My silly (mostly) 1520 family...

In my family (which includes my parents, brother and our immediate household) we are definitely a Lumia Family (7 out of 13 are using 1520, so not too bad).

• Wife: Yellow 1520, Red 2520 (tablet)
• Mom: Red 1520
• Oldest Son: Black 1520
• Myself: Black 1520 (32gb)
• Father: Black 1520
• Brother: Red 1520
• Middle Son: White 635
• Uncle: Black 920
• Aunt: Red 920
• Oldest Nephew: 920
• Youngest Nephew: iPhone 5 (I guess we can't win 'em all... :winktongue: )
• Cousin: Green 930
• Sister: White 1520

Needless to say, with the scarcity of the 1520's going around, I had to get my hands on a few spares, just in case. :cool:

However, it's nice to be a Lumia family and it's even nicer that I did not have to talk ANYONE into switching to Lumia. They did so on their own and no one has any regrets!!

Anyone else have a Lumia family?

Wow is all I can say. That's a lot of Lumia phones!

We have 4 in our family, with a couple with friends but nothing like that.

The spouse and I are sporting white and yellow Lumia 1520. The 6 years old uses the trusty and durable Lumia 520. Thank goodness for some pink Mofi back cover, as she really wanted a pink mobile! The grandparents were gifted Lumia 625 and 635 and love them too! This 2015 the 4 year old will also have her own Lumia before she turns 5. So yup, you're not alone, LOL!

Well my family used to be a Lumia family....
Me:Lumia 820
Dad:Lumia 1020
Mum:Lumia 925
Sister:Lumia 920
Brother:Lumia 920

All the phones are black except for the 925, its the dark grey colour.

But now Dad gave up his 1020 for an iPhone 6. So now I use his 1020.

Mom: Lumia 635
Dad: Lumia 635
Brother: Lumia 920
Brother: One Plus (Had a 920, bot the One Plus to tide him over till next WP flagship)
Brother: Lumia 635
Sister-in-law: Lumia 635
Girlfriend: Lumia 920
Me: Lumia 1520

Was very close to convincing my father to get a 928...went to Verizon all ready to pull the trigger. But, as he's an old school guy and not at all tech savvy, he treats those doofuses in the red Verizon shirts as all knowing and after 20 minutes of a couple of them bad mouthing Windows phone and the 928, he walked out with a Droid Ultra.

I really thought the tile setup would be good for him. He's never going to have a lot of apps so he would've had a nice clean screen with just the basic stuff. So now he has an Android and has no clue what he's doing half the time.

Me: Yellow 1520.3, Yellow 1020, Cyan 920, Black 520
Wife: Black 928
Kids (Cats): No phones

Dad: Black 929
Mom: White 822
Sister: I dont know. She lives in Korea ... havent seen her since 2010.

Our phones have sort of changed a bit as have our carriers lol
Me: Att Lumia 1520(yellow)

Mother: She has had quite a few windows phones. Had the Lumia 1020...Broke it. Has a Lumia 635 and broke that within a month......She still uses it. I'll probably be sure to get her a new phone when her birthday in March rolls around even though she breaks whatever phone she gets. I'd love to get her a Lumia 535.

Sister: Att Lumia 1520(She has my old red but her own yellow...She likes to 'switch' depending on the day)

My Younger Brother: Lumia 930

My Little Brother(12): Lumia 830

Baby Brother(10): Lumia 635

Step Brother #1(16): Lumia 920...He is obsessed with that phone. He has it in red.

Step Brother #2(13): Former iPhone user....Then went to M8 and Hated it and joined the rest of the best and is now rocking a Lumia 1520(Hate him as I wanted the Green)

Cousin: M8 windows...Sigh

Boyfriend: Lumia Icon


I feel like I am missing someone

Me: Black Lumia 1520
Wife: JUST got an LG G3 - She likes Windows when she uses my phone but has been on Android for a long time and is afraid to switch. For now... *evil laugh*
Kids: None

Everyone else in my family uses Android or iOS. I'll likely get my daughters Lumias when they are old enough (they're five and two now). They love their Stream 7 tablets we got them for Christmas and I'm hoping it'll be easier to transition to a Windows Phone when the time comes.

Edit - removed because it did come off as negative! Sorry guys!

Gf 920-1020 (too many problems to list) along with lack of apps needed for work and social, switched to iPhone 6, she's very happy.
Daughter - 900 to iPhone 5s.

