You'll have to pry off the back cover to access the microSD card slot -- which takes up to 64GB of external storage -- and the micro-SIM card slot. Luckily, Nokia included a sticker demonstrating how the heck to pop off the back cover.
Your efforts will reward you with a revealing look at the 's innards, with the microSD card slot cage to the left of the battery. Does that mean the hollowed-out area on top is for the micro-SIM? Don't be preposterous! You have to first remove the battery, then either pull out the tag that reads SIM or, even better, feel around with your nail for a tiny ledge beneath the microSD card mount and pull out.
And good luck fitting the SIM tray back in its slot on your first try. Here's one last pro tip: When putting the panel back on, start at the bottom and snap the cover on the top of the phone last. Apps and OS The Lumia runs Windows Phone 8, which means that it comes with tools to sign on to multiple e-mail and social networking accounts.
I had no problem adding my corporate e-mail to the phone and, as usual, signing into Twitter and Facebook were a breeze. For the most part, you can do everything on the that you can on any other Windows Phone 8 device. For a refresher, check out my Windows Phone 8 review. As far as what Nokia brings to the table, you'll find its suite of apps, including Nokia Care, City Lens for augmented reality, maps, and Nokia Drive. There are also several camera lens filters available, like Smart Shoot.
I noticed that Nokia Music is absent. Several other apps come pre-installed on the , including ESPN and Angry Birds Roost a hub for all things pertaining to the peeved poultry. As always, these are in addition to basics like a calculator, a calendar, a music player, the browser, Microsoft's Office suite, and the digital wallet. My review unit also contains a few apps specific to the Indonesian market.
One thing I noticed while using the phone is that there are only two intervals for screen timeout: 30 seconds or one minute.
Both are short enough to make having a password lock inconvenient, something that many businesses require as a security precaution when accessing company e-mail on any smartphone.
Camera and video Considering that the an entry level smartphone, I was pretty impressed with the quality of the 5-megapixel images. Resolution won't be as sharp as with the best 8-megapixel lenses, but colors were overall vivid and pretty accurate. I lay out a series of sample photos; in many cases, you can click to enlarge the image.
Others are cropped samples from the image at full resolution. I did notice quite a bit of noise on some shots, especially at their full resolution. However, if you're planning to use photos to populate your social networking threads or other people's in-boxes, I think the Lumia 's images are sufficient.
Nokia is one of those manufacturers that does give you options to change your resolution, but you can select shooting modes for close-ups, night mode, and sports, for instance. You can also adjust ISO and white balance settings, as well as the aspect ratio. It's nice that the Lumia lets you shoot p HD video at a rate of 30 frames per second. I shot indoors and outdoors, and both times, the camera produced video with pretty good color accuracy and smooth playback.

Nokia has known those kinds of numbers and if it wants to get back there, it and Microsoft should be pitching not to someone that already owns an old iPhone or Android, but to the remaining crowd that's looking for its first smartphone. Would the company be willing to lose the high-premium flagship fight? Plenty of phone makers hold on to the idea that their best, most technically impressive products will act as a halo, drawing people to its family of devices, where they will then pluck the one most appropriate for their wallet.
This is probably why Nokia focused all of its attention and arguably, affections on the Lumia at its reveal event , while the lesser was left in a darkened corner of the showroom. But it's more than that: think of those print features that pit a handful of "top phones" against each other. Even here at Engadget we have to choose which phones to compare against just-announced devices.
Were Nokia to focus all their attention on a smaller flagship, would it lose that premium cachet it's built up over the years? Would it get less attention? Something that Apple has learned is that with the highest price comes the highest premiums per unit. If Nokia were selling cheaper handsets, margins on devices that were made to be cost-savvy would likely be even further squeezed.
Should this matter? I don't think it should. Nokia's core smartphone option, Windows Phone, still struggles to claim a meaningful share of the smartphone market. Nokia and BlackBerry are now tragically jockeying for third place -- and even that is a sliver compared to the two frontrunners. It needs to try something different. Until now, Nokia hasn't pushed one of the mobile OS' real strengths: it gets very good mileage on smaller smartphone engines, something that's demonstrated on the Lumia Plus, for better or worse, the lack of intensive gaming apps to push Windows Phones means the two-dimensional titles on offer don't make the most of what's housed inside the HTC 8X or Lumia Many of us just want a good camera, web browser and map experience and these last two are well-served on the Lumia When we jumped into Internet Explorer, the phone responded nigh-on identically to the bigger Lumia phones.
Microsoft's browser might lack the sharing options of Android competitors, but the responsiveness was comparable to similarly priced Google phones. Move on to Nokia's map service and it's still one of the only valid alternatives to Google Maps -- other editors even reckon it's superior.
Read up on our other Windows Phone reviews and you'll find even those initial single-core Windows Phones gave a smooth performance, UI hiccups and weaknesses aside. There's just less need for Android-rivaling processor oomph. Instead of gingerly exploring Microsoft's app store and getting bored wading through the chaff like I did , Nokia has managed to throw in camera apps, like a GIF maker , burst photography and panorama mode.
Then there's its Music service that offers offline music lists for free. These are quickly accessed and some pre-installed through Nokia's curated store -- something that that still has a place on operating systems. The main problem with recommending Windows Phone to those that have already bought an iOS or Android device is the app store continues to lag behind -- Spotify has only just landed on version 8. But if a potential customer's requirements are lower and coming from a feature phone, they likely are , it's less of an issue, especially when a phone like the Lumia doesn't entail a heavy cash payout.
