Nokia Lumia 822 - User Reviews

  • it does support gsm networks. but you will get only 3.5 hsp+...something or 4g but no lte, and your text messages will go out but but won't be able to receive.(or vice versa)can't remember. this is a well known issue with this particular model. no matter what you do on the settings , it won't work. god him self can not fix it. but hey, you can always use whatsapp. i recommend using a verizon's mvno like page plus. they have improve their plans a lot or verizon prepaid or many others, so you can take full advantage of this cute phone. p.s. screw you microsoft and hulu and other developers for not continuing support for these devices. always on the side of the crowd. for boring iphones and androids. simple minded ....... well peace. bye now.

  • Wait, what??? Are you sure this supports GSM networks? I don't think so for a Verizon exclusive as that would be very weird...

  • see hulu? there is even an update for netflix in the old windows store(8.1) at this very minute.

  • does anybody knows of a client for hulu to work in this phone? the original hulu app finally stop working (not in the store anymore) and nor hulu or microsoft give a damn about their loyal customers. hulu. watch and learn. netflix still being supported in older windows devices like the 822.

  • I forget my password and my charging point is bad what can I do to open the phone

  • This phone is really slow on Windows 10 but fixed it by downgrading it back to Windows Phone 8.

  • the worst fone i ever used... battery is dead, camera is sick...

  • Please am using lumia 822 and they are insisting that i create a microsoft account.i am about creating but i am asked to call my service providers to send some activation codes,i called and they said they don't have, that i should contact microsoft.who experienced this and how was it solve, please i need urgent help.

  • Please am using lumia 822 and they are insisting that i create a microsoft account.i am about creating but i am asked to call my service providers to send some activation codes,i called and they said they don't have, that i should contact microsoft.who experienced this and how was it solve, please i need urgent help.

  • I was having the same problem with my lumia 822 after it got upgraded to windows 8.1... The solution if for you to reset your phone to factory settings in the phone settings....It worked for me. The only other headache I experienced was how to configure VPN for the phone.

  • I think you go to "Settings" then maybe "system", then find "phone update", click on "check for updates".

  • I am having very similar problem as Ozwhip. I was able to click "on" button 2 or 3 times to get slide up screen, but now I have to disengage and re-engage the battery for it to come on. This started happening since reactivating service with this phone after no use for about a year. Verizon store had to give me a new SIM card for update, and I may go back to see if the SIM card is the problem. The phone worked just fine before that, and the battery was thoroughly assessed and has 100% capacity. I also installed all necessary updates to bring current to 8.1 Windows. WTF? Ozwhip, did you get your problem solved? I like this phone and have taken very good care of it, and don't want to spend money on a new phone. Any suggestions out there?

  • How do u upgrade it to window 8.1

  • my charging system got spoilt and i changed it. just after 4 days it got spoilt again. please is any experiencing this too??

  • Hi I'm having a problem with my Nokia 822. The phone was charged then it just shuts off, no display. when the start up screen comes on and u slide up to get the different display options, there is just a blank, black screen. At that time if a call comes in, it will be displayed, but other than that, after the phone goes into safe mode and a call comes in, to see the caller or any pther option, I have to connect a charger cable to operate. Pls help, help, help for the solution.

  • As of yet, there isn't a version of Google Chrome for Windows Phone, although I be thrilled to finally see it happen too.

  • Does this support Google Chrome ????

  • This is correct. Using the Lumia 822 in Sri Lanka, with a Dialog GSM (local carrier) sim and have no issues with it so far. Even got the 'Black' update and doing good. Cheers.

  • How is this phone headset?

  • It's designed to work through the headphone, or an external speaker plugged in to the phone. Otherwise, the sound quality is bad. I was surprised by this, also. All the Nokia phones I've owned in the past had very loud and good sound quality from the speakers on the phone. One of the main reason I've always stuck to the Nokia device.

  • I've never used it overseas, but, from what I understand is that Lumia series from Verizon is a Global Phone which can accept micro-sim card from another carrier when you're overseas. I would check with Verizon just to make sure.

  • Don't know about the other games, but 'Amazing Spider Man' is really quite amazing. Downloaded and playing it on the phone. Really super. And the best part is, for some of the apps (including 'Amazing Spider Man'), you can actually 'try before you buy', which is a really super option.

  • is a good device

  • whats was the price of this phone when u buy???

  • I have been using lumia 822 for a month, and its totally an awesome phone.Its perfect in hand, more than that it is more cheaper than lumia 920 where both lumia phones have reletively the same features. I bought lumia 822 specially for its expandable memory and cheaper price...

