Nokia Lumia 930 - user opinions and reviews

I've been very happy owning a Nokia 930 for 8 months now.
Here's my story..
After possesing an iPhone 3gs, followed by a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it was time for a new handset.
Because I would own it for 2 years I really wanted to make a good decision. A couple of months comparing differtent flagships finally made me decide. The Nokia 930 was a winner because of the camera specs and I very much liked the design.
I was really nervous about missing out on apps but after a fews days I noticed I didn't miss out on anything. If the original app isn't available a third party app comes to help.
Although I bought the phone because of the camera, this WAS the only feature that was really disappointing. Launching the camera app was very slow and the quality of the pictures was disappointing.
After the Denim update this all changed. The launch time is great and also the quality of the images is great. With Frame Selection you don't even have to take pictures, but just have to film and select an image to your liking afterwords.
I don't want my story to be too long so here are my pros and cons:
PROS:
- Camera, speed and quality.
- Dedicated camera button (while taking the phone out of your pocket, you can press the button and start up the camera)
- Screen, so beautiful, still very good in direct sunlight
- Reception
- Ability to download maps and navigate through GPS (no data usage)
- Torrent downloads: without jailbreak i've downloaded a couple of high res movies through wifi within 45 minutes!
- Tap screen to activate
CONS:
- Power/button is to small. It makes it hard to turn the screen off
- Weight: the phone is heavy and nog well balanced. Falls out of your hand easily
- Slippery: the screen and back are sooo slippery. This makes it a challenge to hold the phone, although I've never dropped it.
- Whatsapp integration: URL and Video sharing through Whatsapp isn't as easy as in iOs and Android. Update please!

The back heats up bu a is a little warmer than I'm used to but guess what all my other phones heat up too. Definatly only seens to heat up when playing games and charging so nothing big there. Defo think you have something going on cause battery wise this pisses all over any of my iphones past and present.

Actually I can't find the option for background apps in settings. You can press the back button for 2-3 sec to enter multitasking menu and close the opened apps running on background (e.g. Messenger, facebook, Lumia camera some times stay opened even after you exit the app)

What... moreMicrosoft has made some development tools that will allow developers port their apps and games written for android/ios to windows 10 with almost no effort. So this will close app gap on windows store. Until now, Candy Crush Saga is the only app ported from ios to windows. You can search on Windows Central site for more info.
