Love This Phone!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

I wanted to come on here and add to the reviews, lol with all the buzz around the iPhone 6 now. I have had my Lumia 1520 since last December and I absolutely love it! I loved it before the recent Windows Phone 8.1 upgrade and now, after that, I love it waaay more! It's almost like a new phone but within the same hardware. Upgraded interface!

On to the review - I'm not much of a techie so I'm not going to list a review of every feature. Of course the camera is great and really everything else. I will go through some things I really love about it. Cortana is really awesome. I don't think it is operating yet at full capacity- meaning I don't think I've untapped all of its capabilities yet, but it is really cool. It doesn't talk to me as much as I would like but that's probably because I don't really talk to it - I still feel a little weird talking to my phone! I didn't go through the whole Siri thing, as I never liked the iPhone interface.

Back to the phone & Cortana:
I love the daily snapshot it gives me - tailored to me from all the things I told it.
I love the reminders it gives me - telling me that its time to leave and the traffic, to get to an appointment. Its really helpful.
I love the slide down notifications and expanded volume control.
I love the new texting style - makes typing a lot of words possible in a really short time! and is so effortless!
I love the new update to the already cool live tiles! The transparent background is awesome!
I love the new glance screen - the update is just that much cleaner!

And of course I've always loved the overall look - both the build of the phone and the interface. I appreciate the interface over a Droid or iPhone interface any day, and furthermore don't get how soooo many people aren't turned on to Window Phone's interface instead!

I think Microsoft needs to do better advertising! Maybe stop showing Windows Phones in comparison to Apple. I mean that's great and all - people need to see a comparison but a lot of the earlier ads - that kind of comparison just makes it seem like you're constantly showing Apple as the standard that you're trying to catch up to (standard in popularity of course) but they need to show how Windows Phone stands in its own class!

Lastly I really hope they continue to improve the phone. If they continue to make jumps like they did with this WP8 to WP8.1 - they will be lightyears ahead of the competition!!

The phone was in good condition itself, however the battery would not stay charged more than 2 hrs, had to purchase and get installed a new battery at a cost of $50. The ad said it was refurbished and in working condition, wished I had bought it on eBay, so I could have sent it back and or gotten a rebate for my additional $50.

Almost a replacement for a laptop

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

Upgrading from my older, very reliable and functional Nokia 900 Windows Phone to my new Nokia 1520 Windows Phone is all good! The six-inch screen is much sharper with better resolution, and provides easier to read text and webpages on the larger screen. The faster processor (quad-core) and more memory provides much better performance for all functions and features. The 1520 is about the size as a desktop phone handset to hold and use for phone calls, so for me the larger size phone is not a problem and audio call quality is excellent. I chose a horizontal belt-loop carry case to carry it around, and that works for me. Battery capacity is good for my typical all-day use, and data-intensive activities seem to be the biggest battery drain. After an overnight recharge, its ready for another business day. I'm still discovering the newest features and functions. So far, the Cortana voice-assist has worked very well, and voice recognition (of my voice) and the Cortana answers have been spot-on and quick. I do most of my business work on a laptop, but this 1520 is serving as an excellent device for a mobile extension to my office. I haven't tried Skype yet, but the Lumia Cameras (both selfie and front-facing) are excellent and produce very high quality images (20 MP front-facing). Since the phone purchase, I received and applied one Windows 8.1 Update via AT&T (downloaded using WiFi connection) that was uneventful, auto-restarted three times (included both firmware and OS upgrades) during the upgrade process, and resulted in better performance on all levels. Almost a replacement for a laptop - getting closer anyway.

Cellphone Junkie

Breath Of Fresh Air From Android And IOS

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am a self admitted cell phone addict. i have various versions of iPhones up to IOS 7and Android phones up to Kit Kat. I became board with the same old stuff so I decided with some caution that I would make the switch to Windows Phone 8. I was very fearful of a lack of apps, but it turns out that the majority of the apps that I used on other platforms were available on WP8. The ones that weren't available had similar apps that were as good as or better than the original. The phone itself is a work of art. The build quality is every bit as good if not better than any model of iPhone. The screen is second to none in my opinion. Its bright, and the colors are incredible. Its very easy to read in sunlight. The button locations are very intuitive. The speaker is very loud and also clear. The battery life is amazing. I consider my self an average to slightly above average cell phone user. The phone comes off the charger at 4:15am every day. Buy the time I go to bed at 10:00pm I still have any where from 65 to 70 percent charge left. The phone is large. There is no question about that, but its also thin and feels very good in the hand. If you are looking for a large screen phone that does just about everything perfect, then look no further. The toughest choice you will have to make is which color to get.

Seller doesn't care about condition of products before shipping, item was listed as a used but it was repaired and it's not assembled properly because it comes defective there is a big space between display and back cover case and also with blocked charging port.
So for now it's a junk.
