Nokia’s WP8 devices provide users with features and services that will outperform the competitors. Every Lumia phone comes with free global HERE Maps, where you can get information, photos and reviews of nearby places and it also provides walking guidance to your destinations, including international ones.

With Nokia’s HERE Drive, you can get to your destination with turn-by-turn navigation offered by regional HERE Drive, even when you’re offline, provided you have the necessary maps downloaded already.

HERE Transit provides instant access the get around town using public transportations. I wasn’t able to try if they provide jeepney routes here in the Philippines, but why not? It also give times and estimations on walking times.

Microsoft Office is built into the phone, which can be easily synced with its desktop counterparts.

Lumia 720

The Lumia 720 is Nokia’s mid-range smartphone loaded with the latest Windows Phone 8 OS. Perfect for those who are looking to have a sleek, light and bright device packed with high-end technology all in a seamless unibody design.

The 2,000 mAh battery is enough to last a day or two of medium use. Not bad for a mid-range smartphone. Weighing only 128 grams and comes in a variety of bright colors, Nokia pushed the boundaries for this affordable mid-range smartphone. You can also buy an accessory to be able to charge the Lumia 720 wirelessly. Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, how it works. (Not at the molecular level though.)

Lumia 520

If you’re just looking to try out Windows Phone 8 and don’t want to break the bank, Nokia offers the Lumia 520, which brings the Windows Phone 8 experience at your fingertips at a low price. This is where Nokia delivers on “œhigh-end innovations made affordable”. You can take images to the next level with the use of built-in software to enhance the usability of the 5MP camera at the back.

Digital camera lenses provides more fun way to capture pictures. Cinemagraph adds motion to still images that can then be shared with friends on a number of Social Networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, or share it through e-mail. Smart Shoot lets people create the perfect group picture, which takes multiple images, selects the best facial expression from each and even remove people you don’t want to be in the shot. Photobombers’ days may be numbered.

The Nokia Lumia 520 retails for just Php7,990 and is available in yellow, red, cyan, black matte colors, or a glossy white finish.
