      I got one from last deal but the sim slot was immediately damaged when I inserted the sim card which came from the phone as well. I sent it back to fonebiz for repairing, but they refused to repair it coz they believed it was my fault. They also refused to send it back. I will keep away from all microsoft mobile product as you wont get the warranty and you will lose your phone as well.

        You shoulda gone back to Woolworths (or Big W, if you bought it from there).

        There's no way they can simply refer you back to the manufacturer as this is definitely a major fault.

        Illegal in fact.

        FoneBiz is used by Samsung, Sony, and a heap of others. They're a pretty f'ing useless company. It's not Microsoft's fault directly but you would be hard pressed getting away from FoneBiz unless you choose Apple.

    Regarding the Lumia 530, try to get one that is made in China and not Vietnam, cos they have a better chance of coming with an SD card.

    • itsfree on 23/11/2014 - 16:50

      How can you tell if buying from Woolies?

      • happychappy1 on 23/11/2014 - 19:50

        It'll say "Made in Vietnam" on the label of the Nokia box.

        However, if the Telstra box doesn't say it, it'll come down to luck of the draw.

        One thing you could possibly do is simply ask to swap it and try your luck again.

        Exactly, people are completely unrealistic when it comes to value for money! There is no phone out there for $40 that works as well for the price. Even the yumcha android phones can't compete for usability, reliability, battery use, etc.

          You post a link to a page full of specs/info in case it helps anyone; you get a couple of negs for your trouble.
          You ask a perfectly reasonable question about its capacity to run aps; you get negged.
          Finally, you respond to goober's apparent frustration by letting him/her know that their post has helped you reach a decision (you thank goober, essentially); you score 4 negs! LOL… this is why I completely ignore negs. Getting a bunch of positives to a comment is nice feedback sometimes, i.e. indicates that peeps agree with you, but re negs, some peeps evidently just dish them out at random!

      I find this phone to run quite well. Everything opens quickly and runs smoothly. I don't usually play games on it but I tried temple run 2 and a racing game and they ran super smooth. It took me by surprise actually. People bitch about the lack of ram on this thing but I think they need to see it in action.

      Yes the viewing angles and the contrast on the screen isn't all that great, but then again, it really isn't that bad either.

      I've owned a few cheap smartphones over the years and they really run like crap.
      I find this phone runs as well as a high end phone, Really worth the $39

      • robertm on 24/11/2014 - 15:19

        I have a 630 and the UI is really smooth once you are in an app or navigating the home screen. The only delays occur when switching between apps. There is nothing out there that can compare to the Lumias at the super-low price end of the market.

  • jakeeo on 23/11/2014 - 16:46

    I have both the 520 and 530

    Honestly, 520 is so far much better than 530 in terms of design, weight and display.

    Unless you with Telstra, I would recommend the 520, on special at HN for $88

    • itsfree on 23/11/2014 - 16:49

      The 520 is good in some specs but worse in some too, slower processor, slightly less resolution, the 530 can hold 128GB, The 520 can hold 64GB, 530 has IE 11, 520 IE 10 Unless it can be updated?

      • 3v3rqu357 on 23/11/2014 - 18:28

        520 can be updated, 8.1.1 on mine. Hell it will have windows 10 on it according to microsoft :)

        Also the camera on the 530 is fixed focus (bad) compared with the 520 which has a normal focus. Both 5MP

      • happychappy1 on 23/11/2014 - 19:58

        I think both the 520 and 530 can do 128GB, just not officially for the former.

        It's just that when the 520 was released, there weren't any 128GB micro sdxc cards available, and 64GB was the maximum size available at the time.

        128GB should theoretically work as they both are formatted as ExFAT.

      • dadeadman on 24/11/2014 - 01:25

        Only plus for 530 against 520 is 54x480 more pixels. Other than that 520 have everything equal to or better than 530.

        Dont be deluded by quad core in 530. Its slower processor than 520's dual core despite higher frequency.

        However one more plus for 530 here is that it cost less than 40 dollars. For that price its great phone.

    • goober on 23/11/2014 - 16:52

      Really, how? The weight is the same. Agree the display is better slightly, but thats it. I would rather the Quad core Snapdragon CPU in the 530 than the dual core in the 520.

      One big difference between the 520 and 530 is that the 530 will work on Telstra and Optus, whereas the 520 will only properly work on one (depending on version).

    • scrimshaw on 23/11/2014 - 18:38

      Yeah. Or a refurbished Nexus 4 but they are kind of terrible with battery performance.

      If you wait a while there may even be Chinese branded phones with lollipop, try Xiaomi for instance. They have a pretty good modding community.

      • itsfree on 23/11/2014 - 18:57

        Cheers. I asked a few friends whether I should buy it, and they all said to save the money for something else (they recommended a Lollipop device). So I think I'll pass – there's no better way to save money than to not spend it!

        • happychappy1 on 23/11/2014 - 20:01
          +1

          Get a Nexus 5. You can root it without risking your warranty - the bootloader is unlockable without a code.

