    If you already have several good phones, it's a waste of money to buy this one. Could buy something that you actually need with that $39.50 instead.

    Consider this: you're spending about $40 on a locked phone, then another $15+ just to unlock it, not to mention extra $$ on a MicroSD card if you don't already have one (basically a requirement, since there's less than 2GB free out of the box).

    All up, its at least $60 (if not more), and it'll still have Telstra branding and the screen will still be crap.

    • unity1 on 27/10/2014 - 19:41
      +1

      So if you unlock the phone from Telstra, do you still have to wait for Telstra to release software updates or can you then receive official Nokia updates?

      • happychappy1 on 27/10/2014 - 20:21

        You'll still have to wait, as it won't get rid of the carrier branding, unless you find a way to reflash the firmware to "country variant" (i.e., generic). Not sure if the Windows Phone Developer Preview will work though - if it does, it'll give you the latest software features.

        Yep, if you don't already have a good phone spare. Otherwise, you could just buy the $5 Aldi SIM without the phone. Just remember to keep the battery topped up.

        • illumination on 29/10/2014 - 22:20

          Keep in mind Boost too. They use the Full Telstra NextG 3G network, which means better distance in country/regional areas and faster internet speeds. They do a 30 day unlimited for $40 with 2 GB of data and unlimited 15 day with 1 GB for $20. Make your calls on 15th day to stretch it out to 31 or 32 days if you can live a day or two without service, only incoming and app messaging and viber calls on wifi.

        • eug on 30/10/2014 - 01:24

          @ozhunter68: Another thing to keep in mind, someone reported their 530 not working with Aldi. That means it's service-provider-locked rather than network-locked… at least his batch was. If so, it won't work with Boost either.

    Laugh, this is totally useless to me. If you ever tried Windows Phone, you will know why NOKIA was down.

    Hardware may be OK. But software…. so poor. You cannot expect many apps like in Android or Apple.

    If no apps, what is the point of buying a smart phone? As a mirror or MP3 player? Come on, a MP3 player, on eBay, just $2.

    You'd better buy a better HUAWEI Andorid phone, like G7, super value you get at relatively low price.

    A few cheap phones just make your pocket like a bin.

      Windows phone performance on low end phone is great.

      A smartphone does not mean just apps. Its more than that and there are not many important apps left which are not available on wp. No apps argument is old and app gap have reduced a lot.

      If you can find a phone under 40$,and can perform equal to this phone. Plz do tell us.

      • happychappy1 on 28/10/2014 - 03:10
        +1

        If you don't have any phone, and this is all you can afford, then this phone is a bargain, no doubt.

        It's great being able to install apps on an SD card, and HERE Drive+ is also great (though I wouldn't count on it being for life —> I read something about them winding back development on Windows Phone).

        However, I wouldn't say that Windows phone performance on low end phones is 'great', as once you start using it, it lags all over the place ("loading…." —> e.g., Skype).

        My experience on the Huawei Ascend G526 (bought for $99) is much better. Rooted and with the Google Now Launcher, it looks and feels almost like stock android. I would say the performance on the G526 is much smoother and more consistent than the Nokia 520 which I owned (Skype always lagged when loading, and I had random key tones, even though I turned it off).

        So, if you can save up a bit and get a decent Android phone, you'll be way ahead in terms of features and overall experience. Remember, that $40 is only the starter price, as if you want to use it fully, you'll need a decent sized MicroSD card. These add-ons add to the cost, and for not much more you can get much better phones.

        Here are some of the things I can do on Android that I can't do with Windows Phone:
        - Watch TV from my HD Homerun units (either on their own, or through TVHeadend backend).
        - Use official Google apps (e.g., YouTube, Maps, Keep).
        - Watch ABC iView
        - Have a PDF or eBook reader read aloud to me (also the ability to edit).
        - Block ads

          I have not used g526 but I have some experience with low end android phones. Ics and jelly beans are no where close to low end windows phone.

          I have used kitkat only on high end phones. I have heard that its good for low end phones but kitkat dont allow apps installation on sd card. Doing so reduces lags and crashes.
          You need to root your device and flash different roms and kernels to fix that. Something most users dont bother to do and doing it first time can take hours. If you consider side fixes than there are many unofficial apps on wp too. I dont know many but you can use all google services with unofficial apps.

