Lumia 1520.3 w/ AWS, 700Mhz and QI

Got mine ordered from new egg. I have been gone for a while so what os this Spanish keyboard trick I hear so much about? Also, why the hell do you have to order a phone from new egg that is coming from south America when your in the states? Why would att want to hamstring a devise? Makes no sense. Rant.

All the people saying no WiFi, did T-Mobile remove the WiFi calling app from the store? I had a few phones with them that I just installed the app to.

On the occasion that I can find the T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling app in the app store, it tells me that it's not available for my RM-938, either because I'm on the wrong carrier or don't have the right firmware.

Newegg is really taking their sweet arse time to send me my replacement. They have received my device last Tuesday and the status still says "received". I hope that they don't send me a refurbished unit.

Yellow 1520.3 is ordered from Newegg! A question. Does 'Spanish' trick work also for T-Mobile?

Yes. It works in T-mobile (USA).

I wish the green and orange versions were out. Thinking of getting it in yellow but it feels very 2012. Probably partially because of this yellow 920 I've had for a year and a half.

Negri has had a good week. I just received my 1520.3 from them as well. Set up was easy although as others have noted, it starts out in Spanish on this model. I love the phone and was pleased to hear the ding-ding-ding when I placed it on my wireless charging stand. I only had the AT&T version of this phone for a week and was amazed at how spoiled I had become for wireless charging. When I turned on the phone it reported three bars of H+ where I usually get 2 of LTE at home on my Lumia 1020. This morning the 1520.3 is reporting 2 bars of LTE, same as the 1020. Is there a real difference between H+ and LTE?

I think the difference is speed. I noticed on mine the LTE is faster. T-Mo

How well does the 1520.3 synch with OSX? Does it attach like a thumb drive? Do I have to use a synch program like KIES to move files back and forth?

I have a Galaxy Note 1 right now. I assume I will have to get AT&T to issue me a new SIM.

It seems that Negri's price dropped... Coulda swore it was originally close to the 700 mark.
I ordered my 1520.3 from Negri on Friday and it shipped right away. A day later and it's already on Canadian soil, damn that's some fast shipping!!

Plus the $20 off coupon still works.

It syncs via Windows Phone Connector. It only syncs media files, photo etc.

I was wondering if there's gonna be problem on 4G network reception because the phone lacks 2100 frequency. Both T-Mobile USA and AT&T uses 2100 frequency on their 4G network. What's your thoughts/opinions on this? I looked at the pictures of the box and I didn't see "2100" printed on the LTE section. It has 1700 but no 2100.

Someone correct me I'm wrong. If you see 1700 on the box, 2100 is implied. If you only see 2100 on the box, 1700 isn't implied. As long as you see AWS or band 4, it should be fine on T-Mobile. Most of the reviews on this phone have been verifying that it does work on T-Mobile with no issues.

^^^ thanks. I hope you're right. I want to hear more opinion on this matter.

I just bought my Nokia Lumia 1520.3 (RM-938) 700, 850, 1900, AWS1700/2100 LTE bands, 32GB, built-in Qi wireless charging Unlocked version (from Newegg) a week and a half ago. NOTE: Newegg's website list the storage incorrectly as 16GB instead of 32GB that this model has. Winning!!!

 

[hcsinger]

Guys, take a closer look at the box. I have no problem with 3G network because it has all the necessary radio frequencies. My concern is the 4G network. It lacks 2100 frequency. I hope it is automatically implied when 1700 frequency is shown at the box, 2100 frequency is also present.

This may have been posted before, but I thought I would post an update on the prices I see.

Newegg's price is $624.99. Use the $25 coupon code CEWK880. This brings the total price to $599.99.

Negri's price is $657.50. Possibly use coupon code NE20OFFCART. This brings the total price to $637.50.

Newegg is the way to go if you're looking to save some cash. I'm not sure of any other sites that sell unlocked phones.


I just can't bring myself to buy this, since my unlocked AT&T 920 is still holding on strong!!
