Will the 1520 continue to have support?

[Luismi22]

Support as for updates and software. Since it has more than a year out. I'm asking just to know if I should change my 830 for a 1520. Is it a good option?

 

[Ed Boland]

Absolutely! The 1520 without a doubt, as ALL WP8 handsets have been confirmed to get Windows 10 once it comes out next year. I don't see the 1520 losing support anytime soon at all.

Well, taking into account that the 1520 appears to be THE flagship device after the rollout of Denim materializes, supporting (almost?) every feature the OS has in store, I guess the answer should be YES.

 

[Luismi22]

Mmm ok...i just renewed my contract and they gave me 14 to change my phone...i think I'm going for a 1520 tomorrow.

So far as I can tell... 930/Icon not having Glance enabled and One (M8) not getting Denim makes 1520 THE ONLY ONE to get EVERYTHING coming in the next OTA official.

Yes.

are you sure?

1520 is in a different league as a phablet. It's the flagship and the green revision refreshed it.

It'll be relevant for a long time still, at least into 2016. It's a good buy.

 

[RumoredNow]

are you sure?

I am... Look here: http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/2014/09/04/lumia-denim-update/

"Hey Cortana" is not coming to any phone with less than a Snapdragon 800. This is well established and cuts out everything except 930/Icon, 1520 and HTC One (M8) for Windows... Only 3 left just based on that.

According to the conversation (linked), "Hey Cortana" is Denim Firmware and HTC will not get that, but never mind; HTC could put the feature in their own firmware. And while One (M8) already has HDR... I don't believe it will ever get Moment Capture features such as Denim brings to 930/Icon and 1520. Just 2 left.

Glance Screen improvements are part of Denim as well... 930/Icon does not and can not have Glance enabled... Just one left... 1520.

Unless you know something I don't?

Alright...so today it's the day. So in terms of software it will be okay for a while...now it's just a "how comfortable are u in my hand and pocket" stuff. I'll go to att at try it.

Thanks a lot people

 

[Luismi22]

Whaaaaat!! I just went to att and the sales guy told me that they didn't hace the lumia 1520 anymore because he heard that "some" new Nokia was coming out probably between february or march...plzz tell me this is a joke

 

[RumoredNow]

Staff at the stores are notoriously uninformed for the most part... Any carrier brand, any store... Especially when it comes to Windows Phone.

Contract or No Contract: Black, Yellow or Red. Your choice. AT&T - Nokia Lumia 1520 - Microsoft Store

 

[Asik15]

It should be supported. It's still a beast

 

[lostlogik]

Yes, I was looking at getting one but note that it is now showing as discontinued in a lot of places. Think I'll wait a little longer.

 

[Luismi22]

I went to three att stores and everybody told me the same...that a Microsoft agent gave them like a conference to talk about some new lumias that were coming between Feb and march...let's see

 

[heelio]

Any ideas as to model numbers/is one a flagship?

I'm not disputing what you say at all...

This makes no sense as a strategy. Pull the only high$$$ WP phone on sale at any US carrier (Vzw dropped Icon) just before the holiday and advise customers who want to spend money to wait 3 months.

I think these Reps must have misunderstood something.

 

[Luismi22]

Well i hope so! Because i bought a 830 two weeks ago. It will be painfull to see a new WP already haha
