So I have a 1520... AMA.

[wolferpac]

Could you post a pic of it up to your ear as if you were making a call? THANKS

 

[Indistinguishable]

Wait a second,1520 isn't released yet is it?

 

[Rem97]

Is the 1520 thinner than the 925?

The global variant isn't thinner. 1520 is 8.7mm whereas 925 is 8.5mm. Not sure about the US version as it may be thinner than 8.7mm due to no built in wireless charging.

That's a great question. I would venture to bet you could.

Congrats on the getting the phone. And man is it huge. Just wondering if there is a way to get the double wide tile to stretch across the entire screen? I doubt they can but when you get a chance, could you just confirm for us. Thanks and enjoy.

@Indistinguishable

Hi, I don't know if this is a dumb question or if you have done repairs to a Windows Phone yourself, (specifically Lumia 920) but i noticed when i repaired my wireless charging coil, i was able to find a replacement and install it myself easily. Since the US 1520 is lacking Qi capabilities...do you think it would be safe to assume that we could order a "repair" part in the future and add it into the phone ourselves? A Sort of loophole maybe?

Holding the 1520 up to your ear to make a call would probably look stupid to most people, but on the bright side...it will probably force you to use a wired or bluetooth earpiece, thus reducing radiation exposure to your head. I usually use a wired earpiece anyway, so that doesn't bother me. I was able to easily carry around the Note 2 in my pocket while at the gym and elsewhere. I'll probably have to go to AT&T and check it out when released to see if it will be too big to carry around comfortably.

Yeah you can, if you don't mind voiding your warranty day 1

@boo516, Ive had my Lumia 920 for almost a year and never had problems with repairs or warranty issues. Ive done all the repairs myself because i don't want to wait 3 weeks for AT&T to send me back a replacement. Warranty has never been an issue. Its worth it to get the wireless charging working on a US model. Though, I'd rather wait till someone else confirms it first....haha.

Hopefully someone like Negri Electronics will just sell a modified AT&T version. That would be the ideal solution for most people. The price premium would probably be worth it, especially since Negri sells unlocked phones.

Please show us how long it take the apps to launch, try whatsapp and skype and any other heavy games... also does it getting so much heated when playing heavy games?

 

[ElarioHanna]

In all pics of the 1520 there is a new icon in the status bar with the battery and phone signal, it has a bell with sound waves next to it, this is new, what is it?

 

[Hesti85]

I would appreciate two photos which Show the Keyboard in landscape and Portrait mode. Thanks in advance

I mean, if you have the technical know-how you can do it.

 

[vormison]

Is that a 1520 in your pocket or are you just....ugh.

Anyways, thanks lot for posting your info and pictures to WPC. I am happy to see Nokia entire the phablet (I hate that word) arena but this phone is definitely not for me. I'll wait out for the 929.

How does the gaming performance compare to your 1020? Is there a noticeable difference in terms of fps in graphically intense games such as N.O.V.A 3, Order & Chaos, Batman, Spider-man etc.

 

[BDBDBD]

How is it like to type on using a wider keyboard? Is it faster and easier as I assume the keys are bigger and/or further spaced apart?

 

[MyNL822]

How is your glance screen numbers red on the 1020? This hasn't come as a feature yet.
