Nice Phone, at last we are starting to get some cheaper Windows Phone 8, phones announced. If it was £150.00 that's not bad compared to the HTC 8S at £225.00.

CNET, Crave wrote:The Lumia 620 sports a 3.8-inch screen with a resolution of 480x800, giving you a very respectable 246 pixels per inch. There's a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a front-facing camera for video calls.
Doing the grunt work is a dual-core Snapdragon S4 1GHz processor with an unimpressive 512MB of RAM. There's 8GB of storage for your music, movies and apps, but happily you can add up to 64GB with a microSD card.
Powered by Windows Phone 8, the little brother to the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 includes a customisable home screen with resizing live tiles, as well as the City Lens augmented reality app and Cinemagraph and Smart Shoot camera features.
The phone comes in an array of pretty colours, including lime green, yellow and pink. Nokia offers interchangeable shells to change the look of your 620, including orange, green, turquoise and white. They come in matte or shiny finishes, and some are semi-translucent, so you can put different coloured shells on different coloured phones to create a rainbow of colour effects.
UK price has yet to be confirmed, but the new Nokia is expected to cost around $240 (£150) in the US. It goes on sale in Asia, the Middle East and Africa in January, to arrive in Europe "quickly" after that.

Which specs are better ? The processor is dual core and most other things are either the same or worse.
Processor, SD slot. Display, RAM is the same. Those are the things I care about.
It runs WP8 which the L800 will not.
I would expect it to be about £200 inc VAT. So its unlikely to have much of an impact on the low budget part of the market. They should be aiming for £100 like the Huawei Ascend G300.

Bargain of the week!!! , if I didn't have an 820 get one myself!
It's a steal for the money. If I didn't have 920, I'd seriously consider it. It looks nice and has an SD slot, too.
I bought the Nokia Lumia 620 today. I've tried finding out how to lock the phone with a pincode like I have done with all my other phones but I can't find how to do it? Is it not possible to lock these kind of phones? At the moment there is no SIM card in the phone.
Thanks.
Settings > Lock Screen > Password (Right at the bottom)
(Assume it's the same as my Lumia 920)
Phone -> Options -> Settings -> SIM Security
(assuming it is the same as my 820)
Thanks. That works if I want to unlock the screen after a period of inactivity but I was hoping to find a code that has to be entered when the phone is switched on.
I couldn't find 'SIM Security' on the phone. Maybe there has to be a SIM card inserted for that to appear.
Problem solved. At first I didn't switch off the phone after activating the screen lock but after your last reply I gave it a try and the phone does indeed ask for a PIN to unlock the screen.
Thank you.
The problem i've been having is that the power, auto reset, volume and camera buttons are no longer working and I need to send it to be repaired but i'm reluctant to do this until necessary info is backed up. I've managed this with my contacts and photos but I really want to back up my text messages as there are some i want to keep as they mean a lot to me.
When I go to the settings and then back up it says back up is on and is saved to the cloud. I realised that the cloud is skydrive and outlook but nowhere on either can I find them and according to online support forums it's a hidden setting and the restore will happen when I collect my phone but this isn't good enough for me as I want to see where it is...
I have also tried downloading Nokia pc Suite and Nokia Suite as well as Zune. I know that Nokia suite works because I managed to back up the info from my old C7 phone including texts but i just can't with my Lumia 620. Does anyone have any ideas or tips or anything at all that might be of help please? Thanks very much.
I had an HTC 8X windows 8 phone with the backup setting enabled. It got stolen when I was mugged. I then bought a Nokia Lumia 920 and the text messages re-appeared on there auto-magically.
In fact, initially my phone had trouble syncing with my account because there was oodles of data to pull back on there but it was alright after a night on the WiFi.
