First World Problems - 830, 930, 0r 1520?

[pankaj981]

I recently bought a 1520 (green one) and might start using it for a few days once I'm back in the states. I always wanted to buy a 930 but after reading about all the heating issues my unlocked RM-985 running denim was the only better option in the 5 inch department (blame Microsoft for not building a mini 1520 or a hybrid between 930 and 830 with the best of both). I still love my 830 and in daily tasks it really stands out...great camera, battery life, glance, wireless charging and a premium looking device. Plus since WinXM does remove some of the black themed UI having a OLED/LCD screen really doesn't matter anymore.

I love big phones. My next phone will be the size of 1520. You just gotta pick a phone that suits you. I'm not a tall guy, but I love big displays.

I have been thinking that 1520 screen is too big. But, I think I may test drive it for a few days to see how it feels in actual use, then decide.

So, pursuant to our little conversation here and my urge for a 1520...took my daughter's nexus 6 to use at work today to see how I would handle a large phone. In and out of pocket, trying to one-hand it and generally manipulate the thing while doing normal workday tasks. Then did some grocery shopping and several errands. It was a no-go. Simply too big for comfortable use(for me). So I will happily continue using my beautiful 930. I guess if I were a lady of leisure and could just whip it out of my purse for casual use, it might be different. The size was too much for my real-world usage. Guess I'm cured

Having used a 4.7 inch screen iPhone 6 the last two weeks I have to say i will be going back to phablet size soon because this is no fun. The 1520 is a beast but it does its job well.

My plan of attack is this:

I'll list the 1520 for sale first. If it sells quickly, then I'll keep the 930. If it doesn't, I'll list the 930.

So, the libertarian in me will take the market solution. :angel:

I would just keep the 1520 and sell the rest... But that's me.

List the 930 for how much?

Temptation?

Well, the 1520 hasn't sold yet. PM me if you please.

Ok...I am humbly asking forgiveness from the community for the above hypocrisy. Bought gordinfink's 1520 today because I am weak and flawed. Mea Culpa. (but I'm also excited as hell!).

Which I sincerely appreciate. The market worked, and get to keep my 930!

Now, being the fool I am, I didn't have the money for 2 hours before I bought yet another 930.

I prefer the term "dedicated fan" to describe you folks (as well as myself.. I replaced a broken yellow AT&T 1520 with a green AT&T 1520..).
