Yes but other features don't work if you don't have an app. For starters most banking institutions are starting to add push notifications every time something is charged your debit card or checking accounts immediately through their respective apps for security purposes. You cannot do this if...

Thanks, I am not "poorer" though. I get the new iphone every year and sell the old one. My 128GB iPhone 6 Plus I will get around $600-$650 for as i have gotten every year for the best previous years model. Resulting in i only pay about $300-$350 for the latest iPhone. For me I am not huge on...

Its looking like a BIG NO for me... Me personally I have been waiting 2+ years for a flagship WP to come out since the Nokia 1520. I have pretty much given up on it and it doesnt matter what Microsoft is going to come out with. The apps are just still not coming in.. My daughter who i bought...

Hi, So i have been a huge WP supporter for a few years now but still have not made the switch other than having the Nokia 1520 for a couple months.. I am still waiting for WP/MS to come out with a phone that meets my expecations. Anyway, i ended up getting the Nokia 830 for my kids and they...

As someone who has had every iphone and wanted to switch away since about 2011 due to the small screen sizes, the iphone 6 plus came out and finally satisfied that need. The bottom line is that is still plain iOS on a bigger phone. I tried/purchased the Nokia 1520 three separate times last...

re: Pictures & Videos Taken With My Lumia 1520 These pics on the last page here make me want to go pic the phone up again....FOR THE 4TH FNG TIME!!

hmm...just saw thing where they are offering 10% also for students, only exclusions are the Xbox One. I go part time at nights but i do have a valid .edu email address. May be getting for under $500 now. I will call them tomorrow or go down there in a couple days.

So i figured i would give it one more try, 3rd time to be exact lol.... Anyway..picked up the 1520 in store today full price and they gave me a 520 for free, well they said it would be $5.00 for it since i am spending such a large amount in the store today. But then he also mumbled something...

You want to hear a good story listen to this!!..MUST READ!. Ordered on the November 8th for preorder, Called MS like most of you did on the 22nd asking why mine has not shipped yet, when it really should have been delivered on the 22nd... The chat rep opened up a case for me regarding the...

i have the 5s and 1520... There have been times i have been really impressed with the 1520 and then there are times when i am like wtf....I have had both on my most of the time when i go out because it is very hard for me to choose between either one. Usually I will take comparison shots to...

wow you have no sense of humor at all...So when they say "its so big" I should just be all serious in a stern voice " Yes ma'am, it is a big phone, I agree with you" Maybe your just an old lady, or maybe your just a snob in general...or just flat out ugly. This ain't the 50's here..

People get all wide eye'd when i show them or they notice it, they have a huge smile on there face and usually laughing. They all agree it is pretty big but you can see the jealousy in there eye's. My usual comment is that you get used to it like anything else after a week or two. Usually...

re: Lumia 1520 Bugs & Defects lol no its not that. Its a maximum 8bit color that it changes to, more like 4bit if that exist. Everything changes to pixelated fluorescent type colors because of the low color profile.

any updates on other purchases? I decided to keep the 1520 and now I am starting to look for cases and screen protectors, with the latter really not having many options available at all.

re: Lumia 1520 Bugs & Defects Bugs i have noticed... The screen seems to switch to like 8bit color for a few seconds at time. It is always the home screen and not the lock screen. It returns to normal within a couple seconds.
