Hello world

I am not going to spend time putting the technical specs. But this is more like a diary of my experiences with Nokia Lumia 920.

I have switched to the phone from LG Viewty which I had got used to since Oct 2009.

Day 0:

I got my Nokia Lumia 920 from Magnet, Irla branch, on 11th April 2013. An unexpected Gudi Padwa offer package worth INR 35899 comprised of the following:

• Nokia Lumia 920 - Yellow
• JBL Micro II portable USB speaker
• SSK Bluetooth Headset - H35
• SSK Power Bank portable charger
• 7 days warranty on any issues with the device
• 1 year national warranty on damage to the software/ firmware

All of this is in a proper bill receipt. The MRP stickers on these boxes is way higher than what it should be and I will not get there.

The sales person even cut the SIM for me using a proper SIM cutter and helped me setup the phone for first use. The part of the SIM that did not get inserted in the phone was handed back to me with the advise that it should be stored in case I need to use it in a phone that does not support MicroSIM. The phone took some time (upto 10 mins) for loading from the SIM. It seemed to have stalled, but it was probably setting itself up. Another piece of advice handed out by the sales person was that I have to charge the phone for up to 8 hours before first use. The phone was at 23% battery when I left the shop.

The box contained:

1. phone
2. SIM door-key
3. Yellow Ear phones with mike
4. White USB charging cable
5. White round Charger 3-pin plug with USB connector
6. Manual

When I came home, we could not resist clicking some photos. Then we unpacked the rest of the contents and plugged it in to charge. It took approximately 2 hours 30 mins for the battery to show 100%.

The traffic sounds in Mumbai did not cause any issues while carrying the speech from and to the phone. The clarity was outstanding. The volumes for the ringer, the speakers, the music and the headset are all controlled using the first vertical button the sides. There are no buttons/ controls on the left side of the phone. The phone felt heavier than expectations.

The excitement kept me awake for longer than usual. I slept listening to a song from Ashiqui 2 that I got from the Nokia Music App.

Eventful.
