      I have also removed the branding from my phone as well.
      Though I am still on the same operating system (8.10.12400.899)the firmware is now 01068.00023.14295.43001.
      
      I had thought that now it didn't advertise itself as the Telstra OEM phone it would get more updates from Microsoft.
      
      Are there no updates so far for the Lumia 530 perhaps? I didn't want to register for the developers program.
      
      The problem with my SDCARD and APPS is still there though. If I reboot any app stored on the SDCARD corrupts.
    - S3ISOR on 01/11/2014 - 19:53
      
      @backer: I wonder what's going on with your SD card app issue? I'm using a Sandisk 4GB and the Apps are working fine from it. Have you got another SD card you could try?
    - backer on 01/11/2014 - 20:59
      
      @S3ISOR:
      Have you turned the phone off then on again and tried to launch an app from the SDcard?
    - pufffdragon on 01/11/2014 - 21:37
      
      @S3ISOR: It seems to be an issue with this phone. Quite a lot of people including myself have been having the same problem.
      
      Loading apps from the internal memory was the only solution for now. It seems to be random issue among the 530s.
    - S3ISOR on 03/11/2014 - 09:39
      
      @backer: I just turned it on and off again and all good. All my apps (except the Windows ones) are working fine from the SD card. I wonder what's causing your's not to?
    - backer on 03/11/2014 - 15:27
      
      @S3ISOR:
      Thanks for checking. Could you report back if you notice the problem. I don't know what the issue but it seems to effect some people and not others (or else why isn't many other complaining about it as much).
      
      I have tried 2 different SD cards.
  - happychappy1 on 01/11/2014 - 13:55
    
    Worth it. It's like the real deal now.
    
    Plus you can get the Skype deal which the original version might not be eligible for.
    
    Not much chance of a brick if you read the instructions and follow them closely. Just don't get a power outage.
    
    Only difficulty I had was the part where you had to get the phone to detect by pressing the volume down and power keys. But second try it worked without a hitch, and didn't take long.
    - pufffdragon on 02/11/2014 - 02:09
      
      I accidentally bumped the USB cable half way through the flash and it stopped working. Thought I bricked the phone for sure.
      
      I restarted everything again and it fixed the partition and re flashed again. All went well that time. Phew!
- S3ISOR on 01/11/2014 - 19:29
  
  Thanks happychappy1! I just did this whole process, from backup phone —> download files —> flash. Took about 30 mins, and worked like a treat. Restoring from my back up now without any branding. Awesome! Can't believe how much fun I'm getting out of this $40 phone. :)

  When I downloaded the firmware (section: DOWNLOAD THE PRODUCT CODE) Nokia DataPackageManager asks me "do you want to download also content files". I chose OK. Should I have?

Plenty in Stock in Newly opened Point Cook Woolies, grabbed two… even Hoppers crossing ones got more. Got a call from QV Woolies as well. Seems Melbourne is getting fresh supplied this morning. Hope u can unite with ur bargain buy now ;-)

There are stock at Sylvania but need driver license and limit to one unit for each ID

Grabbed one of these locally, boost works fine with it as it's the Telstra network anyway, Skype gift card works fine too, not a bad deal all up

I dont know if this is useful, but after resetting the 530 phone (About/Reset), using my Aldi sim which just asked for a code on bootup. Now shows the 5bars and 3G symbol, and looks like its working properly.
BUT
I cant get sms's or actully call out. 3G has dns error.
I set Aldi's sms center #, and set correct APN, but not actually is usable.

Any idea why it shows the phone & 3G symbols working, yet nothing actually works?

  I'd say it shows up because aldi use the Telstra network. But the phone will still have to be unlocked.

Got one on the weekend simply to have a play with WP8.1
I'll keep the "device" versus "Windows" parts of the review separate..

The actual device itself is quite good for the price:
+ it's very fast + supports lots of networks and voice quality is as you'd expect.

There are some limitations as you'd expect.. - screen is dated, if you've never had a smartphone then you won't care, but if you're used to iphone 4+ you're going to notice.

Speaker is not loud, and unfortunately when it rings if you're unlucky enough to have it in a bag or flat on the desk it can really be quite soft. Vibrate helps, but not much..

Camera is below par, no auto back-light (great for saving power) and battery is quite small (1 day).
Again, I'm calling out limitations - keep in mind this is a <$100 device discounted down to <$40.

The "Windows" review on the other hand - ouch, the UI is very much a work in progress. I didn't find it intuitive and things like multitasking and even positioning the cursor in a text field was a difficult task. Search is weird - the same icon can search in-app (contextually) and globally, which I felt got confusing. Apps are limited too, but a lot of the 'major' ones are there.. that's not the UI's fault as such.

No Cortana yet for Australia, so I did not test that part. GPS worked well, offline maps took up a lot of space and the initial "update load" was a hefty 500mb. 4GB sd card was included and the way windows uses the sd card is actually better than androids, as you can be very granular as to what gets stored where both during download and afterwards.

It's remarkably better than the windows mobile back in the day, it's usable and it seems pretty stable - but it's still a step back from android/ios, for mine.

  You wont find the UI intuitive until you stop using it like an android or iPhone, then you may find it far more intuitive. Many features are not immediately obvious if you treat it like other OS's.
  
  Cortana is available for Australia in alpha mode, but you have to remove branding or download 'preview for developers' app (which I think needs a subscription not sure) so you can update to the version as Telstra is slow . I have done this and have cortana.
  
  Overall I think it is an amazing buy for $39

Investigation: SD Card Included: Yes or No?

To those that received an SD card already inserted into the phone, is the phone Made in Vietnam or Made in China?

I've seen 3 Made in Vietnam models (Dark Grey with bonus Orange cover), and all 3 didn't have an SD card included.

However, the Made in China (White, with bonus Green cover) did have an included 4GB MicroSDHC card. The phone says it's Made in China, while there's nothing to indicate country of origin on the box (unlike the Made in Vietnam ones, which were clearly marked underneath the MAC address for the Wifi).

The expiry dates for all of them were either 14 or 16 Sept 2016.
