has anyone bought theirs? Well, I have been using mine and its been good but I can say that it can't survive heavy browsing and I plan to get an auxiliary phone just for that purpose.

It has front and rare camera that gives good photography. One of the features of I love is the ability to make a magazine cover of your photos.

It can take snapshots of your screen by holding the volume and power button at the same time. Images stored can be uploaded to any website like it's done on PC.

I haven't explored the apps much and I have only downloaded just one, which it musixmatch.

It has the news feed where you can get all the news around the world from. I avoid visiting CNN cos of their videos is always playing and I can't seem to pause it.... my MB dries up fast.

if anyone has bought, they can share... my eyes need sleep now.

I read reviews about this phone on GSM arena and the complaints there were much. the two major ones I picked out were
1; the fonts grow on there own. and u can make them smaller unless u reboot the fone.
2; Something was said about the camera zoom. like it doesn't work well.
3; Then the screen sensitivity.
the problem is well known as Microsoft released an update to take care of these issues.

What has been your experience regarding these problems?

Yes, I have noticed that the font increases but that when, so I think, when you mistakenly tap somewhere. Though I too have to switch off and on to get back the normal font.

I am not so sure whether there is a feature for camera zoom but I will check.

I am not too pleased with the screen sensitivity. Sometimes it over react to a tap when I am typing. When I visit CNN for instance, I cant pause the video... so I often exit to safe MB.

I wouldn't even advice it...Microsoft must be stupid. They haven't solved the little problem plaguing 535 they are on 532... The. Screen responsiveness is what I really don't like. Sometimes. When I try to Swipe, it's Fonts increase instead of swiping or it will be dragging as if it's resisting your motion.

Re: Microsoft Lumia 535 Users Thread by Manager264(m): 6:47pm On Jan 18, 2015
The so called Microsoft Lumia 535 "was" a big disappointment, a waste of money and a big blow to the almighty Microsoft. Bought mine the 2nd day it got to Nigerian market(23rd Dec.,2014)I managed to use it for just two weeks before it eventually "died".
I have to return it to Nokia Care,promised to fix it,and it would be ready in two months time.

Issues observed:
(1) Touchscreen insensitivity
(2) Sudden screen zooming and failure to normalise except you restart.
(3) Slack back case
(4) Strange vibration
(5) Screen fade, this was the last issue experienced,and I have to return it immediately.

Good Sides:
(1)Very Good Camera, both primary & sec 5MP.
(2) Screen size, 5 inches
(3) Standard free applications
(4) Great colour concept
(5) Very slim
(6) Light weight
(7) Good batery
(cool Does nt overheat,unlike my substitute BBZ10
(9) Came with latest OS, Windows 8.1
(10) Great browser,worked well with my yahoo mail that had been so frustrating over the years.

DECISION:
I forgive Microsoft,afterall the phone was just their first phone produced since the acquisition of Nokia Lumia,and they acknowledged most of the issues and promised to fix it via updates.
I can't wait to see my "New updated Lumia 535 in two months time as promised by Nokia Care. Peace!
