Would you still buy a 1520 RM 938? For say...$300. Is it still worth it? I've been waiting for one (wireless charging) and think I can get it but not sure if it's worth it.
Is it worth it is my question.
Your criteria are not defined. Everyone has different needs, wants and expectations in a device. Based on such a wide open question the correct answer can only be as vague:
It depends...
Do you want Continuum? Then you must wait. Do you want still valid hardware and a proven experience? Then it is worth it. Do you want the fullest experience from Windows 10 Mobile? Then you must wait. Do you want the best experience out of Windows Phone 8.1 and guaranteed transition with power to handle most everything Win 10 Mo will offer? Then it is worth it. Do you not mind spending $600, $700, $800 or more on a device? Then you should wait. Do you get satisfaction from knowing you received a bargain? Then it is worth it.
You set the question and the preamble as vague. If you define your expectations a little it will help others to assist you...
1) Rumours are proof in this case. All the MS Lumia flagship rumours have turned out to be trueIs there any promise or proof of a upcoming flagship phone other than rumors.
Byrese,
The 1520 is a very nice phone, and I don't know of any Windows phone close to it with hardware and camera features.
I bought 2 about 3 months ago on eBay 1 for my wife and one for myself, lol my wife is a iPhone defector she was tired of the terrible battery life along with no expandable storage slot .
And I don't want to wait till till next year for a phone with a large screen and better hardware to come out if it ever does. I really think the 1520, 1020 are the end of the line for a really great Windows phone, all they are making now are phones for so called emerging markets and not for those looking for flagships. All those who are waiting are going to be dissapointed.
Yeah I know! I have one now but really wanted a RM-938 with the wireless charging. That's why I asked the question in the first place. I can sell my ATT variant and swallow the difference for the RM-938. Weighing if it's worth it. I just love wireless charging though. And though I would like the new hardware I'm NOT going to pay $600 plus for a phone (I don't' care if it is month-to month on my TMO plan). That's where I am.
If you just want the wireless charging why not just add Qi to your 940.
