Early this year I purchased the 1520 and was blown away. It seemed to do everything my iPhone couldn't but yet 3 short months later I found myself looking at my wife's iPhone in envy eventually. The UI was nice, the apps seemed to work a little better and really seemed to look a lot better. Webpages just worked and she seemed to never run into any walls.
So one day, we did a swap and I took her phone for 24 hours and she took my 1520.
Iphone Cons
-On the iPhone right away I noticed by the time I got to work the iPhone had already lost 14%.
-Walking to the building, I could hardly make out a text message in the direct sun light.
-Sitting at my desk I then went to turn the volume on texts off but keep my radio on. boy was that a lot more steps then I remember.
-Then at the end of the day, with an hour left, I go to check my phone and see that its off and the battery is blinking at me.
Iphone Pros
-I did like how the camera could focus on circuit boards I was working on without having to back up a few inches and then crop in.
-Colors seemed a little better
-Siri was a bit more helpful then cortana at math and date calculations. (whats 180 days from today)
All of this is software for the most part
When I got home, my wife was playing with the health and fitness app, told me about a new restaurant she discovered, how it tracked how many steps she took, how she loved nokia music and how it was free and commercial free, she loved the giant calculator, how when she turns off wifi it turns it back on later, the live tiles, how social networks actually change the lock screen and contacts, how the screen is much bigger then the iPhones, and most of all, the battery. After using it all day and almost every feature, she only managed to bring it down to 52%.
I then told her battery saver would stretch that even further.
Well, got my 1520 back from her, and I love it even more now. This is now My phone and I'm not going back.
