Nice to see you here once again.
LOL thanks, work keeps me busy these days. A large US carrier started getting their prototypes about a month ago (this usually means the device is in carrier lab for carrier testing) and I was not able to check one out in person until last week. I also got to briefly check out the Nokia RT tablet before he had to put it away. The 1520 and the tablet both look like giant 925 in regard to design cue & styling, but you guys already know that from the pics.
(IMO, the tablet feels nice in regard to size, I'd say nicer than my Surface RT tablet, but it left me scratching my head why RT and not 32-bit Windows 8 like the Acer W3)
Hi Michael-Dallas,
You're one of the first outsiders to experience the 1520. Besides the feeling of "hugeness" can you give us any more feedback? How was the weight? Is it lighter than the 920? Anything else stand out like it's thin-ness, etc?
Thanks from all of us
It had a rubber cover around it, but it still felt lighter than my 920. I was told this was most likely due to not having the wifi charging coil like on the 920. Even w/ the rubber cover, it was a mm thicker (so it's slightly thinner naked). Eyeballing the height and width - it's about 1.75 inches taller and 0.75" wider.
I haven't been keeping up w/ the upcoming flavors and changes to WP8, so I didn't quite look for any specific changes in the OS. The display is 1920x1080 and the camera is 21mp (16 + 5), but you guys probably already know this. I forgot to check to see if tiles could be sized to the full width of the display, but I asked afterwards and was told no. It looks like Nokia is going w/ the 925 style w/ their upcoming stuff, so I usually like to check out the physical dimensions and weight over OS changes.
Hope this helps.
