There may be something to this! :amaze: The time on the clock on the phones' retail display is the the model of the phone.
What would happen when Lumia 660, 960 etc. come out?? :S

Bring something truly revolutionary, and we'd definitely see that make a difference.
What will make absolutely no difference is attempting to sell devices by "pushing" specs, as advocated for here. Keeping up with the Jones' is important, as it gives people who already like WP (us) a viable upgrade option, but it's basically just treading water. It will do absolutely nothing to get Android/iOS users to switch, and since all OEMs have access to the same components, there is no way for WP to pull ahead using that strategy.
In that case your crystal ball is better than mine. Mine doesn't show me the future and where technology is headed as good as yours. :wink:If you are looking for revolutionary tech then look elsewhere, like VR headsets. The magical feature the windows phone community is hoping for doesn't exist.
4 GB is preposterous for a phone and that too running windows. All that is required is a good enough GPU for handling high end games and managing the camera.The 4 GB RAM and single color for the 1020 makes no sense to me but otherwise good specs. Wouldn't get my hopes up for fingerprint sensors or such a large battery on the 1020 successor though.
My I phone owning friends are shocked that my Lumia 930 has wireless charging. I wouldn't go back to a handset that didn't have that feature built in.
I do like wireless charging but it charges a lot a slower. I do not know the time difference. Does anyone know?

I think that we are missing the point of what the true definition of flagship is supposed to represent. it's not supposed to be the smartphone with the most advanced specs but the smartphone that epitomizes and showcases the best elements of that phones name sake. We know that Samsung has set the bar for front loading the spec sheet, and it has conditioned our thinking to assume that is what the benchmark for a flagship should be. The average consumer isn't going to remotely test the threshold of the capacity of what the Galaxy S6 can do let alone really understand what it is, but they'll be the first to say it comes with the most advanced chipset. that's like buying a Ferrari because it can go from 0-80 in 0.6 seconds. What's the sense if you're an elementary school teacher? You're not a NASCAR or INDY care driver?!! The reality is the paradigm in the US evolves around the status quo. What's "in" and what is socially acceptable. This goes hand in hand with affordability. If you can't afford a Ferrari, you're not even going to consider one. If you can't afford an iPhone, you're going to consider other options. This is why WP is showing more success in Europe. MSFT's best way to get people to gravitate to the Windows Mobile experience is buy getting them to see it through something they already use, which for most is the desktop which MSFT still dominates. Most iPhone and Android users also use some form of Windows desktop. With Windows 10 one ecosystem approach seeing the seamless transition between the desktop and phone will be a refreshing sight. Furthermore, I see MSFT doing what they did with the Surface Pro 3, and that is bridging the gap between phone and phablet. If they can produce a phone that is equivalent to the Surface Pro 3, then they will have succeeded in producing the best mobile experience without having to mimic Androids overloaded spec sheet.
Are you saying we buy more Windows phones in Europe because we cannot afford iPhones? Rofl. Give me a break. It think we Europeans are a little less mind ****ed and Apple crazy. Even poor people buy iPhones if they want one.
I don't understand why some many people wanna more and more power in their phones...it's a phone is not not where you use photoshop or Autocad 3D, why do you wanna a screen with bigger resolution than 1080p x 1920 pixels and this is a lot in a tinny 5" screen but then with all that power the battery has still to last more than one day or two while o play a lot with your phone. The way this is going in a few years people will try to get in their pocket something with the size of your house door.
I know but then what you do with your tablet?I'm sure some would like it, having those in their phone and working well
For eastern European countries that were formerly "puppet states" of the USSR, that's probably true. In western Europe it's not.This goes hand in hand with affordability. If you can't afford a Ferrari, you're not even going to consider one. If you can't afford an iPhone, you're going to consider other options. This is why WP is showing more success in Europe.
I know but then what you do with your tablet?
sometimes when you are on the go, you start up from the phone then jump to a tablet for more and finish it off from a computer...
Ok that maybe be a good workflow for some people, I had to buy a 24" screen for photo photo editing so think on do it in a 5" screen is kinda messed up for me