The fanboys will think I'm bashing, but I'm just stating how's it went for us. IPhone is clearly better for our needs. Glad they've worked out for others though!

Lol i don't think you are bashing but I do wonder what possesed you to want to share that as it appears to be negative than positive which is what the thread was for lol.

There's a switching platform thread that is better suited for this :P

You're right, sorry. Edited my comment. I don't want to spread negativity!

Anyone else have a Lumia family?

What about your youngest child?

I've only got 6 Lumias in my family (5 are mine). Rest are iPhones :/

You are lucky. My wife still sticks to her's iphone 5s

We have been a WP family for a few years now. All had 822 to start and left Verizon for Tmo 3 months ago.
Here is the line up of phones;
Me: 1520
Wife: 1020, she is a professional photographer.
Oldest daughter: 925, light weight and " fits in my pocket"
Middle child: iPhone 5c, she just switched to give apple a go.
Youngest daughter: 521, she is 11 and it's indestructible and $50.
Farther in Law: 521, he is 70 and not tech savvy. Her has visited the MS store and started to take classes.
Getting ready to put my mother on our plan and in a WP.

Hah, that's just like us, I convinced quite a lot people to get a Windows Phone.

Myself: Yellow 1520
Wife: Black 930
Mother: Yellow 920
Brother: Black 620 (although broken atm)
Brother-in-law: Black 920
Uncle: Black 925
Among our friends: a green 820, yellow 820, white 630

That's a lot of 1520's. Good for you.

Brother: Icon - Black
Father: Icon - Black
Mother: Icon - White
Best Buddy: Icon - Black
Kids (Cats): I bought them old flip phones........

Interestingly, when I took my parents (late 70's) to the local Verizon store to get them their first smart phones, the Verizon honk actually encouraged Windows Phones as "easier to learn and navigate"...... both my folks love their Icons and have become quite proficient with them.

Nope just me in the family, heck I don't have a Lumia anymore. But I should be able to get a Lumia phone soon now that I found a better job. I'm the teksavvy guy in the family so basically to them, if it works then don't change it.

Haha, I love this thread! :)

Me and my brother are sportin red Lumia 1520's,and our mom is on an iPhone 5

Me - red 520, soon white 925
Girlfriend - yellow 635
Mother - black 8X
Sister - black 8X
Father - golden LG G2 (Android freak, keeps flashing it all of the time, Qi charging doesn't work haha)
Hard time trying to convert the daddy :/

Me - 521, soon 1020
Mom - 635
Dad - 521

Me: 1520
Queen: 830
MiniMe1: 920
MiniMe2: 920

I'm the only one in my family (and I have a LARGE family) with a Windows Phone. My wife is the only one in our family with an Android. Everyone else drank the Apple Kool-aid. Additionally, I won't be converting my wife anytime soon since her *essential* apps aren't in Windows Phone. Oh well - to each their own.

Everything has been started with me buying a Lumia 820, 2 years ago. And now... (:

Myself: 1520 and 820 (I'll go for 830 in 2 weeks)

Me Lumia 925 Black
Mom Lumia 520 Black
Dad Lumis 520 Black
and my Sister has a Galaxy SIII Meh..

Me: Currently L920, new phone coming (more on that on a thread soon).
Son: A red L920 he just loves.
Daughter: Yellow L1020 that she has yet to stop playing with.

Wife: Not so much. LG G Flex. She rocks an Android and makes fun of Bing.

Love some of the families here. Warms my Live Tile heart.

Me: Lumia 1520
​Mother: iPhone 5S
Father: iPhone 5C
​Brother: Galaxy Note 3
Sisters: 2 iPhone 5C, 1 Lumia 521

​Talk about inconsistent.

