Lumia 1520.3 w/ AWS, 700Mhz and QI

Can u in terms of speed (Mbps) elaborate it more (not theoretical speeds but actual speeds)...ie. what speeds should I expect in 938 and in 937 model.

Just placed order for the yellow one. Hoping that TMO LTE would work flawless. That's the case right?

Yep, should work flawlessly. I bought the white, but kind of wish I had known the yellow was incoming, otherwise I probably would have bought that. I guess I'll just have to find some interesting cases -maybe a cyan case.

937: Look up T-Mobile's 3G/fake 4G speed. If you are in an area with 1900MHz 3G you'll get that. I don't know what that is since I don't use TMO. If there's no 1900MHz 3G then you'll be forced to use 2G which is terribly slow.

The 938 will be able to get T-Mobile 3G speeds anywhere they have 3G and 4G speeds anywhere they have 4G.

Any hope that this will show up on Amazon at some point? Was this variant only recently released or something?

It is essentially between this and a Lumia 930, but I don't want to give up LTE for other features. Amazon would be nice because I have a bit of money in gift cards saved up.

Has anyone that has received the 1520.3 had any of the screen sensitivity issues discussed in the other threads?

 

[notebookgrail]

Is there any hack to enable wifi calling in this as it will be used with TMO even though it's not technically tmo branded?.

My 1520 from newegg has this screen sensitivity issue from time to time. It's not too big of a deal but I hope a fix comes out soon.

Not yet, wifi calling will need firmware update from tmobile which i hardly doubt tmobile would release for an unbranded phone

Has anyone tried flashing alternate ROMs onto the device? There are many RM-938 ROMs on NaviFirm... maybe one of those has APN settings not hidden?

What is the product code for this model? Should start with 059...

My steps was :

1.) Uninstall Spanish ( Mexico) Keyboard
2.) Reboot Phone
3.) Install Spanish (Spain) keyboard
4.) Reboot Phone (just to be safe)
5.) Turn on Internet Sharing

thanks, will try this when it gets here

I ordered mine! all black everything. I couldn't resist! all the bands I've been asking for, wish it was 32gb like my 920 but that SanDisk 128 should be just enough! finally no more at&t I seriously wish ill will on that company. they are turribul! this phone, with wp8.1, and that 128 micro sd card and I'm set for the rest of the year!

 

[Kacey Green]

Black here too, it was cheaper and they didn't have colorful ones

 

[notebookgrail]

The one i got from newegg 1520.3 has 32GB internal memory right and not as mentioned on the newegg specs?
Edit: Nevermind, figured it from few posts above of the confirmation of 32GB.

I'm cruising Amazon every day looking for it! Haha! Hopefully it'll show up soon. Not sure on why its not a highly available model in the market it was originally intended for.

If you bought the RM-938 version, it should have 32GB in built

This version (rm-938) is for Latin America. Seems this is why availability is limited.

yeah I realized that after rereading this thread! an even better deal. truly, the unicorn does exist!


the worst part about ordering something is the time in between ordering and receiving what you ordered! I WANT it NOW!

 

[gbold3]

With these fuzzy specs from the NewEgg site, has anybody confirmed this 1520.3 supports LTE on AT&T?

 

[christenmartin]

Damn i wish I could justify buying this MF! DAMN! You guys are killing me!

Can anyone comment about the warranty from newegg? I would really like to have a warranty for a year but with the phone not being local, it sounds like Nokia would not honor any requests for service if I have to send it in. I am wanting to buy one straight up for ATT and I'm trying to decide if the warranty for a year or Qi charging is more important (so far the warranty is winning).

Thanks in advance.
