If you bought your L1520 from ebay, can you please post a link of the seller and maybe give a review of your satisfaction.
My suggestion would be to stick with the buying within the USA if you're there. It's easier to deal with anything that goes wrong that way.
new devices are going for ~ $400 - $450 (AT&T version), ~ $500 + up for unlocked int'l phone.
Links (trusted sellers) ?
Bought mine from never_msrp and it died after 3 months. They would do absolutely nothing to help get it repaired under the international warranty. Have purchased 3 lumia phones from them - never again.:unhappy:
