I'm conflicted.
I got my 1020 after using a 520 when my 920 bit the dust. I wasn't exactly gung-ho about spending that upgrade/money on a camera I didn't think I'd spend a lot of time using. Missing out on wireless charging was also a bit of a sore point (AT&T). Of course, since getting it, I've taken what appears to be some good shots (Instagram#). People love asking if it's "that Windows Phone" from the commercials. I also have grown to truly appreciate that matte yellow finish.
Here in the States, public school teachers often spend time in a classroom before they become licensed, and I begin tomorrow. Something tells me that I won't be taking many pictures in the coming semester, which equates to having a phone that has a major feature that will go mostly unused. I expect I'd still go on some trips/outings with friends where I'd be able to put it to use, but you get what I'm saying.
I'm thinking I want a 1520. Having a big device means I'd have an easier time showing stuff to students. Since checking the device out at the store, I've grown a bit bored of having the two-column screen--I keep getting the feeling I don't have enough space. I don't speak on the phone all that often so I'm not worried about looking foolish, though I wouldn't care anyway. I could still have that yellow finish, too. As nice as all that is, I'd have to remember I'd be on AT&T, meaning I'd have half the storage and no wireless charging.
Of course, all of this doesn't mean much because, as I've mentioned, I've used my upgrade a few months ago to get the 1020 and there's no clear way for me to buy a 1520. Selling it seems like a huge hassle (though I have the matching wireless charging shell and a wireless charger), but I guess that would be my only option outside of a trade--but who would want to? I'd hate to cheat the Microsoft Store and break my 1020 to try to replace it using the insurance, but I guess that's something else.
I wrote all of this because it's been bugging me and nobody in my family is willing to put up with a silly complaint about a smartphone, so I thought I'd post here to at least get it off my chest. I'd appreciate advice if you have any, but at the very least--thank you for reading.
