The new Lumia 9999, with a 24" screen!
What does that even mean
And Moto G is going to rule the world.
Fair enough.It should be thought of the other way around: it is an Asha device that borrows some design elements from the L520 (and WP).
The L520 still costs around $120. That is still too much for some markets, which is why Nokia still sells a couple million Asha devices per quarter.
In terms of unit sales, the L520 mops the floor with any other WP device, but sales are still poor compared to the gazillion low-end Android devices sold every quarter at around $50. That is why Asha still has a role to play. Two years from now, when it is possible to manufacture a L520 for $50, that is when Nokia hopes those customers will move over to a familiar looking Lumia, rather than the an Android device.
If the 1520 sells well, they will.I hope the MSFT/Nokia will continue to make phablets. At least once a year.
They should follow a strategy of a 4 Lumias: entry-level, a mid-range phone, a high-end device and phablet. With a strategy of a global release, during a specific time of the year, most like Apple does. It's the best way. New devices every 3 months might keep Nokia in the newspaper headlines but is a little confusing for a general audience that doesn't follow WP8 as we do. And, from time to time, do something like Lumia 1020. Something totally different.

You probably mean mini tablet.
Anyway, it's so large, Windows RT would make sense on this!
