the price was unbelievable! I can afford but buying too much phone was not practical thinking, other option please!

tyrone · 13 years ago

try LG G2, maybe in a price of 25k to 30k BUT the features was awesome, and probably you should satisfy with this, also they have a Globe Plan, you can get it for only 1,399 :)

joy · 13 years ago

the price was too costly, as a practical person, you can buy phone that rank to 25k to 30k that the features could be satisfy to your lifestyle. life is good.

What is the big deal of having a 41megapixel when it only take 5 megapixel image when sharing your photo to social medias? Isn’t the Lumia 1020 take two images, one I think is 38 megapixel and one 5 megapixel?

edwaine · 13 years ago

Lumia 1020 is available @ 26k (tax included) with camera grip and ntc registered in sulit.

fanatic · 13 years ago

hirap gamitin ng ng windows na phone, mas ok ung LG G2 daming interesting features!

silver · 13 years ago

The LG G2 is much better with the specs.. and it is only 29,990.. i reccommend it more than the Lumia. Check out Globe’s Plan rates for the G2 :)

dimple · 13 years ago

I check it already and you can get it 1,399. I admit, I enjoy all the features of LG G2 especially the audo zoom.

zaine · 13 years ago

my phone is much better than this,,,bcoz my phone has Snapdragon 2.26GHz Quadcore Processor + 4G LTE, 13mp OIS Camera..3,000 mAh Sio+Battery and may more.. hopefully when other company release a phone it should be much better than other phones… btw my phone is LG G2 :) -i just suggesting

zodylogan · 13 years ago

A higher GHz, Quadcore, and anything related to speed isn’t that much important if you have Windows Phone because the software itself is fast and smooth. The camera, I think Lumia 1020 clearly won (btw, it also has an OIS). The 3000 mAh battery is good, but considering the quadcore, battery life is still decreased. I think Lumia 1020 is still a winner her, except from the part where it lacks app number.

wew · 13 years ago

android 2.26GHz Quadcore Processor = lags frequently windows 1ghz dual core = zerolag

thecorresocode · 13 years ago

Windows and Windows Phone sucks balls just like Android. Ubuntu is the best.

crash · 13 years ago

they don’t suck balls. You do.
Windows phone is good and so is android. needs a bit of improvement though. I love my lumia 925 and my dead htc desire s.
Gusto ko matry ang ubuntu phone though. sana maging successful.

zodylogan · 13 years ago

You are criticizing the phone’s price because it’s too expensive. Pero pag yung iPhone ang pinag-usapan, you fancy for it even if it means buying the same phone every year.
Minsan, hindi talaga natin iniisip kung ano ang pagkakaiba ng “wants” and “needs”…
(Don’t hate me for telling the undeniable truth)

wew · 13 years ago

yes youre right pero kilala na talaga sa pgiging mahala ang iPhone dahil sa pangalan…na dapat na di ginagawa ng nokia kasi marami pa ring cons sa windows os ecosystem nila tulad ng lack of apps kaya pag tinaasan nila ung presyo kokonti lng ang bibili

fireice2 · 13 years ago

The lack of apps argument is getting old. Lack of games true, but not functional and useful apps.

booker · 13 years ago

“It will also be available at certain data plans with local networks.”

No details? That is such a vague statement.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 13 years ago

Because telcos have yet to announce the plans. For now, we can only speculate.

justanotherguy · 13 years ago

Sana nga lang maraming apps available sa Nokia, sayang kasi ang ganda ng nokia ever since (quality, performance, etc), but the usual problem kasi they lack apps to choose from. How I wish there will be lots and lots of developer for nokia apps..

Jesson · 13 years ago

I’de rather go with one canon PSA model camera and One Android Phones like Lenovo… Also, wondering why still named Nokia not Winokia bec. it bought by windows.

abu fan · 13 years ago

Tanga ka? Kaya nga ginawa yan para pag samahin phone at cam tas sasabihin mo Bibili ka ng cam at phone? Winokia? Patawa ka po ajejeje tae

Berkanoshow · 13 years ago

Looks like nobody realised that the price announced comes with the free Camera Grip worth 4000. Still a sweet deal than the iPhone 5C in my opinion…

Ken · 13 years ago

Pwede bang bumili muna kayo saka kayo magreklamo hindi yung nagrereklamo kayo kasi hindi nyo kayang bilhin. Losers!

