I don't have any scripted testing to share but compared to the 920, seems so far with regular use over a few days, battery life is far superior. End of day I was at 60% on the 1520 with typical use whereas I would be at around 35-40% with the 920. Impressed with the battery life so far for sure.

Thanks dude. You give me more confidence to go ahead with 1520. By the way, which color you have chosen? I intially thought to buy yellow but now I incline to buy White after reading WPCentral review.

the keyboard still blocks big part of the screen and the keyboard ratio looks wierd. Luckily it's 6 niches screen. :-D

Keyboard is too big even on the smaller Windows phones. Too bad it scales up.

MichelleSV, could you make a review video of the 1520?

The Microsoft store and 2 AT&T stores wouldn't even talk about it. The Microsoft store and my regular AT&T both had them in store in multiple colors. I even showed the people at my favorite AT&T store your receipt they said the store that sold the devices early could get in big trouble for doing that. I guess I will just have to wait for Microsoft to ship my Pre order.

An AT&T store in Plano I went to on Sunday was already selling it (only had black in-stock). PM if you want to know which one. I don't want that location to get in trouble.

I went to my nearest AT&T store yesterday. Two things:

1. They had moved the WP display to the front of the store! It used to be towards the back, but they now had 4 models (one 920, one 1020, one 925 and one 1520) sitting at the first display you walk by when entering. At least they're making an effort.

2. The 1520 is a sweet phone. Like the 1020, pictures don't do it justice. It feels incredibly sleek, and even though it's large it felt great in my hand. For most things I could even use it one handed, even though I have by no means large hands. It feels thin, light and nimble, more so than the Galaxy Note 3 (though I like the Note 3's faux leather back, it's weird but kinda nice). It fit in my pocket fine, though sitting down with the phone in it could pose a problem...

Almost tempted to go back to AT&T just to get one... almost.

I agree, the 1520 is much more impressive when you actually hold and use it.
