I think it's kind of funny we've gone from scrambling to find a Unicorn in stock to the present listing on NewEgg that says "limit five per customer."

If one can resell it on ebay for $900, I can see why people are grabbing as many as they can. :shocked: I just want a red one for the wifey for the same price as Newegg.

That was when they where out of stock. Now they have been selling for $590-$630 range.

As popular as the RM-938 is right now, I'm sure it will continue to run out in short time.

Just a warning on the Poetic case...easy in...impossible to get off!!
Almost damaged the edge of my phone trying.

Holes may need to be dremeled to allow a push out....super rigid plastic.

I have moved to my Nillkin case which is pretty awesome!

Received my 1520.3 from Newegg yesterday, and updated it to 8.1 first thing. This phone is great so far, using it on Straight Talk w/AT&T SIM.

Do you need any update? I received my from Newegg last week. After installed the Battery program, that program showed that I have already made few hours call. I am very unsure if newegg.com sells brand new or repack item to us.

That was one of the first things I checked, and it had 00:00:00

Anyone else buy a yellow 1520 from Newegg and have yellow/brownish capacitive buttons? I've also noticed my camera button seems very loose.

We need a Lumia 930.3 with SDcard and Glance

I had my first experience of my phone getting really warm (hot?). I was in a building where the signal was weak to non-existent, and I was playing solitaire. It had been awhile since I had cycled power so there may have been a few apps running In the background. I noticed the top of the phone getting pretty hot. I went ahead and shut it down for awhile and let it cool down. It's been back on for an hour and running normal now. I'm wondering if that effort to find a signal is what caused the heating.

Gaming will some times cause the phone to hear up. Or using the GPS. This had been my experience at with the 937 and 938

I played a little solitaire this morning and sho nuff--it got hot. I want to try a different version of solitaire to see if it's limited to the one I'm using (Microsoft Solitaire Collection). Seems crazy a rather simple game that is not very graphic intensive would cause this.

Those that bought this newest batch of 1520.3s. Do you have the dreaded swipe/tap bug?

I have had it happen to me a couple of times, however each occurrence was a pretty minimal/lazy swipe on my account (like less than a quarter of an inch). If I'm doing normal usage I haven't seen it.

Will that unlocked phone from Newegg be getting the WP8.1 update directly from Microsoft?

I just want to THANK whomever was the 1st person to make comment about adding the Spanish Keyboard to the phone to unlock Internet Sharing..... I cannot believe that worked! IF anyone has any insight to why it worked, it would be nice to know. Jesus man, I've been trying all sorts of stuff, even had a VERY nice lady from At&t work with me on this for a couple of hours and even elevated it to higher tech support which called back and tried a few things but with NO success!

Now i'm debating if i want to go for the Developer Preview update or just wait for the native update to 8.1... Which reminds me to ask, i noticed that my phone is a slight version (1402.0001) behind what Nokia's website list as the current production firmware (1407.1001). Even the At&t branded version is now updated to the nokia's listed latest.
Is there another trick, when i go to do the update check, it states that i'm up to date. I'm curious because i hope i will get the stable 8.1 release for the phone

I get an errant tap now and then...not nearly enough for me to put it in the "dreaded" class. I've trained myself to have a very light touch when trying to swipe.

Actually, it will come from Nokia in the Lumia Cyan update, which includes 8.1 and new firmware

No, but I did notice it is more sensitive than my 928. Which I thought was not sensitive enough. So, I'm really liking the 1520 touch at this point.
