Could anyone answer some questions I have about the Nokia Lumia 520?

Q. 1. How is the music playback through headphones? I use a pair of philips headphones and I know this phone has no settings to enhance music playback whatsoever, is it decent enough? It says it has the same audio quality like the Lumia 720 on GSMarena. Is it good enough for prolonged use? Could it replace my mp3 player (which is a Sony, by the way, with excellent bass) and become my music hub?

2. How is the app selection? Does the 512 mb ram limit the compatibility of apps other than games? I'm not a hardcore app user and I searched for a few apps on the Store and all that I needed were there, and I came across just temple run which wasn't compatible. This pretty much answers this one but I want to know from users who have actually owned the phone.

3. How is the messaging experience on this device? Is the keyboard easy to use? How good is the autocorrect? I would be using Kik, Whatsapp and casual text messaging. How is typing on this phone (in both portrait and landscape)?

4. Does this phone get really hot? I mean, so hot that it seems unnatural after a few minutes of usage? I will be a hard user on it (playing games and communicating a lot). How hot does it actually get?

5. How is the web browsing experience through the IE browser and Nokia Xpress? Does it load webpages fairly quickly? How well does it render them?

6. Out of 10, what you give it for its battery life? When does it drain the most?

8. Is there any way that I could buy maps of any other country on this phone? I'm in India, and its SatNav license will be limited to my country. Could I pay and get the maps for any other country?

9. Lastly, are the inter-changeable shells available yet and how much do they cost?

A big thanks to whoever answers this (please provide some details and your personal experience)!

Extra Info- I plan to use all of the featured nokia provides with the lumia 520, like mix radio and lenses. My most used apps are whatsapp, kik, facebook and twitter on the social front. I would like to try out a lot of games, but I don't need the latest and greatest all the time.

A. Hi there,

1. Music playback will be comparable to most smartphones - average. Your Philips headphones will probably make your listening experience better than those provided by Nokia; but it likely won't be as good as your Sony personal media player. However, it would be a much better music hub - with access to applications like Nokia Music; in addition to your own music collection. You've got 8GB of storage, and it accepts 64GB microSD cards.

2. The app selection is getting better every day - though its still not as good as Android. Unfortunately, 512MB RAM does limit compatibility of some apps (and most of the incompatible apps are games). Temple Run was actually made compatible with Lumia 520 today.

3. The Messaging experience is awesome. It combines texting and MMS with Facebook Chat, so your conversations are all in one place. The software keyboard and autocorrect are one of the highest rated on the market today. Unfortunately, KIK is not available for Windows Phone 8; however, WhatsApp, Viber, Nimbuzz, Skype and WeChat are.

4. Like any device made out of plastic, the phone will get hot if you use a radio (e.g. calling, using the Internet, GPS) or play a really heavy game for prolonged periods. It should never be hot enough to be uncomfortable, but you will notice it.

5. The web experience is great. Internet Explorer 10 is really fast and easy to use, with great rendering of HTML5 and text (no Adobe Flash though)

6. Battery life is excellent for a smartphone - at least a day's usage (if not more) with moderate use. Again, it drains the most using games or using the Internet.

7. Nokia's HERE Maps are built into the phone. On the 520, you can download the maps for one entire country for offline usage, but you can still navigate other countries using a data connection. Otherwise, you can browse the mapping applications in Windows Phone Store if you require offline maps for multiple countries.

8. I'm afraid I cannot comment on the availability of shells; I am not based in India.

All in all, I'd definitely recommend the Nokia Lumia 520.

Hope this helps
