Wish Nokia would just own up to their Biggest Mistake Ever (going with Windows) and go full-on Android–which is what they should have done from Day One–not some dipping-the-toe-in-the-waters half-baked semi-proprietary version.
When (if) that day comes, I will again consider buying a Nokia.

Sir, have you found a way to sync Google contacts with the Nokia X line of phones without having to root the device? I would be very interested to own one if you show us how to. Thank you! :)

What I’m concerned about is its durability. Touchscreen android phones have usually been known to be fragile.

However, Nokia’s touchscreen Lumia, proved to be a Nokia after all. Sobrang tibay. Matibay din kaya ito? Kahit low specs basta matibay, I’ll buy. Haha.

Ilang beses ko nang nabagsak ang Lumia 1020 ko pati Lumia 620(Already sold it), and they proved to me that they are durable. Hope that this units too are the same.
