Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2015

Great phone! It's lighter than I expected which is nice. I was torn between the 830 and 930. I end up choosing the 830 because I like removable battery (if something goes wrong, I can take the battery out). I like the microSD card option since I take a lot of photos and like the DNG raw option. I had a 920 prior to this and was a little worry about the camera. That wasn't the case! The 10MP PureView Zeiss camera works well. Yes, I would have liked the more powerful processor and camera on the 930 but the deal breaker was the lack of microSD on the 930. Moving data from my 920 to the 830 was pretty easy. Keep in mind that your game and app data won't come across. If the app didn't provide a way to get the data out, you're out of luck!

Great mid-tier phone!

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2015

Great phone for the price. It is a near-top tier phone for a mid-tier price. Obviously the windows mobile ecosystem is lacking but this phone will get windows 10 and that could be a game changer in terms of apps, etc. The only downside to this phone - the newly released Lumia 640 has almost the exact same specs for about half the price. The only reason i'd get the 830 over the 640 is if you don't like shiny plastics, and want a better camera WITH a dedicated camera button (the 830 is pureview branded; the 640 is not). If camera performance isn't an issue - go with the cheaper 640.

Ordered a new Nokia 830 because the battery would not hold a charge on the old one. Still a great phone, I love the camera and ability to increase memory by adding a micro sd card, also the screen size Added a 128GB card and never had to delete anything since 2015...The micro sd card makes it easier to recover photos and videos if needed. Overall a great phone, easy to use and reliable. My pics still back up to Msft OneDrive. I was sorry to see that brand go from the Msft line up. Ordering a brand new one this year though, you may not be able to grab the Windows 10 upgrade from those servers as support from Msft is pretty much gone. This one came with 8.1.

Stand back and think it over before you buy

I ordered a new item but I couldn't say which part of the phone is new. It is an AT&T version (RM-983) which is already unlocked. It is actually a black model but with a green base cover, i.e. the frame is still black, not silver. The printing on the box is washed out, just like it is printed from a low-end inkjet printer. There are scratches on screws, battery contact and the tiny sponge to protect the microphone of rear camera is completely teared off. A full-charged battery after restart is always showing 95~97%, never 100%. The vibration is very weak when compared to my another Lumia 830 bought from a retail store; it is hardly feel it. At first, I couldn't download update, it always has "Error code 801881d0" when the download percentage reached 65%. I have tried many times to reset it (both soft and hard), different WiFi stations but still no luck. With the help from the community forum, I download and install the Lumia Phone Test Application Installer that has resolved the problem and upgraded my phone to the latest firmware version. I have got a discount from Amazon to resolve the issue. Since this is my backup phone, I am happy to keep it after the discount.

I didn't think about it coming without a SIM card, but I should have known. Anyway I haven't gotten the sim card yet, but it seems pretty well loaded with apts.

I like this phone more than my Lumia 930 or 1020. It seems to be a cozy mix of both regarding it's aesthetics and features. Running "Windows 10 Official" currently and all I can say is wow! This thing slays android and IOS in terms of productivity and efficiency. I would recommend this product and this seller. Shipping was unbelievably fast.

No 4G/LET service on AT&T and a bad battery drain issue

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm an AT&T customer and I don't get 4G/LTE either on this device. I confirmed with AT&T and the service is available in my area but all I get is H and H+ and they don't know what I'm connected to - even though it still comes out of my data plan. The battery drains incredibly quickly and AT&T says it's because its an unlocked device and not correctly calibrated to work with their network and is constantly searching for signal. AT&T said they can't help me unless I get one of their phones and directed me to Nokia that also can't help without AT&T's configuration info. The "fix" adding IPv4v6 made the internet APNs made the drain worse and I'm wondering if I should wait it out or return the phone...

I love the phone but all this annoyance to make it work normally is not worth it. This has been a huge headache just to get a phone with a built in charging plate...

MID-RANGE PHONE

Not really a good phone when it come to the RAM and also the software is not latest Windows 10. I'm not sure it can be upgraded to W10.

Cannot tell what part of the phone is refurbished

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

This phone arrived in TOP NOTCH condition, appearing as if brand new (I bought refurbished), has great camera quality and response. I upgraded from a Lumia 920 and wasn't ready to go to the current top end of Windows Mobile as yet. Recommend if you are on the fence and still like Windows phones like myself.
