READY TO BUY ? INTERNATIONAL OR ATT VERSION or WAIT

[L I N A D L]

IM READY TO JOIN THE 1520 COMMUNITY.

just unsure if i should purchase the international or ATT model ...... or should i really just hold out til January in hopes of Rogers variant

I Really want my 32gb internal storage ..... but ATT ISNT SPEAKING . nor is Roger interested ....

What do you guys think ? what would you do?

I would go for the international version has Wireless charging inbuilt.

Edit: Has got microSD.

BIGPADDY - You're off on that. The AT&T model has a MicroSD expansion slot.

The AT&T model's limits are:

No Qi charging (PMA wireless charging via a shell/case)

16GB storage onboard, not 32GB - this is the worst part.

Even considering those limitations, I do rather like my yellow 1520 (AT&T / RM-940) model.

AT&T version sucks, get the RM-937, it's much better. Qi wireless is a godsend and having that 32 GB of internal storage is very important. I've already used up a lot of it so I couldn't imagine only having 12GB usable. I don't miss having LTE either, the speeds I get with HSPA+ are more than enough for HD video streaming:

thats exactly what im beating myself over... what town and state ? im in jersey in very populated areas. so im guessin the hspa+ (4g?) is fast enough right ?

This is what I just tested with using my "crippled" AT&T 1520.

WELL ,, NOW THAT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE .... makes me want to hold out now idk... i swear ATT better not mess with its 32gb by taking out the micro sd slot. my patience is running so thin

And that lte speed is capped so its completely pointless. Better off using WiFi for large downloads. HSPA+ does hd video streaming perfectly so lte is nearly useless with bandwidth caps. You're better off with 32 gb internal storage and qi wireless rather than being stuck with a gimped phone. OP, for T-Mobile another user on this forum reported HSPA+ speeds that are much faster than what AT&T gets if you're in a refarmed area.

In the end, it's the OP's call as to what he wants. Each phone is crippled in its way. The RM-938, when/if it releases, will bring a true "full" experience for 1520 users on AT&T.

This should help the OP a bit: http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-1520/252792-international-1520-vs-t-1520-your-pick.html I had the same dilemma and went with the RM-937. Just depends on whether you REALLY need that LTE speed or not. For me it wasn't so important.
