Nokia Lumia 1520 preview: Second encounter

15 November 2013
Lagging behind Android in hardware specs for what seemed like ages, WP8 managed to catch up in one fell swoop. With the Lumia 1520 at the spearhead, Nokia evened the playing field with a massive 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 800 chipset, then tilted it...

Maybe because you popped on in a discussion about something and then made a remark of trollers/haters/bashing etc when none of that was there...except for maybe a certain user on your side.
I read your comment just fine. The obvious point was that you did not pay attention to the comments you were replying to/caused you to post in the first place...
Then for pointing out such ignorance you project more ignorance.

          i dont understand why people are ranting about apps and smoothness. I use whatsapp without a single hitch... Sure there were some bugs early on where you didnt get the notifications but now everything is fine.
          Also about the lag, I have more than 5000 text messages, almost 2000 photos, close to 25 videos and about 50 apps. - There is no lag whatsoever and i havent restarted or rebooted my phone since the last firmware update. Maybe your devices are faulty.
          App availability - Im not an "app-addict", i just have what i want and i have almost every official app except for a few like DropBox where i have third part alternatives which work just fine :)

          So for all the haters out there... first it was the NOKIA hardware gap, then it was the apps, now its the lag... Trolls... you better find more topics to criticize NOKIA.

          Cheers!

            AnonD-156746, 18 Nov 2013Contradiction?LOL...i said a whatsapp is not well developed... moreTry reading and understanding what was said before replying. Especially since your ranty reply now contradicts what I said.
            I never said you were right or wrong with your claim. Or that saying so was a contradiction. What I specifically said was you claiming that they are giving misleading info by posting an experience is a contradiction. Based on the fact that you said the app is buggy so try another for different results. Again which I did not even say was not true. I was not addresses the fanboy war side of the comment.
            And this is also being based off a conversation of more than just whatsapp or opening apps.
            Now for pointing out your bashing you claim that I'm going to make a bash?...Then say I need to try harder?...Even though it is always you bashing and then calling me a fanboy when I reply without bashing.....Amazing never-ending logic.....If you are even going to reply please properly address and do so with all aspects. Or else you are just doing your usual trolling.

                            Slim, 17 Nov 2013I dont agree the bottom line is more apps. Look at the rub... moreMore apps = more choices. Why not? You can choose to ignore the apps if you don't need them. Perhaps some are fart apps to you, but there are others who need them. All I can see if WP is full of alternatives app rather than official ones. Even the Facebook from MS is working like crap as compared to the Android version.

                                  I would like to point out to the author that the lack of toggles described in the review can be overcome very easily. There are many apps that allow users to pin settings shortcuts, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, Cellular, etc., and now, even the rotation lock setting. And given that an entire extra column has been provided to pin tiles, one can very easily pin these shortcuts to one side and easily access them on the go. In fact, this makes them even more accessible than the toggles in Android/iOS, where one would have to slide down the notifications bar to access them. Please do mention this in your reviews so readers know that there is a solution to the "lack of" toggles.