  • Internet does not work on a CDMA network, it only works on GSM. There are some advanced software changes, which has to be made so that internet works on CDMA network.

  • Got the phone down (from a friend coming down from the US) and using it now in Sri Lanka. Been about 2 months now and totally loving it. Only issue is, have to get the accessories (the phone specific ones, ie. case, pouch, screen guard etc) from the US itself. On small problem I'm having. Sometimes when I take it out of my pocket (while the phone is locked), the lock screen has become large, huge size and only a small section of it can be seen and cannot unlock the phone, as I cant see the full keypad / screen to unlock and have to re-start the phone. Can anyone please help me on this?

  • I just bought it. I liked it. Its working properly on my local CDMA network.. i have a problem with internet.. Its not working till now. I will check with operator to see if there are any settings I need to change. Other than the internet problem, it perfect.

  • You have to downgrade phone, is the only solution

  • i really want to buy this phone,please help me with some information if you are a user,

  • The phone is SIM unlocked. I have used in in the US on T-mobile, AT&T, and Airfire.

  • Single..

  • I want to buy this phone..so please help me hw can i buy this product..

  • what is the unlocked device price in USA? Can it work on GSM/3G network in India?

  • It's not SIM unlocked, it's global unlocked, so apparently if you take it outside of the US you can use a different provider, but not unless you leave the united states. They will unlock it if your account is in good standing after 60 days.

  • I really love it. My old cell was Blackberry 8320 and I have it for years. It never give up on me even after hundres droppings. I was 100% sure that will get BB Bold. Unfortunaly Verizon doesn't have it in NY stores. Went for Samsung the last model, fancy and shiny. Didn't fall for it. Then I tried Nokia 822 and instantly loved. This phone is easy, advanced and fast. Real engineering creation. I will defintly recommending it. Only downward is the battery life. It has to be charged more often. That is my opinion.

  • Will this handset work in India with TATA indicom CDMA network?

  • what is the real price of this phone in Saudi Arabia 2013?

  • Hi friends, I saw this mobile with the "Coming Soon" status in a few online mobile shopping sites of India. Is it really coming to India ? ? ?

  • Large screen and ease of use are big pluses. However the sound is not good as some people cannot hear caller and caller can not hear person called. The sound can be raised to a level of 10 for calls yet you can have a setting of 30 or 3 times highe for the ring tone sound.

  • there are primary and secondary camera if you read it carefully

  • Please read well!!

  • is this a single or dual sim phone?????

  • wat about sony xperia tx and nokia lumia 822?

  • does anybody know the diffrence between GPRS class B and class 32.

  • i have both lumia 822 and 820 lumia 820 is better

  • i thik so best for internet .

  • i thik so best for internet .

  • Iheartradio is available for windows8. Live radio stations or customizable stations.

  • is this phone gsm or cdma ??

  • is this unlocked like droid dna..or is it locked to verizon

  • is this phone available in philippines??

  • I just got this phone, can't say alot for longevity but I love it. So much better then my last 2 anxroid phones. The live tiles are great, the style isn't terrible. I heard the battery life wasn't great but it works well for me. The Microsoft office is the deal breaker , if you work in an office this is the phone to have. No going back to the office, no having to go on the computer to look things up. This phone is the best buy right now. $49 on Verizon, .01 on amazon wireless . Get this phone and you won't be disappointed unless you are obsessed with playing cell phone video games but that's what a PS3, XBOX OR PC are for! Great phone would recommend it to anyone

  • tell me nokia lumia 822 rate in sadui

  • The nokia lumia 822 is the best lumia phone ever in my opinion the reason why i think that is because in my view this phone and the nokia lumia 920 are the best lumia phones for now and as i compared the two of them i found out that the nokia lumia 822 is better than the 920 and i also recommend this phone for anyone searching for A hightquality phone with great potentiels!

  • open your eyes ! there is card slot

  • I saw this at a Verizon shop yesterday. Good specs, good screen, but seriously it was the ugliest phone in store. Makes the HTC look really good, lol. Verizon needs more diversity from the Lumia series!!! 920 FTW!

  • I am planning to buy this phone does this phone supports mkv,dat or other video files. Android supports any kind of file at 720@30p it is 1080 p so does it supports hd videos

  • Class B for GPRS and EDGE? Another Lumia dissappointment is no radio and no java, and for most lumias, no SD slot. But I must confess that I was a Nokia fan since the days of 5510. Never carried another phone brand. Even though symbian, E6 was an all rounder that I used for quite some time and I was satisfied with it. Now it is time to move on for a mid-ranger like me. Samsung S series is looking good along wiht Sony Ericsson Xperia series.

