        It's not even of my kind. I was thinking of buying it in February when Nokia will be launching Goldfinger. I am sure 1520's prices would have been dropped by that time but I thought again about it and stopped myself from buying one. It will just a waste of money for me as I already have a big Note 2.

Almost an year is over and Lumia black update is on it's way along with Windows Phone 8.1 blue. How is it that the support ended in months?

Worst of all is making calls with it. My Note 2 is an example, it's the best device for entertainment but I can't use it to make calls. I do SMS with one hand but the size is just too big.

                My preference is 4.5"-5" any device about this limit cannot be my primary phone no matter how much powerful, beautiful or cheap it is. If I would be too much biased with Nokia. I would have sold the Note 2 and have already bought the 1520 instead.

And yes, this applies to even the "newly" released and announced Asha phones!

                  This is the truth! And if you don't believe like the other things I've said; then watch and observe!

                    AnonD-134497, 18 Dec 2013Of course Windows Phone has issues. Lot's of issues. Even w... more...the only thing I don't like about android is the size factor, no, I don't have small hands :P my hands are big enough for an Indian teenager. But I don't like how they are increasing screen size, I myself like 4 inch+ or Not more than 5 inch smartphone. Nowadays all the android flagship has 5 inch or over 5 inch displays, the only breathing area is the upcoming Z1 mini if the rumours are correct.

It's Microsoft that will prevent them from launching an Android. Eventually, Nokia with Android will sell more than Windows Phone 8 and that will slowly start killing the already "low" sales of Windows Phone. When I read the first news about Nokia launching a forked Android in the form of Moneypenny, I highly doubted at that time it's gonna happen.

Please check out blog.gsmarena sometimes. You'll have the idea. Some users(Ms fans) here are a bit too much biased with them as they are denying the facts about WP8 not so mature. But please do not count me among them. I have already told you that many times.

                        Thank you.

Yeah wp8 is smooth, but we need power in our hands not a brick that is SO SMOOTH
