Just started using the RM-1039 version from B&H Photo on T-Mobile. I'll be using this phone for a while for the heck of it. First I'd like to say the amoled screen is gorgeous. Reminds me of the Lumia 925. I have a Sandisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 class 10 64GB card installed and I've loaded several apps on it (no games). Only apps on phone memory are the stock OneDrive, Video, Lumia Camera, Lumia Storyteller, Lumia Selfie, Games, Calendar, Battery Saver, Podcasts, HERE apps, Music, and Files. The only maps I have installed are in phone memory (Oklahoma). I moved all MSN apps to the sd card along with App Social, Lumia Help+Tips, Transfer my Data. I uninstalled Skype and Facebook as I have no use for them.
So far I find this phone very fluid and a delight to use. No hiccups, stutters, lags. Very impressed to say the least! I've taken a couple of pictures with the 6.7MP camera and holy cow it produces outstanding images. Haven't taken any video tho. Took a silly selfie pic just to test and it's outstanding (for you selfie taking lovers).
I'm not a phone techie expert at all but I will say that this phone is an outstanding value in my opinion. If you don't *need* Pureview camera and such as in the 830 or 930 this is the phone to get. Great price (unlocked). It doesn't have Glance (a feature I really like) but I can live without it and I'm not hesitant at all using this phone without it. I can confidently recommend this phone to anyone that likes Lumia's but cannot afford the 830 or 930. You will not be disappointed in performance. Call quality is great. Speaker is very good with great clarity (I personally think it sounds better than the speaker on my 830).
Below I've posted a sample of the 4G LTE T-Mobile speeds I'm getting inside my apartment where I live. If you live in a city with good T-Mobile coverage (as I do) I'll say you can't really go wrong with this phone.