  • poor!! Good joke..:D

  • Wat a smartphone , awesome specification. :-)

  • to poor to buy it

  • is this phone available in the philippines ??

  • is this phone is double sim phone that is GSM and CDMA? plz reply me...........

  • is realplayer is avialiable in this phone? Plz reply me.

  • Nokia4ever

  • When looking at the nameof the new symbian, anna,belle. I was shocked. Why wear a feminine name. Though its themes nokia picture of green grass. I think nokia will use the name of nature. Hmm .. Nokia smart phones increasingly expensive. Tryto make a simple version of symbian. And provide cool apps in it. Like WhatsApp, gravity, youtube downloader. Etc. Definitely cool.

  • obviously better than asha 311

  • What country are you from? I thought this was exclusive for Verizon US. Can this phone be used in any other country? Have you had it unlocked? I badly wanna have this phone.

  • Nokia is always good.... Samsung cant get its position.. buying the nokia device we can b satisfied...but samsung gives the tension,when will i go to the showroom for re pare it...

  • can anyone tell me is it good phone and better from nokia asha 311?

  • this is a great phone to use but just can't afford it.

  • I actually got this phone today and I'm LOVING it. The amount of customization and performance is GREAT. The only thing I thought about is low resolution, I can tell you I can't notice it, the AMOLED screen is amazing on this device. Everything else its just GOOOD!

  • compare it with i phone 5 or samsung s 3 and u will see the difference. nokia are going back especially in screen resolution etc ...

  • Wow what a phone sorry smart phone

  • ill gonna buy this..SOON..:))

  • My first smart phone. Very user friendly and easy to use. Quality, screan, ECT. outstandibing. This is and excellent product.

  • I am dreaming to have this phone.

  • Nokia windows 8 phone with mass storage, direct drag and drop, bluetooth files transfer, free offline maps, bluetooth contacts transfer with all mobiles and superb internet browser is ready to come back in my pockets after 2 years of terrible itunes experience

  • Nokia and windows phone 8. will rule in 2013 ,android is going to suffer in the market because of its share, go Nokia go . Now its to send android home where it belongs. In my view android is the cheap os in the smartphone market

  • oohh lumia 822 is killing me it is the best to me apart from c7 i will av it somdays

  • Does the 822 have the annoying flap over the charging socket again and have they separated the ring volume and the audio volume so you don't keep forgetting to turn it back up after music etc and miss calls.

  • Wow!! Amazing Deal: Lumia 822 (All colors) for $0 at Walmart with $100 Bonus �Gift Card�.

  • best phone ever in this price 20000

  • Strong features burdened by boring design

  • Its an awsome phone

  • I Like this Phone .....

  • How come lumia 820 has more battery capacity on 2g and lumia 822 has more on 3g? And many other phones also, never understood that

  • nooooooooooooooo very bad phone because andreno 225 there is more power full nokia devices +1.5 krait only

  • Damnnn good phoone but it cost too much.. :

  • let's go for it

  • Yeah, it really is amazing!

  • Wow.....its amazing.

  • Nokia start to mission beat Android!! "Lets Go Nokia"

  • nokia music, much better ;)

  • I love fm radio but its missing here.. Lol..

  • don't worry man. I think windows phone will start to take off in 4 years. IOS will stablezize around at around 20% market share, however Windows will start to cut into androids shares. Windows os >>>>>>>> android os. Android has more apps, yes, way more apps, but still. The windows os is much better then the android os.

  • cool looking phone eh?

  • P.S. The new Nokia devices are blazing fast.. Just try it ;)

  • ...or even better: MeeGo!!!

  • yes , nokia processors is very bad !

  • its a good handset i really impressed on its function...............

  • Nokia use bad and worst type of CPU (ARM , SAMSUNG...), lets see if in this time with this phone , an Good CPU with good performers and Touch acceleration , WITHOUT HAVING HANGING OR JAMMING PROBLEMS !!!

  • great phone but we Nokia fans want something like this in Symbian phones

  • I own an old nokia 6730c running in Symbian v3. I never use 'radio' so why complain about radio on that Nokia WP? For me it doesn't matter coz I don't use it. I guess you just buy yourself a portable radio or a karaoke system,not a Windows phone.lol

  • I dun like their keypads to smallz.

