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.

Thanks for confirming which region it's intended for. With that said, has it not actually been released in Latin America and these are just devices that some folks have managed to get early? If so, when is the actual planned release in LA? Maybe we'll see them become more widely available then?

guys I wanted to know what data speed I can expect if I buy RM-937 version. I will be using T-Mobile (I stay in refarmed area).
I think $625 too expensive for RM-638 when I can get RM-637 at $515. I do know I wont be getting LTE speed but would like to know the difference between speeds using 937 and 938 models.

my tests of a 937 on ATT show about 6 Mbps +/- 0.7 mbps.

I'm justifying. Just to sum up new egg RM 938 is 32g with wireless charging. Warranty might be an issue. Is this about right.

It has been released in Latin America - they're selling them down here where I am living in Chile, and the ads are in lots of newspapers.

Just as an explicit verification: Today, I was driving through a T-Mobile cell that hadn't been reformed. My ATT 1520/RM-940 said "E" for Edge; my Newegg 1520.3/RM-938 said "H+," presumably for HSPA+. So, yes, definitely fully T-Mobile band compatible.

Thanks...if same speed is available for T mobile in refarmed area, then I will mostly be buying 937 model...I have 1GB limit for high speed data service and currently, my max usage on data services is 250MB (mostly use WiFi)

Ok, good to know. So why so few popping up? Especially on Amazon..its the mother of all goods!

Hopefully someone here would answer this: I am waiting for the elusive 1520 to arrive. I also ordered this Nilkin Case. If i put this case on the 1520, will Qi charging work with the Nokia Qi Wireless charging plate?

That looks to be the same thickness my case is and it works fine, I also have my charger plate under my table so it is also working through that.

So I broke down and bought a White RM-938 from Newegg.com to use on T-mobile. It should arrive by Thursday. I almost got the Yellow version, but I went and ordered the Yellow Nokia flip case instead from Amazon. Can't wait to try this phone out and get the tethering working. Does anyone know if T-mobile ever does come out with an official version of the 1520 on their network, would I be able to somehow flash the firmware on the phone with T-mobile's version of the firmware?? That is assuming they're both rm-938 models. Then Wi-Fi calling would probably work on this phone.

Is it worth it to buy the Newegg 1 year Additional warranty? Anyone have experience using it?

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

I got mine yesterday and I can confirm it works very well with LTE on ATT.

 

[Marek Marzec]

got my yellow one from newegg this morning works perfect on tmo

got mine today, works perfectly, had to use the Spanish keyboard trick to get internet sharing to work though. On Att LTE as I type this. 32 GB, Qi charging and all.

Ran speed test, can't figure out how to post pics from the app, 5 down .98 up

 

[TheBadGuy_88]

I got it! I'm never going back! I can't! My typing speed has increased exponentially! Whoa! And the screen! I just need a micro SD card that can capture video without stuttering and I'm good for at least the rest of the year! I'm so excited! I got the black 1520.3, black Nokia flip case, I'm leaning towards the 64 GB extreme plus card since that's the one I literally haven't seen anyone say stutters when saving video. I did a network speed test and saw 20+ down and 11 up! #UnicornsAreReal

Update: Any Americans leaning on the fence, just get it! There's nothing else coming from "Nokia". The 930 will not launch in the country, the ICON is extremely limited outside of Verizon(not to mention, no glance because of a hardware flaw, and no micro SD support) and the 635 has the same amount of ram as the HD2. This is it! Microsoft probably won't launch a phone until the holiday season at the earliest. Invest in this beast! I can literally take this phone anywhere in the world, Its not tied to any company, #JustDoIt

Don't mind me, I'm just being a #BadInfluence, this "Bad" purchase feels sooo good, #NoRegrets

Hello everyone.
I just got my Lumia 1520 RM938 from NewEgg.
I had ordered mine last Friday Morning & received it last night. I'm soooo happy to see 4G LTE on T-Mobile. I'm going to work in an hour so no time to "fix" the tethering problem.
Anyone waiting on the fence, it's the real deal. Now I'm posting my 1520 RM937 up for sale on Ebay.
Yeah Baby.

 

[Kacey Green]

Wife was a little jealous that mine has Qi, hers is att and doesn't have the pma sled her fatboy charger is in a drawer now

LOL - I am so on the fence but you talked me into it. I am just waiting to see if the price goes down some more
