Any 1520 users here?

I picked up a 640 while my 1520 is being repaired and I'm actually astounded by this practically disposable $80 phone. My only complaint was I couldn't do a SIM swap and had to go to the AT&T store.

Are there any other 1520 user's here and what were your thoughts? For some reason it seems to me the digitizer is better on the 640. It just feels a little more accurate and responsive. Not sure if that is true or just imagined. Or it could be I've gone from Win 10 to Win 8.1. Win 8.1 just works and seems to provide significantly better UX.

Totally agree with what you said about the UX. Though I am not a 1520 user, I do own a 640 as my daily driver and have tested several builds of Win 10 on it and have found them all but unusable. Win 8.1 is far from perfect but it is definitely more stable and fluid. I'm not sure I like the direction Win 10 is going on mobile but we'll see how it pans out. The Lumia 640 is the best sub-$100 phone on the market. Bar none.

Have to agree 100%. Been a 820 user for over two years. Tried the 640 (how could you not at that price.) and was very surprised how good it is. Use it now as my primary phone.