Meego · 13 years ago

maghihintay nlang ako ng second hand sa sulit. Haha

Meego · 13 years ago

naku! Mga pinoy talaga pagdating sa cyberspace. Hindi kuntento pag di mkagawa ng gulo. Kung ayaw nyo to edi dun kau sa gusto nyo.

fireice2 · 13 years ago

meron nga mga bobo na nagbabayad ng mas mahal para sa GOLD Iphone5s. yan ang rich idiot’s phone.

Sir Derpington VIII · 13 years ago

same lang nman ng price ng iphone 5s gold sa black at white na versions, baka ang tinutukoy mo ay ung sa gold ginie which is actual gold yung coating kya mahal.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

NOPE…Gold as in pintura lang…

iDiots are willing to shell out Php70k for a color, for a god damn color

wew · 13 years ago

di naman ibig sabihn na bumibili ka ng mas mahal na phone eh bobo na agad. Accept the fact na talagang isang factor din ang status symbol sa pagbili ng phone…kase kung tanga na ung mga ganyang klase ng tao matuturing narin natin na bobo ung mga taong nagcicriticize na d dapat hyperglze ang ginagamit ng samsung sa phones nila…pati na ung mga taong nagcocomplain sa thick bezels ng ibang phones

fireice2 · 13 years ago

Buying an expensive phone does not taint one’s intellect. But paying ridiculously more just to get a particular color is something else.

wew · 13 years ago

@fireice2 anu naman kung may magabayad ng mahal para sa gold color?eh gusto un ng tao eh di naman nya binili ang iPhone as a “need” kundi as a “want”.

ronald · 13 years ago

I have this. Got it from widget. The camera is the best especially in low light. No need to use flash. The price is worth it. A phone and camera in one. The grip will extend the life of the battery or just get a battery pack.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Even if it’s the best in its class I don’t think Php35k is fair….c’mon don’t fool yourself

anon666 · 13 years ago

kanya kanyang trip at taste kasi sa phone yan. magreklamo ka kung bibili ka kaso hindi eh. pasak mo nalang cherry mobile mo sa pwet mo tapos vibrate mo nang may magawa ka matino sa buhay.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

LOL@ anonbading

may homo-erotic tendencies ka pala, biro mo naisip mo yun?? ahahaha

sabagay, kanya kanyang trip lang yan

vibrator sa pwet> masarap? haha share mo naman samin kung ano naramdaman mo lmao

crash · 13 years ago

Bigat at weird daw hawakan phone na yan. Wobly sa table.
Nokia Lumia phones are nice…as phones.
Matagal battery life, mabilis (di tulad ng android na may occasional lagssss) at simple lang interface.
Mejo magulo settings nga lang at konting apps.
Nakakamiss din yung ibang android features. haha.
Apps? I have my nexus 7 for that. Mas maganda maglaro shempre sa bigger screen.

Sana magkaroon ng magandang update ang MS Nokia. Lagyan din ng switch ang toast notifications at autorotate! Haha.

abuzalzal · 13 years ago

Delusional Pricing Hahahahahahaha

kung Php20k medyo kakagatin pa ng mga gullibles yan

dj0502 · 13 years ago

Ang mahal. Sana magdrop ng price pagdating ng 13th month pay.. Hehe

Ely Valendez · 13 years ago

I was there at the launch yesterday. I can’t help myself but drool over this phone. Though I find it hard to use Windows Phone (I have a Nokia Lumia 800), I’d like to have one of this. :)

jejefrek · 13 years ago

The only thing i hate about nokia ay yung pagtira nila palagi sa apple, as if may napatunayan na ang mga lumias nila! Duh!

Ps. Not a windows phone hater, just android fans hater :p

Nokia Lumia 1020: A rich idiot’s camera

The specs are so 2011…

Cherry Mobile: A Poor Idiot’s Phone
tanga amputa di yan lagdroid dre windows yan windows kahit single core lang at 256 mb ang ram nito almost lag free pa rin ito di tulad ng android mo quad core na 2 gb ram pa naglalag pa rin amp

Mang Kanor · 13 years ago

Wala ka ngang pambili ng muzzle mo, Cherry Mobile pa kaya at lalo na yung Lumia 1020.

