The Best Windows Phone

Fast and powerful! I was concerned the screen would be to big but I love the extra screen size and it is rarely an issue. Camera takes amazing pictures and video but could be faster at times.
Pros: Personal

Greatest phone made! Incredible camera and exceptional battery life! Wouldn't trade it for a dozen androids or iOS'. It's basically a tablet with a phone attached.

Almost perfect
on October 24, 2014
Posted by: RyanK

I love everything about this phone...almost. The screen size and look is stellar. The body design is beautiful. The Windows phone OS is the best OS experience on any device. The battery almost never drains fully unless you really try...I had to conciously drain it down just to exercise it as recommended. I couldn't drain it under normal usage and recharge it every night like I did with my old 920 because it would only be down to about 60% after a full day of usage.
The only drawback has been the digitizer. I went through 3 of phones trying to find one that didn't have a distortion issue that occurs when touching the display. Similar to the way your LCD TV does if you touch the screen. Although minimal, this shouldn't happen on a TOUCH screen phone and I've never seen it on any of my previous phones unless you really press hard on the screen. I don't know if they just made the glass too thin or not hard enough. After 2 yellow ones, I settled on a green one that has a little less of the distortion issue. On the yellow ones I noticed it everytime I unlocked the phone, by now I see it sparingly. I surely hope they keep the six inch form, add an active digitizer pen and improve the screen on the next model. Other than that it is an almost perfect phone.
Pros: Personal, Business

nokia 1520 ....nokia love

Love the 1520...i have the rm-937 laking the lte with that in thought...i was happy to see with the release of 8.1 seeming to give better signal....there is a lot of bang for the buck
Battery.
This battery is well equipped for this phone with its users in thought....a tablet size screen and a ever capable battery providing the amazing time of more than a day of use being that usually you will use this size phone for more than simply calling and texting

Screen
Well sized and proportionate as well as good views in the sun....very reactive screen.

Camera
Great pics and of course the apps to match...not much into the way of changing from 3,5,8,10,15,or even 20 mp but cropping is a breeze so no issue there because there is 32gb of space not counting OS software

Win 8.1
Good overall....very stable....not android so for you app fans they have a lot of the necessities and the advantage of being windows when using with your computer. They have gun games and more and more everyday free apps continue...I would easily say this is will advance maybe not as fast as google but windows has put out more stable less laggy when coming out so not lot of OS update needed
Accessories
I would like to see more name brand cases in the sense of protection...being this was Nokia and Microsoft flagship on phablet operation....the designs should have maybe been sent out to more companies prior to release to create more option
Overall this phone is a great device and solid performer and would and have recommended to many others
Pros: Personal, Business

Great phone

The only downside to this phone is adjusting to the size but I knew that coming into it and it only causes me issues on rare occasions that are to be expected. Otherwise a stellar device that I would never willingly trade for another. Big fan.

I have always thought that it was impossible to work efficiently with a phone until I got this gorgeous 1520.
This phone helps me with my remote life wherever I go. I start using my laptop less and less because of this beautiful lady. With my Lumia 1520, I ca work and play efficiently.
Pros: Personal, Business
