Depends on how they price it. This is the same company that tried to charge $199 for the 525 and all that had was a 512 MB upgrade.

The gutter was the beginning of the end.
Wow @ the Bezel. You'd think with on screen buttons the bezel could be pretty much eliminated
Same with the Nexus 5, it's very odd.
Technically the 520 was listed for $199 as well, though you could already get it cheaper than that from the start. The prices also depend on the region. In the US the 520 was sold at very low prices, whereas the prices never got that low in Europe.
Looks pretty much the same as the 620 and apparently retains the WVGA resolution.
If MS is focusing on lower requirements and entry level phones, that just means our higher powered models will stay "current" a lot longer, which I think is pretty great.
Pretty sure that's sue to that Apple lawsuit against Samsung a while back about bezel size, saying having very little bezel is trying to copy their design.

Based on the picture, the proportions of the device seem a bit nicer (i.e. it looks a bit thinner while also having a slightly larger screen). The edges look a tad cleaner. The colored border looks a bit thicker and more rounded on the 620. This looks a bit cleaner; like the iPhone 5c.
Screen is a fair bit bigger at 4.3" but it looks worse with that big ass bezel at the bottom which is somehow even bigger than the 620
Still looks pretty much the same.
If they can get this in the $150-$250 range it would be OK I guess.

Nah, the bezel looks a good bit smaller.
It is definitely quite a bit thinner too. The shell is thinner too, which makes it look cleaner overall.
They better up the resolution, would be ridiculous if they didn't. Though I have little confidence that they recognise that.
I'm afraid the WVGA resolution might be accurate, but I haven't seen any reliable specs. The rumored specs for the phone are all over the place. The rumored screen sizes alone range from 4.0 to 4.7 inches (I've seen 4.0, 4.3, 4.5, and 4.7). The most recent wpcentral article mentions 4.5 inches.
Your mother.
Worst part of staying up all night for the conference is waking up at 11. Best part is waking up to the 630! Love this evleaks guy.
Here is the story about Evan Blass (@evleaks) including an interview. Really good read.

Lumia 5CThe 630 looks great. If they finally move up to a higher resolution (1280x768) this might be an outstanding device and a great Moto G competitor.
Damn that looks nice and smooth even unoptimized. Can't wait to get that on my 1020!
That says more about how close the 5C design was to the Lumia 620 than about the 630's design.

looks good except that resuming
It happens even on current builds. I blame the apps.

Yeah some decisions are going to have to be made when I decide to get a new phone. I'm currently on a AT&T 920 and use the Qi charger at home and at work. It would really suck to lose that functionality.

No DS Emulators. Plenty of GBA and SNES though.

Nope, and it would likely be extremely difficult on todays devices to make games run full speed without the ability to run unsigned code judging by android/iOS DS emulators.

Before I mess with eBay I thought I'd ask the thread if anybody is interested in an essentially brand new HTC 8X for Verizon. I took it out of the box once to make sure it worked and put Update 3 on it. That's it. The charger, manuals, etc are all there. I want stress that it basically is in perfect condition.
Send me a PM if you are interested.

Photoshop Express as well.
Windows Phone now has all the apps, all the users will surely follow swiftly.
It's a platform for services, nothing more. They're not using Google Play on these phones so it doesn't really matter to Microsoft that they're using Android.
Elop has said in the past that they did consider going Android for what became the Lumia range.
Yeah but it's splitting your resources any way you put it, I can't see them going far with this platform.
I mean after they shipped the Lumia range and then decided that they needed to make Android phones. Google was quite successful at stopping manufacturers from using Android forks by using Google services/apps as a leverage, they could have enforced terms on Nokia on their Windows Phone support as well.