Bitch please, ganyan din naman ang iPhone ha.

Libre lang kasi mag-ngawa kaya mo nagagawa.

edwaine · 13 years ago

abuzalzal= A idiot trash talker

abuzalzal= Bobo and didn’t do any research.

abuzalzal= Is a one minded guy that the other part of his brain didnt work.

edwaine · 13 years ago

Bobo, that phone has a 41-megapixel camera, what do you expect sa bulok mong android?

Kahit mahal yan atleast check the specifications hindi puro trash talk.

FYI: If hindi mo pa alam, Windows phone market is already rising. Beware kung malaos na yang gamit mo.

apolfanboy · 13 years ago

Tama lang ang Dual core sa WINDOWS 8 phone kasi kunti lang features nito di tulad sa android.. at saka ang papangit nang apps nang windows phone.. :D

wew · 13 years ago

ulul kaya ok lang dual core sa windows ay dahil optimized to sa OS nya…hindi kaunti ang features ng windows bobo

Butch Tamayo · 13 years ago

Kung camera din lang naman ang habol, bili ka na lang ng dslr.

edwaine · 13 years ago

hanap hanap sa sulit merong mas cheaper na Lumia 1020. :-)

thecorrescode · 13 years ago

Windows and Windows Phone sucks balls just like Android. Ubuntu is the best.

edwaine · 13 years ago

heres another troll.

Magsama kayo ni abobo.

nap · 13 years ago

Hay ang mahal. Sa susunod na labas na lang… Or dun sa (kung meron man) tatalo or will come close to the imaging capabilities na lang.
Medyo off topic: Bakit kasi parang laging miss ang mga Sony mobile sa imaging eh…

dawn · 13 years ago

Hi if imaging ng sony ang problem u do check out sony’s qx100 and qx10

nap · 13 years ago

yes, actually I’ve read reviews of the qx100 but it’s way too expensive (the qx10’s a little cheaper but hell still worth another mid range phone)! Doubles the price of the phone actually. And the implementation is flawed. It eats up battery (via wireless connection), is slow shot to shot, and adds more than an inch to the phones bulk… so really. NO. Hehe Pero pwede silang gamitin stand alone, wala nga lang view finder. Still, at $499… impractical kahit ganu pa kaganda ang IQ. (And at the size and price, baka mas ok pa na bumili ka na lang ng medyo high end small camera like canon’s s120)

wew · 13 years ago

mejo lumaki ata ulo ng nokia…bat nyu tinaasan ung price baka magaya kayu sa blackberry di pa nga kayu nakakabawi eh kahit sabihin natin na libre na ung camera grip di naman lahat gagamit nun.make this max of 30k bebenta to panigurado pero at 35k???masyadong mahal para sa isang phone na kilala sa pagiging affordable ang presyo sa lumia line.

nap · 13 years ago

medyo wala na rin naman silang babawiin. nabenta na nila ang phone division nila sa microsoft. Last Hurrah na to ng ‘Nokia’ Lumia. (next time, microsoft lumia or lumia na lang…)

wahaha · 13 years ago

kaya nga 35k xa kase may kasamang accessories na camera grip tska tripod.. basa-basa din pag my time

wew · 13 years ago

@wahaha tanga lang?oo alam ko na may kasama na siyang camera grip pero tulad ng sinabi ko nung una,di naman lahat gustong magkaroon nun at di naman siya essential unless youre really into photography pero wala kang dlsr at pwede na sayo ang smartphone.

Mr. Curious · 13 years ago

if only Nokia did what Jolla has done about their OS’s compatibility with android apps. My god even with that stiff price, these babies will sell like pancakes (if only hhaha)

Aeon · 13 years ago

Way too expensive on that price point IMHO. I’ll buy it na lang siguro next year haha.

Justin · 13 years ago

So it’s got a great camera…. but for P35k?!?… no way! Good luck selling those babies, Nokia!
