Beautiful large screen with awesome battery life!

The screen is not too large. One handed typing is a little more difficult than my 920, but the trade off is worth it for all other aspects, browsing, reading, gaming and watching videos. This phone has really minimized the use of my tablet, except no Java. I have to revert to my desktop or tablet for full windows support. Windows platform and interoperability are truly the best and easiest platform. I have owned iPhone, android and windows Mobile prior and this is truly the best device I have owned. I hope the next large screen flagship blows me away like this one.
Pros: Personal, Business
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use this phone for business and personal use. After updating to Windows 8.1 the features really came alive. Cortana and the phone link calendar, scheduled plane flights, reservations, OneNote, etc. The screen size is awesome and the phone is still "pocketable". It links great to the new Microsoft Band too!

Perfect for a college student
on November 11, 2014

This is sort of a niche review, since college is the biggest thing in my life right now, so my phone has to serve many purposes relating to that. I'll begin with the software. WP 8.1 is absolutely wonderful. The calendar, Cortana, and OneDrive are essentials for college, and WP delivers on all three. My personal app recommendations for any college student: MyStudyLife, Wunderlist, OneDrive, Pandora or Spotify, and Flipboard, CBS News, or any other news app. My only gripe is Office, which desperately needs to be redone. With a 6" screen, I'd like to do stuff other than just view documents and edit basic text. Microsoft's promised us this, but so far, all we've seen is iOS getting everything on that front and WP getting another "Coming soon" promise. Still waiting on that OneNote redesign that iOS got last spring to come to WP, Microsoft. I don't buy the "iOS users are guinea pigs for WP" bull for even a second... Onto the hardware. The Nokia Lumia line doesn't get any better than this- excellent specs, and when given a 128 GB microSD card, you can store everything you want on your phone and still plenty of free space. The 20 MP camera is excellent, and once the Lumia Denim update comes out, it'll be even better, with 4K video recording! My only complaint here is the plastic casing- for a 6" phone, you need a stronger body to reduce the chance of breaking the phone. Buy a rugged case as soon as you get the phone. Overall, it's an excellent device and I completely recommend it!

It's all you need!

The 1520 is a great phone! I bumped up from the 920 which is equally great, but I wanted the larger screen. Add to that all the features and it's the perfect combination of a phone and a tablet.
Pros: everything all of the time!

Love every inch of the phone

While i like everything about it i would not recommend to others especially with the way MS is acting and doing things. It has been 5 years almost and all the WP users hearing is we are moving fast but not fast enough and still has not penetrated the market. We do not even see anywhere in any ads saying now available in Windows store all we see is IOS Store and Play store. The reason all the good things about windows phone are available everywhere and there is no reason for anyone to come to WP. Even MS own teams build things for other OS before WP then how will any other company build the app for WP. Enough with ranting but unless MS shows some serious commitments to the WP i will not be buying another Lumia.
Pros: Personal, Business
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