          Miles better than a Moto G IMO, but costs more obviously.

      to see how many are going to buy locked Lumia and unlock code from Bagman. I or somebody else will then email Bagman with the list and try to get some discount, target is $10 each. NO deadline but asap with at least 20 unlock code to buy?

        Being a tight arse is one thing, but trying to get an already low price even lower is crossing that tight arse line I think.

        The $15 unlock from Bagman is already a pretty good deal I think. You can ask Telstra to unlock it for you if you like. They charge $100.

          It's a bit insulting to Bagman, but I figure what the hell since everyone is pushing for a discount because being tight is in our blood. It's not quite as bad as those idiots on Gumtree that keep trying to discount the price on something down to $0 on something you're selling. He can only say No(which he has already).

      Bagman stated elsewhere on OzB, that this is the lowest he can do due to his cost.
      Anyway if he gave it for $10, you'ld be looking for $5 tommorow wouldnt you? Whereas I'm waiting for a $2 offer as I really don't like the Nokia 610 or 530, and sticking with android in future.

    My whiz-bang state-of-the-art Android phone (I adore Android) died, and I sent it back to be repaired or replaced under warranty. In the meantime, I went back to using my previous phone (which I had replaced due to battery issues, but figured would last in a pinch). That also died, on the last day of the previous Lumia 530 deal.

    So I bought the 530 to use while I waited for my main phone to come back… and I'm in love with it. You can remove all the Telstra apps/bloatware and I use Boost so it doesn't matter that it's locked to Telstra. There's only one app I use that isn't available on Windows Phone, and it isn't a very important one, so that doesn't bother me.

    $39.50 is an absolute steal for a device this good.

      Hi aj,

      You just wrote what I wondered…

      So, a Boost SIM will be accepted & work in this- even if left locked to Telstra? For sure?

      I know Telstra owned Boost, but wasn't sure the overlap.

      Ta!

        I can confirm this. It works with boost without unlocking. It doesn't work with aldi unlocked.

      • ajwatts on 25/11/2014 - 17:33

        It does. Just a head's-up that the 530 takes a micro SIM, though - so if you're already with Boost and have a regular SIM, you need to either contact them and have them send out a micro (which will already have your number attached) or buy a micro SIM pack and transfer your number.

          I bought the last one at our nearby W. The girl asked if I only wanted one? I said, "why, do most people buy more than one?"—- she said a guy was there that morning & bought two- lol. So I said, sure- gimme another—> she comes back, "yours is the last one". Dammit!

          Anyway, thanks about the SIM- I'll contact for the micro.

          I have a friend visiting from overseas in Dec. Figured if she needed a temp phone while she's here for whatever reason, I'd activate for the free $10 & top up if required. Then, I'm left with a backup in case my work phone (Sony T2 from OzB deal) dies…

          Cheers

    Does anyone know if these Woolworths telstra handsets work with Aldi mobile simcards? Thanks.

    • BlueElephant on 24/11/2014 - 08:29

      From other comments, nope. Aldi doesn't work without unlocking.

      • ddrex on 24/11/2014 - 21:06

        Correct.

      You don't like your mum?

    • Windows7forever on 24/11/2014 - 11:13

      How can you say that?
      I've been using my 530 as a music streaming device for the past month and it has been fantastic. Are there any known faults? what happened to your device?

    • froodh on 24/11/2014 - 14:13

      My Mum has a better phone than I have!!!

    • ajwatts on 25/11/2014 - 17:34

      That's sad to hear about the 520. I quite like my 530, though. :)

    I bought this phone last month when I saw on Ozbargain that Woolies were selling it for half price because I wanted to try Windows 8.1 and I must admit I'm impressed.
    The hardware itself feels a bit cheapo and slippery with the hard plastic back cover but I got a silicone cover and a screen protector for 5 bucks on eBay and it is now fine. It looks like an iphone 3G.
    It is surprisingly reactive (way quicker than my iPhone 4) and it didn't take long to get used to the Windows OS.
    The GPS is awesome, very quick, with vocal instructions, 3d view of the main buildings and the ability to download maps to use it offline
    Battery life is very good as well, it can do 2 full days with moderate usage.
    Impressed with the Bing vision feature: point at some text and it will translate it in any language you want. I tried french / english and it was perfect, and my mate tried english to greek and was impressed how accurate it was too!

    The screen and the camera are not the best but honestly… $40 bucks, remember?

    • ajwatts on 25/11/2014 - 17:36

      Ugh, the camera. I am happy with really basic phone cameras - I think pics are fine that others complain of as awful and blurry - but even I'm unhappy with the 530 camera. And the back cover? I cannot remove it, even with the instructions. I have to get someone with really long nails to do it for me!

      But I rarely take photos or need to remove the battery/replace SIM card/insert an SD card, so these are really non-issues for me.

        The back cover is easy to remove.

        It's your technique that's at fault - no long nails are needed.

        What you need to do is put your thumb on the back just below the camera lens, while having three remaining fingernails pushing the edge of coloured back case.

        Then push on the back with your thumb while keeping your fingernails in place, and the back will pop right off.

          Or just drop it :D
