It's near final release, late beta I'd say. No time for fundamental changes, only late bug fixes.

I could not, survived nine months, lost all hope with 8.1 update. It's terrible number one flaw of this platform. Everybody complains about missing apps but it's not the main issue IMO...

After 9 months of extensive use of the device I decided to move on and get a new phone. Windows 8.1 Developer Preview changes are included in my feedback. Pros ?camera (details, low light performance, OIS, DNG support) ?excellent sunlight visibility -- better than any phone I ever owned...

LOL I also prefer stock camera for casual "fast" shots and I was surprised how good they are especially in low light (!!!), counterintuitive but true...

+1 About 5-15% / hour IDLE drain, connected to my laptop all the time because of that :(

Or how limited/poor support for Nokia 1020 really is in Adobe Lightroom :)

JPEG from 1020 is usually better than JPEG converted from DNG using Adobe Lightroom. My results are similiar to yours.

For most of my photos original Nokia processing (to JPG) produces visually better results than Lightroom which is counter-intuitive IMO. Just sharing my results. It's good to have DNG though, RAW -> JPG algorithms get better all the time. Kudos to Nokia processing once again. it's really hard...

Noise is really high, even for smartphone, original JPG was better than what I could get from Lightroom 5.3 without heavy tweaking

IMO it needs bug fixes above all: stability fixed (reboots), bluetooth fixes, and some usability improvements and it would be just fine. I'd rather have limited number of improvements but more stable OS than unstable OS with some "gimmicks". Windows Phone 8 is my first unstable OS since years...

I've got 6-8%/hour when double tap to wake is on, 1-2% when double tape to wake is off

2 --> Nokia Smart Cam (not Pro Cam! confusion...) enables taking multiple pictures and selecting the best one etc. so it's possible out of the box without buying anything

Don't expect such good battery life on 1020, it's 2-3 times worse. Also it's very unstable, reboots, Bluetooth is crappy.

Disabled glance and double tap to wake to save some battery life, no chance to last more than 6-8 hours since morning; quite fast to charge with supplied charger so I don't complain

Second that + Bluetooth issues (disconnects, crashes) - going to return mine (EU version)
