Lumia 1520 discontinued / out of production worldwide?

[Scienceguy Labs]

Funny this thread popped up. I was just searching on eBay and Amazon earlier today checking prices for the 1520 to satisfy my curiosity and found this ridiculously priced sale..... New Nokia Lumia 1520 Quad Core 20MP 4G LTE Factory Unlocked 32GB Yellow Phone | eBay

Ha ha That's crazy.

What is even more ridiculous to me is that 194 people bought at this price and another 124 people are watching this overpriced listing ....

Well to be honest they're really some folks who want this. I bought a 500$ Vivobook in 2013 after a few months of usage (it was for college) I sold it surprisenly for 600$ on Ebay.... So I profited 40$ from it (The 10% Ebay fee is still ridiculous)

I don't think anybody bought it at that price. The seller feedback doesn't show any. There is a black 1520 sale with feedback from awhile ago, and the selling price was $499. The feedback shows that this seller sells almost all Sony XPERIA devices.

Thats the same guy trying to sell Lumia 1320s for 999.

​Have you tried the Microsoft Store?

I'm so done with eBay for buying phones...

Or selling anything. They really have gotten too greedy for my tastes as a seller and as a buyer I'm tired of all the hoarder gouger outfits littering the place.

the only place now that i see selling the green 1520 is on best buys website

Bit frustrating that the UK seems to be one of the first markets to have gone out of stock!

But is it true that website viewing is exactly the same on both the 1520 and 930, you see no more just the same amount on a 6 inch screen instead of a 5 inch screen? Do you get exactly the same number of tiles on both phones? Can anyone confirm?

They have them in the AT&T stores here in Florida. I was just in the store yesterday and the green 1520 is still displayed at two different tables in the store, along with the 830 and the 6xx.

Just checked my AT&T Next upgrade availability, and according to them, I can upgrade to either the black or red 1520. Called this afternoon and verified.

Get off the hamster wheel!

Don't let a carrier tell you when you have to buy a new phone. They aren't giving you a phone. They are overcharging you for a new phone every x months and hoping you forget to get the new one you are paying for. Either way, you lose. The only way you don't lose is if the stars and everything align so that you would always buy a new phone at exactly the same time they allow you to upgrade. So you end up getting a new phone before you would if left to your own decision OR you keep paying for an old phone long after its paid for.

Ha ha Yeah. I agree. I haven't gotten a phone on contract in over five years now. I just checked using my upgrade status to see if the 1520 were still available.

My last Contract phone had Cupcake on it as a fresh release...

And trust me, I've owned way too many phones.

Cool that your area still has these on display, I've been looking for one and my only option seems to be the 830 or buy the 1520 from Amazon.
