Nokia Offers Full Refund If Not Satisfied With Lumia 800 / 710 Within 7 Days

Nokia is struggling in the smart-phone market with only having Windows Phone devices to offer in its high end segments . People are hesitant to buy Windows Phone 7.5 devices after hearing that they wont get the Windows Phone 8 update and due to lack of features in the OS compared to Android .

Nokia has started a new campaign in order to increase the sales of its Lumia series called " Amazing Money Back Challenge" , in which customers who purchase Lumia 800 or Lumia 710 smartphone can return it within seven days for a full refund if they are not satisfied with the device .

For customers who are willing to avail the offer , there is a form on Nokia India facebook page which they need to fill with their name and contact details and select their nearest store .

The phone needs to be in very good condition and along with all accessories and box in order to be eligible to be returned for a refund . Also, the terms and conditions say "Consumers who return the device may be contacted for some feedback on the device. "

So anyone planning to try the Nokia Lumia in this offer ?

Ridiculous, if I calculate interest. Using a lumia 800 for a week will charge rs.350.

fair-play,however there are people who like the ui and the apps which don't crash very often,coupled with a stable experience and a fantastic build the Nokia 800 is a very good phone.
i know more than a couple of blokes who switched android to win 7.5 just because of the stable experience.
 
^^It has nothing inside it to crash, No File Manager, No Bluetooth Transfer, Not many apps (I know it has apps around 100K), If you are on stable ROM then Android also doesn't crash often, Even Belle is better than WP7.5 (just my $:).:)2)
 
It isn't like File Manager and Bluetooth are the reason that Android crashes. My phone runs with bare minimal apps (less than 15), yet manages to hang with things like the browser (stock browser on ICS not anything downloaded from Play), or the Calculator (LOL). Once it even hung in between a call. Android has improved tremendously but it nowhere near a smooth experience.

File manager and bluetooth transfer hardly crash for me.the worst culprits are the browser,media apps and social apps -atleast for me.
Anyways let us not take this thread to the competitive route.

Sorry I disagree.

I had a run with the 808 Pureview today. The phone is built well, and the camera is great.

it stops there. User experience is shoddy, especially after me using an iPad 2 and Funbook on ICS (Android 4.0) for nearly a month. Belle is nowhere near these modern OSes. And please don't even compare it to the stable hill that WP is.
 
^ maybe u didnt like the UI , but dude whats modern in WP7.5 :lol: , even Microsoft agreed that it was an early release with attempt to make customer base . read this

According to the CNET interview of Greg Sullivan, Microsoft's senior product manager for Windows Phone, this clean break for Windows Phone 8 was by design and in fact part of the plan for the platform from the very beginning. Back when buyers were grabbing the very first Windows Phones, Microsoft was already working on Windows Phone 8 for future buyers only.


Why would Microsoft's plan involve leaving early supporters in the cold? Apps, according to Sullivan, or more correctly developers building Windows Phone apps. They needed an installed base to get developers interested in creating apps, so they pushed Windows Phone knowing it would be forked in very short order.

Risky but clever. One week isn't enough time for someone to get fed up of the WP7 'wow' factor and still not enough for them to realise the flaws in it. Risky cause they're not exactly doing well enough to pull off this stunt.

Now here I'll have to borrow the signature of our friend on TE which says "You may be right but I'm also not wrong" so it depends on the user choice, you give me a choice between WP7.5 and Symbian (^3, Belle), I'd take the latter.

and as our resident News Author @RoBoGhOsT quoted WP is still in preliminary stage, let it mature with Apollo or WP8 and then we'll see, I'm not against WP, only fluid UI is not sufficient to use Smart Phones (other + and - of the WP OS are discussed in brief elsewhere so not going into it)
Sorry Mods, enough offtopic for me

Dunno. I loved Belle and WP UI. It ultimately depends on what a person wants.

Honestly I would be bored with the WP7.5 UI in days, but the addition of more tiles and an expanded homescreen with WP7.8 and WP8 is far far better. A few more tiles and sizes actually makes a world of a difference.

Also, the tight integration of facebook twitter now skype and tons of other (essential features) makes WP a standalone platform without requiring half a dozen after market apps to just do the basic things (social networking, etc) we do with every smartphone.
 
Android devices used to hang before. But it seems they have a polished the OS with updates like ICS and JB. I am using my own ICS ROM (designed for myself using partial sources from CM9 and AOKP). I have around 70 apps installed (20% of them are heavy applications and 5% of them runs in a background always). My phone never crashed in past 3 months. I am very much happy with the improvements done by Google developers with Android ICS and JB releases.

Anyways, talking about Nokia. It is more or less POINTLESS purchasing Nokia devices with WP7.5 knowing that it is never gonna get WP8 update. Well, Nokia will definitely try to attract such a usergroup who never really cared of software updates and all. I personally believe there is a huge group of such people in India who just use their phones for basic needs. I was one of them around 4 years back. I never really cared about updates and all. Everyone falls in love with newly purchased devices for like a month. People will love WP7.5 smoothness and UI and they will keep the phone most probably. People having good technical knowledge will think of future proof phone and number of such people is relatively low in India :)