  • this set is nice but we the Nokia fans need something like this on symbian phones

  • this set is nice but we the Nokia fans need something like this on symbian phones

  • android can destroy ur phone believe me! lots of 3rd party app. useless app that can harm ur phone! why other people love to download a lot of app. but they never used it!

  • This phone is very nice and better than android

  • "why no radio?" - because you get Nokia Music instead!

  • very nice specs. I love the phone!!! if i just live in U.S. I would buy this.... And if i have much money. Just wish WP would have many apps like iOS or Android.

  • Why not radio?!

  • mmm... how come the 2g network talk time is less than the 3g network talk time

  • Seriously, who really cares about radio?

  • Errr..., wondering. Will this be exclusively for Verizon, or can we get it outside as well? Not living in the US and do not have Verizon. But this phone looks like a dream and would love to get it. Sooooo..., anyone know if it's possible?

  • Yeah, no Radio is a major downer. Seemingly the only weakness I can see. Think there might be a 'radio application' in the works?

  • I like this phone It looks great

  • No Radio! how can they be No RADIO!

  • awsm specifications....waiting 4 this mobile...

  • It took a couple days for the 822 design to grow on me, but given it has a couple better features than the 820 and 810 (yes, 16GB on-board memory is HUGE) the 822 is at the top of it's class. It's a shame that the 920 variant isn't on Verizon Wireless, but in order for any high-end model to show up on our CDMA network people have to buy it. The 822's performance will determine whether or not we get a better phone. For the price and it's mid-line specs, I'm ready to dump my iPhone 4 today.

  • Nokia 5800

  • Love the design and the specs hope it comes to vodafone i like it better than lumia 820!

  • You see, if you compare this one with the 820, it has corning gorilla glass,, wow

  • I like this lumia

  • it will never be available in india, its only for Verizon network in the U.S. Do you get it?

  • It's awesome, i prefer 822 rather dan 820

  • I love this Lumia

  • is this phone with replaceable battery & dual standby sim or only cdma or both can be used at a time. please clear it. & above all when it will be available in india

  • CDMA+GSM: will Nokia Lumia 822 work in dual stand-by mode? For example, like HTC Desire VC or HTC One XC? Who knows, please advise?

  • me too

  • this is an amazing phone with wonderful specs ;nokia have realised their mistakes with former lumia mobiles and produced a superb phone

  • Is the battery of this Lumia 822 user replaceable?

  • can i get this phone in zamunda kingdom?

  • U know windows 8 handsets and other gadgets will be up there at the top soon. Now, they did get the attention of other users from other companies and that's just all they need as a start to get back in the game

  • it wil nat be aveylabel in indya. .its onli for verison in da yu es.

  • this device is a waste of material. nokia is put out all these wack phones, beside the 920. im just sayin' they got 920 and 820 the gave the 920 to att which was stupid, they try to make up for with that 6 months and the 920 will be everywhere, but it will be old news then and another waste of material to produce more cdma. then im thinkin like why could they do at 922 or something. i could go awhile with my theories and opinions. im just sayin dont settle for these low grade pawned off phones just nokia dropped the ball on the 920. i mean think about it the 920 and 820 have been talked about for months now, right. then out of no where nokia starts throw phones together and naming all of them lumia xxx, dont be sucked people. me myself, im gonna holdout for the windows surface phone 8 with the stock OS. think of like a new car model. never get thte first year of the model let them work out the problems then jump on it. but i could very very wrong. this is just my opinion.

  • Nokia and windows phones are always rock now WP8 is appreciable in market,no doubt I will own this one;)

  • where you from dude?

  • what the hell! :p that's good!!!

  • :( not supported gsm

  • I assume this is their mid end range? phone? looks much better then the 820.

  • Nice phone .. and the best thing is the Windows Mobile 8 .. I have android but that seems good .. very good

  • down voted immediately by android geeks. . oh, the cutest windows phone ever. the specs can be a flagship specs 4 months ago. nice.

  • wow @.@ with card slot(up to 32GB), amazing camera, bigger RAM. I love this Nokia Lumia 822 and I want this one.

  • It has 16gb built in and 1.2mp hd front facing camera @ gsmarena

  • i changed my mind, i think the 822 looks better. 810 looks the least attractive. 820 is ok.

  • out of the three, 820 is still the best.

  • great phone love it go nokia lumnia

  • nice phone....

  • The phone looks ok, but I rather prefer the original Lumia 820 design. What about you people? Lumia 822 or 820 design?

  • looking very nice....

  • i'm the first to comment. .haha. .nice phone
