    How Much Zoom Does the Nokia 1020 Really Have?

    Let me preface this by saying that I don't know as much about photo optics as I should. I'm just trying to puzzle this out. I welcome any alternate views/corrections, etc, as I am here to learn. Nokia advertises that the Lumia 1020 is "Zoom Reinvented." The photos accompanying the ads are...

    Poor Placement of SSpeaker and Microphone

    Well, I finally have a complaint about the 521. I like to use the speaker phone for hands-free writing etc. When I do, I often get a lot of feedback, echo, bad sound etc. I think I finally figured out why. Nokia put the external speaker on the back of the phone very close to the microphone. If...
