most people dont see the science behind it, personally myself i would not buy a I phone for a number of reasons one they dont treat there workers properly in china, the wont recongise another phone or charger say someelse that you may borrow some do some dont you have to buy antoher one more money for apple there empolyess in cork ireland for one matter always extend there contract month on month off for years, could be hear for the night about it but... the nokia is ok but there is far better

    You could consider a Huawei G330. It delivers the same spec as the Lumia 620 but is much cheaper. Long running thread on it below.