          Os fights and which device is better is argument for different websites. For ozbargain, You are saying to spend 2.4x times money and get better thing. Why not instead of 99 spend 250 and get Better device. Thing is 40$ for a smartphone which works very well is a bargain.

          @dadeadman: What I was saying is, if $40 is all you want to spend, and want to remain on a Telstra network, then by all means, this is a good option.

          However, if you're wanting a better experience, it would be wise to save the money and put it towards a better phone. Android Jelly Bean was all about smoothing the UI ("Project Butter").

          How difficult it is to root depends on your phone - some need the bootloader unlocked. On the Huawei, all I needed was to download the Framaroot apk from XDA and then run it on my phone. It was that easy.

          The Nokia Lumia 530 has a few major drawbacks —> the biggest being the screen, which is TN (i.e., poor colours and narrow viewing angles), and has a relatively low pixel density.

          I have a Nexus 5 as well, and I can say that it is a much better experience, not only due to the speed or the screen, but also the number of apps available. If you get a higher end Windows Phone (e.g., 1020), you'll get a better camera, and it'll be smoother. But there will be many apps unavailable. It really depends on what experience you're after.

          [@happychappy1](/comment/232936
          Ok. Agree with you except for rooting part. It is easy to do but many ppl are scared of close to 0 percent risks involved. Finding right images to flash etc. Someone with no knowledge about rooting (like 95% ppl) will have lot of trouble.

          I own a 1020, 630(ozbargain deal. Don't need it but cant let the deal slide) and I used to have nexus 5 too. I have no experience with 530 but have used friends 520. Mostly performance is equal to 1020. Sluggish performance only when using too much ram. That is why I think wp performs great on low end phones. Maybe you have got some bad experience.

        • happychappy1 on 28/10/2014 - 13:38
          +1

          @dadeadman: It's ridiculously easy to root the Nexus 5. All you need to do is download CF-Autoroot for Hammerhead (i.e. Nexus 5), then run the script for your OS.

          One thing to note is that the bootloader needs to be unlocked (CF-Autoroot does it for you), and when the bootloader is unlocked, it'll wipe the device (it'll stay unlocked unless you relock it, so you won't need to wipe again).

          Not sure exactly what you mean by performance, as if your looking at benchmarks, the faster phones will have better scores (e.g., Sunspider java benchmarks will show significantly lower times/ms). If you mean smoothness of the UI, Jelly Bean phones will perform just as well when everything is loaded up (just like Windows Phone, which can lag in the same circumstances). It's when you run too many apps in the background that it'll start to slow down. Windows Phone mostly just hibernates apps, but when they resume, the lag is noticeable (like iOS).

          Keep in mind that the Windows Phone can't do much due to the lack of apps, so it has less opportunities to lag. But I can tell you that Skype is a very laggy app on WP.

          @happychappy1: I think rooting an Android device is way beyond what the average user would be comfortable with… these people become confused when looking at directory structures in Windows Explorer and setting up favourites links in Internet Explorer :-) Sure, rooting the g526 probably would result in a smoother UI but most people won't be able to do it.

          Thanks for the info regarding rooting however. This could be the best option for the tech savvy.

        • happychappy1 on 29/10/2014 - 20:34

          @robertm: Rooting is beyond the average user if they are ignorant and refuse to read and investigate.

          Everything can be learnt, by simply Googling and reading installation instructions. For the Nexus 5, rooting involves using the included script, plugging in the Nexus or other similar device and enabling USB debugging mode —> doesn't take a rocket scientist.

          G526 is good simply because it is cheap and has dual 1.2 GHz Krait cores (similar to Cortex-A15). It's even easier to root the G526, just install a program and run it.

          You say that rooting results in a smoother UI shows you really don't understand what 'rooting' is.

          'Rooting' = grant 'root' permissions (i.e., ability to read/write to the root director, or the lowest level in the drive aka '/').

          By rooting one is able to have better control over the device, and what runs on it.

          For those who don't own one, the G526 is already very smooth, without rooting, due to its almost stock Android interface (no heavy skins, not much bloat except for carrier programs etc.).

    Was thinking of getting the 630 for the mother in law, but seriously tempted by this price tag on the 530. To those who have the 530, does it look as cheap as they say in the reviews.
