I haven't found anyone who is disappointed with 1520. A good friend of mine switched from android to it and calls it his best decision ever. And he even hates android now.
You can turn off automatic updates in store setings but for individual apps, it's not possible.
If you want to do the same, I'd advice you to turn off auto update and update all apps manually.
It should provided that the entire functionality is available on it. We didn't have fb messenger back then so we were stuck with either fb app pr messages. Both failed to match the real one. But now we have and it works great.
I'm using facebook beta rather than facebook. It has better design...
Hubs.
Everything is now an app. (Does not necessarily mean its a bad thing)
People's hub now needs an app to sync like facebook. No integrated syncing.
Cannot post status updates from people hub.
Removed messenger from messages.
Games are now displayed in app lists as well.
These are all I...
The sign in screen was little messy. I hope that you scale it out properly. The resolution looked messed up on my 520. And yes waiting eagerly for update.
