Flagship phone... Still after two years
on July 4, 2015
Posted by: Knighttyme
from Hollywood, FL, USA
This phone is hard to beat, Fast quad core CPU, clean lines, solid construction and a 6'' crisp and clear screen. I've used Iphone 6, Nexus 6 and LG Flex while owning this phone. I always find my way back to the 1520. Ease of use in the Windows OS is why. Plus the speed and size of the 1520 makes it all the better.
Now with Windows 10 on the verge of release, I'm back to the 1520 and it's a new phone again, for the 3rd time.
Pros: Personal, Business, fun
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the best phone I ever had. It features bug screen, showing all details, and games looks real. It's quad-core proc is very fast compared with other phones. It loads apps in milli seconds. Camera is 20 mp, showing all the details u dream with, SD Card to keep plenty of videos, music and photos. I would recommend it over note 3 and iPhone.
Pros: Personal, Business

By far, the best phone I've ever owned!

This phone has it all and should have a long product life with upgrades and such. The only single design flaw is the battery. Even my 810 allowed me to swap batteries. No worries though - the battery seems fine even after a year.
Pros: Business, Personal

My first true 'smart' phone
on June 24, 2015

Had my Lumia 1520 for about four months, does everything I need and much more. At first the size was a bit overwhelming but now I love it. I'm not a gamer nor do I spend a lot of time web surfing with my phone (and I found Google is much faster than the pre-installed IE app), I have yet to need an app that was not available. Great photo quality w/flash, huge text size, can see screen in sunlight and I love that it announces the callers name (or number if not in my contacts). I've always been a Nokia fan but this is over and above what I expected. Found a nice clear gel case and a glass screen protector so no fear of damage from day to day activities. Many friends with Samsung Galaxy phones have expressed interest in mine..plus the neon green makes it easy to find...
Pros: Personal

Best phone I've ever had!
on July 1, 2015

Coming from an Android Galaxy Nexus, this is hands-down the best phone I've ever had. Battery life is awesome, the phone looks and feels fantastic, great performance as a phone and tablet for business. It's also tough, having taken a couple of corner-first dives into concrete with minimal superficial damage.
Pros: Personal, Business

I LOVE THIS PHONE!!

I have had my Lumia for about a year now, and I use it all the time! It's so easy to use. I don't have to use the voice commands or Cortana, but it's an option, and I love to have options. The features are spectacular! I'm not sure how Nokia and Windows is going to beat this one! I may not have all the same applications, and have to wait for those new ones to come out for my particular device, but I won't give up my phone because of that. I also like the fact that it will be updated with the newest OS and other features. If you don't like Windows Phones, I encourage you to at least try it. :)
Pros: Personal, Business, fun

The Nokia 1520 is the perfect size for my daily life
on February 3, 2014
Posted by: Alodar10101
from Seattle, WA, USA
At first I thought the 1520 would be too large. But once I had it in my hand those thoughts were immediately gone. I have a full size tablet, the Surface. But, I don't carry it with me everywhere I go. But I do carry my phone with me. But often the phone is too small for any tablet type work to be done.
What I like best about the 1520 is:
Fast and efficient in accessing Email, Services and the Internet
Sync with SkyDrive
Clarity of the Screen in varied places
Long battery life
Large body, but light in weight. (I come from a 920, and in comparison they are very similar)
32g storage plus 64g card plus SkyDrive integration means I NEVER run out of room

What I didn't care for about the 1520 is:
One of the stock cases I purchased covers the power button to an extent that makes it difficult to access
There are some features from the Galaxy Note 3 that are attractive, like Multi Screen, Stylus, and the Action item with Stylus.
Lack of Wireless charging solution. I know this is NOT a Nokia issue, but I am impacted anyway.

After a week of ownership, I am ecstatic about owning the 1520. I love Windows Phone and 1520 does Windows Phone best.

True Quality

The 1520 is the phone Microsoft should have based all Lumia phones on, when a stranger or friend see's my phone they love it. Most of the time they are impressed with the way it feels in their hand, the camera blows their mind, and the screen clarity is top-notch.
Pros: Personal, Business, entertainment
