Last year’s Lumia 530 might as well be free in this crazy-low-price deal

Posted on November 24, 2015November 24, 2015 by Stephen Schenck

When the Nokia Lumia 530 launched back in July of 2014, it was already an incredibly low-priced smartphone: carriers had it for $80, then $50, and by this time last year retailers were already discounting the phone down to a mere $35. If you thought Microsoft was practically giving the phone away back then, you weren’t far off, but it looks like there’s still some unsold stock to move, and the companies that have it now are ...

Microsoft posts very short list of Windows 10 ‘ready’ phones, but don’t panic

Posted on September 14, 2015 by Adrian Diaconescu

There’s already a whole lot of confusion as to what may or may not qualify for a Windows 10 Mobile upgrade once the platform’s new release will be ready for primetime, and Microsoft is sure not helping clear things up by filing a limited number of Lumia handhelds under “Windows 10 Ready” in its British e-store, and “Windows 10 Eligible” ...

Yes, Windows 10 Mobile takes up at least 5GB storage space

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Adrian Diaconescu

It was only a couple of days ago that Microsoft silently updated a Windows 10 support webpage to contain a key piece of information according to which 8GB of internal memory will be “required” for Lumia smartphones to run the operating system’s mobile flavor.In case you didn’t get the memo, or chose to ignore it, hoping it’d turn out to be an innocent typo, Redmond is back with clarification on the matter. A separate section ...

Microsoft may not have a Windows 10 Mobile update on deck for the Lumia 530

Posted on August 25, 2015 by Adrian Diaconescu

The general release of Windows 10’s mobile edition is rapidly approaching, even though a precise deadline hasn’t been pinned down, so a certain restlessness among owners of older, humbler Lumias is natural.After all, Microsoft never issued a comprehensive list of smartphones with Windows 10 Mobile on the way, currently promising a first wave of upgrades for the Lumia 430, 435, 532, 535, 540, 635, 640, 640 XL, 735, 830 and 930 on its ...

Posted on December 5, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

We’re already a week removed from Black Friday, but when you factor that in with the subsequent Cyber Monday deals, we could understand if you’re still feeling a little burned-out from all these smartphone, tablets, and wearable offers. But the holiday shopping season rages on nonetheless, and if you’re still looking to pick up some great deals on mobile electronics, you might want to take a look at what’s one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen for a major-name smartphone, ...

T-Mobile, Cricket get ready to welcome Lumia 530 to the US

Posted on October 2, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Summer already seems like a distant memory at this point, and the smartphones it brought us have started to be eclipsed by new models, like the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and now all this Nexus 6 talk. But some of those summer launches have been taking their sweet time getting here, and we’re only now starting to see their availability come to carriers in the States. Back in July, Microsoft announced the Nokia Lumia 530, the ...

Posted on July 22, 2014 by Jaime Rivera

Nokia Lumia 530 shows itself in some leaked photos

Posted on July 9, 2014 by Jaime Rivera

Before Microsoft’s acquisition, Nokia’s mobile device division didn’t become famous just because of the great flagship smartphones that it produced, but also because of the entry-level devices that were pushed at amazing price tags. Such is the case of the Lumia 630 that we recently reviewed, in addition to the Lumia 520 as well. Still, we’ve been following the rumors of the

Supposed Lumia 530 leak compares phone to its Lumia brethren

Posted on May 29, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

What, oh what can we expect from the Lumia 530? The phone first came to our attention a little over two months ago, as little more than a name. We made the obvious assumptions about another high-value, budget priced model like the 520 or 525, but really had very little to go on. Then just last week we started hearing about some carrier interest, with word that T-Mobile might give the handset a home, but once again we were at a loss for specifics. We’ve ...

Lumia 530 tipped for T-Mobile in the US

Posted on May 23, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

If there’s one thing we like more than great smartphones, it’s a great smartphone that’s also a fantastic value. Early last year, Nokia brought us the Lumia 520, which we’ve seen sell for as low as $45. Then in the fall we got the 525 (above), which followed closely in the 520′s shoes while delivering some much appreciated updates, like a doubling of the handset’s RAM. Problem is, the 525 hasn’t been nearly as ubiquitous as the 520; will a new model ever arrive with the ...

Nokia Lumia 530 rumored; our next super-affordable WP model?

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Rumor has it that Nokia might be presenting its latest spread of Windows Phone handsets in just a smidge over a month from now, with a possible event in the works for April 19. We’d love to see that happen, as there are a handful of in-development models we’ve been following lately that we’d love to see go official. Candidates for what might show up have included the Lumia 630, Lumia 635, and the Lumia 930, which we recently heard is how the phone ...
