New phones are coming out quicker and quicker. The normal cycle was 12 months, now new phones are being released almost bi-monthly. Everyone wants to be first to market with the latest gimmick. Most of us are more interested in bigger batteries (3500mAh+). Although improving, it is still a secondary consideration for the manufacturers.

      Lol, 300$ is called high price. In russia 1020 costs 1000$. RIP Nokia. Even if russian prices are retarded, they usually 30-50% higher, but, 200%- nice joke

        The high price is a fatal flaw. Customers would be wary of spending so much for a relatively unknown OS. Nokia should build up Windows Phone's reputation first before asking for that kind of price.

                  Websites have made allegations that MAJOR OS update that is likely to succeed WP8 will not make it to current devices. Definitely disturbing for new buyers.
                  Better buying an S4 or HTC One + a happy life till 2years.

                          HTC One is the best Android phone when it comes to both hardware and software. Sense 5 is the only nice custom Android UI. Everything else looks cheap and amateur.

                            I wouldn't buy an Xperia Z instead of a SGS4 and HTC One. I've used an Xperia Z in a store and I was appalled by its poor screen quality. Xperia Z screen looks like those of cheap Chinese Android phone's screen. Even some of them have better screens than Sony's.

                                Its because of Windows Phone OS.

                                  AnonD-3575, 30 Jul 2013i think its a bit too early to analyze sales of 1020not for some analysts who have to deliver the desired results of the ones paying, I think Nokia should have hired this guy a long time ago, this way they would have least known not to bother creating 1020...
