I am delighted with the outlook integration of my Lumia. In my experience, for Android I often faced issues with calendar sync, meetings used to appear on phone irregularly, emails were okay. But never had this issue on my Lumia, moreover the Lumia Outlook interface is feature rich and has many improvements over the android interface like on meeting you find a one touch button that will reply to all participants that you will be late, and so on.

Regarding deletion issue that you are facing, check your sync settings, usually there should be a setting that tells it how many days of emails in the past it should download, if it is 1 day and todays's downloaded emails will be deleted tomorrow automatically from the phone. I do not have handy picture from android but I can post screenshots of the setting from my Lumia.

On the aspect of connecting, there can be two ways, if it is corporate email then if your Outlook Web Access url is mail.abc.com then (for outlook 2010 server onwards) your email server from mobile will be m.abc.com. Otherwise if you corporate supports imap then use imap settings. Most important pop3 is less secure from imap so if there is a choice go for imap only, of course if you can connect using Exchange settings directly (first option) nothing better than that. Some corporates require you to get permission first for enabling accessing email from mobile devices. If it is any other email like gmail then go for imap route.

Any Lumia 630 users ???

I have been seeing some horrible stories about Lumia 630.

Nokia LUMIA 630 dual sim CALL AUDIO issue - Microsoft Community

Nokia Lumia 630 Bugs and Defects - Page 3 - Windows Phone Central Forums

Does anyone know how to utilize the full potential of the camera in Lumia? In my Lumia 720 the camera is 6.7 MP but when I take out a picture the resolution is not like 6.7 MP, files sizes for a 16:9 image comes to around 300 to 400 KB. Read somewhere that built in camera app has this limitation so installed Nokia Camera software separately yet no change.

Have any one resolved similar issues?

The picture quality of any mobile phone cannot be compared to a basic digital Camera irrespective of the higher pixles in the camera as the Picture quality basicaly depends upon the sensor size which is bigger in any digital camera. with my personal experience, the only camera phone that can be compared with a Digital camera is Nokia Pureview whose sensor size is compared to a digital camera.

Camera in Phones are just for clicking and posting it in social media. If you view it in a TV, you can see the real quality. Else you should have a real steady hands and pictures are taken in good light condition.

I had read this article Nokia Lumia 720 camera introduction and sample images before purchasing and one reason to buy Lumia 720 was for the best camera available in a budget and with a bigger aperture. Even the pictures posted as examples have higher resolution (dimension) than the ones I am able to take.

 

[pakecc]

yes. the best camera available in a "Budget". In real life, we don't have that much of a steady hand for a camera phone because of the phone ergonomics.

And see the sensor size & F no of 808 and others whose F no is bigger than the 808 but with smaller sensor size. And less F no, more light to sensor but to a smaller sensor size

:yahooh, after a longtime i got a chance to discuss about my hobby(was once):yahoo:

 

[haisaikat]

I understand your point of view but my question is in the sample photos the resolution (dimension) is at par with the megapixels but not in my case. If we set aside the size of the image at least dimension . resolution should be higher correct? Want to find out a way of doing it in Lumia 720, not sure what is the missing link.

Yes the resolution will be at par with the pixel only when you do not zoom. resolution cannot be higher than the total pixle, say in lumia 720, 3088 x 2152 = 6645376 = 6.7 mega pixles( as per the sample review). In simple language, Zooming in a camera phone is nothing but cutting the unwanted portion and enlarging to standard size thus the effective pixle size will be less than 6.7 mp of the camera. Same is applicable to changing the mode as 4:3 , 16:9 .

In the review, closeup means always going near the subject and not zooming on the subject. Most of the samples in the review will be shown at full mp shot with steady hands. And definetely, they will reveiw their best snap shot.

I am not getting the full resolution even if I am not zooming.

Are you referring to pictures stored in onedrive (skydrive)?

I'm getting 1.25mb - 1.75 mb size on my 520. its only basic 5mp camera.

I don't have the phone but on the older Nokias you could set the camera picture resolution from High Print Quality to lower resolution.
Check if the camera has a settings option that allows for this.

yes the ones that are adhoc get deleted beyond a week or two after their occurrence but the recurring ones stay. Probably this is in sync with the email retrieval duration

You are the star! Checked with pc and indeed sizes are ~1.5 mb. So it was the email client that was resizing the pics, cam is fine otherwise

I can find these settings in lumia520 -

Option is there only for video mode.
yeah, it was there in old ones(IMHO to reduce the space on sd card).