I'm lonly in my family.
all of them are using android.
but most of my brothers want their next phone to be Lumia

me - Lumia 1520
wife - Lumia 920
daughter - iPhone 6 (she must be adopted, JK)
SiL & neice = Lumia 521s - they asked for a T-Mobile smartphone suggestion (coming from feature phones) & I suggested those (perfect starter phones, plus I did NOT relish doing Android tech support)

7 Lumia phones here. 1520, 2 1020s, 2 925s, 1320 and 920. HTC 8x for the non Lumia

I just ordered a 1020 from the recent expansys sale for my wife. she's been jealous of my 925s camera and Cortana for a while. She's on an iPhone 5 now. We'll see if she can handle the change. She's not particularly tech savvy. Worst case, I get an upgrade ��

Me: Black 920 & Yellow 720
Wife: Yellow 1520
... and that's it. Small compact lumia unit of two people against "them" .. everyone else keep bugging me about the great pictures we shot... I'll just say "we shot em on manual mode" 😁

Me: Orange 625
Brother: Cyan 535
Mother: Black 535
Father: White 535

As you can see, my family has just switched when they saw the price and specs of Lumia 535 😁

My brother has issues with Lumia 535's touchscreen though, but latest update (almost) fixes that. Overall we are happy with our Lumias 😁

Me : 720
Dad : 635
Cousin bro : 1320
Cousin bro 2 : 1320
Cousin sis : 1320
Uncle : 1320
Awesome !

Me: 920 and 1520
Daughter: iPhone 4s (she's into the whole "my friends have an iPhone so I want one too" phase)
Dad: 520 until he got Blu Win JR (loves it)
Mom: iPhone 5c (because my aunt persuaded her, it's my old other phone)
Younger Brother: 920
Older Brother: Droid Maxx (wants a WP but Verizon's selection sucks)

I'm the only one in the family with devices with all three OS.

i guess, forward ur details to microsoft.
they will take ur family as brand ambassador.

That is one impressive list, too bad im not so lucky, im using my ancient but trusty little 620, my dad uses an iphone 4, my brother uses a nexus 5 (at one point it broke and he had to use symbian for a while lol) and my mom uses a zenfone 5, my sister is using a galaxy duos thing, no idea what the model is i tried looking up they all look exactly the same. Anyway she hates the crap out of it and wants an upgrade. i might just recommend her the 735.
I recommended my close friend a 920 2 year ago and he loves it

Wife: Lumia 920, due for a change to something new though. Needless to say it's gonna be a Lumia again.
oldest son: Lumia 925
second oldest son: Lumia 1320
me: Lumia 1520

My other two kids are too young for smartphones just yet. But no doubt they're gonna follow us. :)

You only have yourself to blame for the scarcity.

I want to migrate to a 1520 but I'm amazed how expensive they still are off contract.

Youngest child is only 7, I don't think he needs a phone at this time. :D

Hehe, I am a former Microsoft Employee, they knew and people liked it. I can name a few other families from my group of Microsoft friends that would be impressive and even out-do my list (some of them have HUGE families)! LOL

Being here in Miami, it's pretty much a sea of iPhones, especially where I work. However, I have seen a few other Lumia's floating around and with some people taking a look at my 1520, they are ready to switch when they have their next upgrade. :D

Me : 920 (in next couple of days my 1520 will arrive)
Sister : 925
Dad : Will have my 920 after my 1520 arrive
Out of curiosity out of the seven 1520 that your family own, how much is having tap/scroll/phantom touch issue?

I'm the blacksheep in my family with my 1520 :) My wife and daughter both have iPhones and all the rest of our devices are Apple too. I love watching them try to do things on my phone. It's quite amusing ;D

None that anyone has mentioned. I k ow that none of the 1520's I have had presented that issue (I have had 3 for warranty for other unrelated issues).

Glad to hear that your 1520 doesn't have that issue. My 1520 has arrived and it also doesn't have the touch issue. I'm really happy with my 1520 ^^

Reading about your families here made me think that my family has been living under a rock lol

Me: 1020. Will hold until 1030 :)
Dad: Nokia E90 (yes, you read it right) and a Samsung Android tablet. I might try to lure him into 1520 or maybe the rumored upcoming 1330 someday should his tab starts being idiotic.
Mom: an old BlackBerry. She refuses to use a smartphone :(
Little bro: Nokia C7 and Smartfren Andromax C3 (a Chinese low-cost Android)
Little sis: an old Nokia (I forgot the model) and an iPad 4th gen. Showed interest on my 1020. Should I upgrade, she'll get my 1020 ;)
Girlfriend: a Samsung Galaxy phone. I might force her to use a Lumia when she becomes my wife lol :p

Well people start to want more WP in Europe :)

Me: Red 1520 and Band
Wife: iPhone 6, Surface Pro and a Band
Son 1: Red 920
Son 2: iPhone 5
Daughter 1: 521
Daughter 2: 521
Son 3: 521
