The best phoone I have ever used.

Had iPhones 3 to 5. Got sick of the proprietary environment and they got boring. Went to a Samsung Galaxy Note II. Got sick of waiting for Android updates (14 months without an update!). Went to the Lumia 1520. Best phone by far. Surprised at the battery life (much better then the Note II). Love the Microsoft integration: office, xbox music, etc. It is not too big. Once you use it for a while you will be surprised at how small the others are rather than how big the 1520 is. Camera is fantastic. Display is great. Love this phone. Only negative is that some of my favorite apps are missing (flipboard, schwab, etc.). Still, I haven't regretted switching and can't imagine ever going back to apple or Samsung.
Pros: Personal, Business
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing phone with plenty of screen to spare. Coming out of an iPhone for the past 5 years, I was a bit hesitant but have not missed my iPhone at all. Can't wait to see more apps become available along with more accessories. Great device.

This device is the one I had been waiting for. I would have gone with the 1020 if it had been a 1080p device. But the 21MP camera on the 1520 is MORE than adequate for my needs.
Yep it's big, I have big hands. Hands free calling is made better by the fact that it is large. Plus the size allows for a giant battery and incredible life.
It has the apps I need at an IT consultant.
OH, BTW...eBook reading on this device is Amazing!! I never thought I would read a book on a phone.

What phone do I get after this?!

The Nokia Lumia 1520 has been with me for a little over a year, and it's been the best phone I've had so far. After you get used to the size, you will have no problems with it. Watching Netflix and videos on the big screen is great, btw! Excellent camera and way faster than the other Windows Phones I've used. The front-facing camera could be improved, but the 20MP camera in the back takes excellent pictures. The only problem I have right now is not knowing what phone to get (that can surpass this one) when my contract is up. Any suggestions?
Pros: Personal

I switched from an s4 and I am glad that I did. This is my first Windows phone and it won't be the last. Amazing display and very fast.

Nokia + Windowsphone = Perfection

Having used iPhone for 3 years then Android for 3, I have to say MS has by far the best Phone OS going. It is so smooth and responsive. It is so intuitive and Easy, but the magical thing is, unlike Apple they didn't have to limit features to keep it simple, they have given you all the features, but made them simple to use.
I used to chuckle at their commercials saying how you could do things "quicker" on a WindowsPhone, but I have to say to my surprise it is notably quicker to do just about everything. If you are new to Windows phone you may need 1 - 3 days to stop trying to use it like an iPhone or an Android. But once you "turn the corner" and you "get" the Windowsphone style, everything just suddenly makes complete sense.
Hardware - superb, seems a little big at first, but now after a few days, the others just seem too small. Screen is gorgeous and build is slim, sleek and smooth...
Enjoy!
Pros: Personal, Business
