I'm not feeling the magic. I wanted a to hold on to the news of a new device flaunting more than what the 830 (and 730) popped out with. Looking at the specs on PhoneArena.com, it seems as though they've gone ahead and repackaged a device from a year ago and said, "Here's your update".
I don't mean to be inflammatory, but the Nokia device selection has severely let me down. I'm trying to see the magic, but most of what I wanted I thought would be the 830, till I saw the internals.
I've been crying for a 930 with microsd support and then realized there is one, the 1520. Doesn't anyone else feel a fair bit... spun around with this being what WP (Nokia) is going in with for the holiday season? I dunno, just... just looking for that magic I saw in WP back when the 920 came out.
1520 - 930: Nokia Lumia 1520 vs Nokia Lumia 930 - Phone specs comparison
(big diff, no micro sd)
1320 - 830: Nokia Lumia 1320 vs Nokia Lumia 830 - Phone specs comparison
(big diff, dual core to quad core... but in both cases no passive cortana... )
The last point isn't the huge thing to me, I can live without passive Cortana, but it makes one wonder what they're buying into with an "affordable flagship" if it's already hamstrung out the gate. Grumble grumble.
What's of note is it only seems to answer those that wanted the specs of the 1520/1320 but not the size. Going on like that I feel passed over. Like there should have been more to the 930, and something more in general, something pushing the boundaries. But it all seems like a third (or fourth) party push from a first party manufacturer.
