Best Phone Made by Nokia

This phone is the most Powerful and best Nokia Phone I have ever used. It has all the features which I always wanted to have. Stunning 6 inch Display and 20 MP Pureview camera are the backbone of this product. Watching movies on this display is very pleasant. I cant imagine living now without this phone. My next phone will be a upgraded version of 1520 only.
Pros: Personal, Business

Great all around phone

Let's see, I've been using this phone for close to a year and I still play with it, as if it were brand new. The 1520 has a vibrant HD screen. Movies and pictures look great on this phone. When you set up the transparent tiles the way you want and have a nice background, it just adds to the flavor of who you are.
There aren't many bad things I can really say about the phone itself. It has all the current features of high-end phones just released. The only real issue I have is the low light video recording. Does not even come close to what the 920 could due, but this is something I hope will be addressed in the Denim update. I would also like an option to check all, when I'm deleting items such as, emails or texts. Not a deal breaker, but would be nice little feature to have.
The 1520 can easily get you through the day, with moderate use. (I guess that depends on what moderate means to some.) I love the glance feature and I love the weather feature that can be used with glance, too.
The 6 inch screen isn't for everyone, but if you have large hands or use your phone for entertainment, this phone is right for you. It also has a 20 mp camera for taking great pictures.
Pros: Personal

A daily driver that never leaves you wanting

Had the 1520 for about 5 months now and will never be able to go back to a small screen.
Slick, fast and super energy efficient. The 1520 is big enough to get serious work done but reasonable enough to still fit in your pocket.
Instead of just gushing about the phone, I will give you my top 3 areas to improve upon for the next iteration.
(1) AMOLED screen. All of the screen polarizing ClearBlack technology in the world doesn't hold a candle to the deep inky contrast you can get from OLED. Also, its nice to have Glance on the LCD but I feel like it uses more energy than Glance on my older OLED screens.
(2# Better camera. Since we've already gone all out on all the other specs on this phone, just go ahead and max out the camera while your at it. I know that you are trying to find a happy middle ground between size and performance but I imagine most people using this phone want max performance. Give me that full PureView sensor next time.
#3# Gorilla Glass 3. Now, I haven't really got any complaints about the screen on this device. Surprisingly I haven't got a single scratch yet #and I don't baby my devices). That being said, it would be nice to have that extra assurance that the screen is rated to take a beating. I have had a few gorilla glass two devices in the past and they all seemed to get scratched easily in the pocket with keys or after being in the backpack at the beach. If you thin that gorilla glass 2 is superior for this particular device, just let me know why... I trust you guys.
Lastly, on the note of the glass screen, I have noticed a lot of flex when I depress on the LCD. Much easier to warp the screen than I am comfortable with.

I absolutely love my Lumia 1520!! Set on auto brightness the battery last all day with no worries and that includes streaming music, watching vids, playing games.....oh and talking on the phone. The camera is superb, the screen is huge, and with good size hands its easy to hold.
Pros: Personal
