Nokia Lumia 520 - user opinions and reviews
This phone is an absolute masterpiece. To this day Leonardo Da Vinci cries in his grave at this beauty. From the amazing 1430 mAH battery to half a GB of RAM. I would give this a 5/5 star review. I also love the fact that the windows store is gone so...
The old windows phone store is now closed, you can't install apps anymore.
Because not all phone versions can use all apps from the store.
