Should I just buy it?

There is a version of the 1320 with LTE right? I am on att. I assumed there was because the online stores I have been looking at say LTE.

Yes, RM-994 and RM-995 do.

 

[metalchick719]

Do you know any stores that would have the 1320? I don't know if they really sell it in the US besides online?

I think online is probably your only chance of snagging a 1320. It's not available through any carrier in the US, plus I don't think US Microsoft stores carry it, either. You should try Negri because last I checked, they were selling them for just over $300. Search results for: 'nokia lumia 1320'

Thanks! I completely forgot about Negri Electronics! That is the cheapest price I have seen so far. And that one would work on AT&T LTE correct? Just making sure. I think I am just going to get it. Just got to figure out which color I want. Anyone seen the colors in person...? haha

I didn't really know much about the 1320, but I don't think it's sold in the US at all. Maybe you'd be better off selling a kidney and just getting the 1520. :smile:

1) If you have WIFI around you, then only go for WP as big files are restricted to WIFI only for download. No liberty given to user to choose between WIFI or DATA plan.
2) If you are habituated to File Manager then WP is not for you as it does not have file manager.
3) If you share pre recorded audio/video through IMs like whatsapp then this is not your type of phone as wp support sharing of pre recorded audio/video only through Bluetooth, mails, one drive etc.
4) If you have habit of keeping different videos in separate Album/folder/genre etc then this is not your type of phone as video hub displays all videos so you need to search manually for desired video.
5) You can not hide your very private/personal audio/video/picture.
6) If you are addicted to apps, then please check all the available apps in store as wp lacks apps miserable.
7) No privacy, as if you friend takes your phone just to check features he will be able to see all personal files, you kept it in phone. So, either you don't buy WP or stop giving your phone even for a minute.
8) WP8.1 upgrade also wont help you much as this is more of a upgraded interface rather than utilities. And 8.1 eats up all you battery in no time.
9) A better dialer is much needed in WP. What we have now is fine but why doesn't the dialer integrate with the contacts hub so that when we type someone's name or number, it autofills or at least shows suggestions for available contacts?

1) in the system, WiFi is prioritized over Data Plan to save your money
2) if you're referring to a NATIVE file manager, afaik every OS don't have it
3) true
4) true again... you're seeing it from a hub, what do you expect?
5) true, but there's a workaround mentioned above
6) it's growing day by day... and ask yourself, how many apps do you NEED in your phone? 10, 100, 1000, or 1M? from those apps, how many apps do you actually USE? 1, 5, 10?
7) I've had a bad experience about this and from now on I'll login to the Kid's Corner before handing it over to my "friend"
8) no, and no... there's a damn lot of new utilities in the 8.1 compared to 8.0... saving a couple of clicks is not just an "upgraded interface"... after 2 weeks (and several app updates), the battery becomes normal again in my Nokia Lumia 1020...
9) haven't really needed it, but that'd be a good addition

I didn't really know much about the 1320, but I don't think it's sold in the US at all. Maybe you'd be better off selling a kidney and just getting the 1520. :smile:

man, that's creepy...
one kidney could buy you a damn lot of 1520s

It must be a price thingy. Because the 1520 is a better phone for the same size. I have the 1520 and just love the screen on it. The 1320 doesn't have 1080, but it basically has the same screen. I would say make the jump to the 1520 and don't look back.

 

[seangprice]

I have tried both the 1320 and the 1520, both great devices. I can hardly tell the difference in screen quality and the overall daily performance is almost unnoticeable with the faster 1520. The biggest two reasons why for me to sell the 1320 was the lack of qi charging and the camera. Both phones work flawlessly with T-Mobile USA in all bands and both came from Newegg.

1320 for the bigger screen
920 for the excellent camera
both are great imho
i personally have a red 720 and a white 820 (r.i.p my old black 720 ( )

 

[akshaypn]

I would also say to go for 1520 if you can...1320 is good though..I have no problems with it...screen is great...you wont notice any pixels...

 

[fdalbor]

You will not notice the difference between 267 and 245.

First, to the original poster I'd like to say - Get the 1320. You will not notice the tiny drop in pixel density. At some point pixel density stops helping and is just a number on a specifications sheet.

To the Android guy with 8 things he doesn't like on Windows Phone

1) Yes, try to download big files like Here Maps, Big size games like Asphalt 8 etc. Take today's incident, due to last night heavy rain, my broadband is not working so my WIFI. But my data plan services is working fine. Both are different service provider and I need to update Pocket File Manager, network +, 2048, Line, touch, PDF reader. I have to wait for wifi, no option. Microsoft needs to understand most of the world does not have hi speed WIFI around them like in USA people have.
I haven't had any trouble having my apps set to auto-update with no WIFI available. Not a single application has complained about a size limit and some of the updates have been 50MB or more. I certainly would NOT want to update HERE maps w/out WIFI since the 2GB USA map would eat my entire data plan in a single sitting.
2) I may be wrong but in built file manager seems to work more efficiently then third party as it is the issue of deepest kept file in the system and permission from OS.
They are releasing the official WP 8.1 file manager by end of May or June of this year so this is an extremely weak item that is easily addressed by Pocket File Manager for the remaining 30-60 days.
5) I may be wrong but I feel WP apps to hide pics does not work efficiently as they don't move files to hidden folder, actually they copy it to hidden folder and after sending pics to that gallery lock, we need to delete it from original and if you want to retrieve it or unlock it, it wont go back to original folder, it goes to "Saved Photos" folder. where already you have many pics saved and you need to search manually for your pics to see. Just imagine if again you want to send it back to lock, again you have to select>send>select>delete from folder.
Either don't have porn on your phone or don't give it to other people to use if you do. I'm sorry, but this is silly.
6) Apps are the key to success of any OS now a days. weather its a big company or small, every body has their app in iOS and Android. But WP just can not compete.
I agree that the apps available for iOS and Android are better, but the vast majority of the big apps are already on WP and the gap is constantly shrinking. I can't think of any deal breaker apps that I just can't live without that I don't already have.
7) Its my humble request that don't take it personal, I am just giving examples. Imagine someone has some very personal pics of his girlfriend or wife in his phone and if your boss's/friend's phone battery gone dry and he asks for your phone to do few calls, in that case one needs to open the security lock. Or take it other way, everybody has at least few restricted picture or videos in their phone, I case your close one asks for phone just to play around with features so that he/she can make up his/her mind for next phone change then....one needs to protect his phone all the time. What I am telling is very practical thing which happens in our daily life. So, that statement " who needs that" is very theoretical not practical.
I predict this is a non-issue for 99.9% of people.
8) you are lucky that you battery is good. Most of the people are facing battery problem after WP 8.1 update.

It's a developer preview and buggy and not supported by firmware updates (yet). I had some pretty serious heating and battery issues the first few days, but after tweaking some settings my battery life is as good as it's ever been now. I am easily finishing the day with 50% of my battery life intact and I'm using it a lot with cortana, location services, wifi, Bluetooth, automatic app updates all enabled.
