Deal Alert: Expansys USA has discounts on Lumia 1520 and Lumia 925
Ordered. I'm banking on it working with T-Mobile and upgrading to Windows 10. At this price it's worth it even if I only get a few months use out of it.
For best results on T-Mobile, enable HSPA over AWS. It's dead easy, you do it in Field Test Mode. I read all about it in the forums here on Windows Central, and did it myself! :-)
Thanks so much for the tip. It shipped today and they sent me an invoice. I'll be replacing my Blu Win HD phone with the 1520 and am really excited. I actually loved the Blu phone, but the camera left much to be desired and I was about to buy the Lumia 640XL when this deal unexpectedly popped up. My wife drives Uber and therefore has to use an Android phone (their partner app only works on Android and iOS) so I didn't order her one. She really misses her Windows phone and is hoping Windows 10 will get the Lyft and Uber driver apps so she can switch back. Honestly, after using the Windows phones for the better part of a year I can't fathom why it hasn't taken off, but as someone who doesn't play games or rely on apps, I guess I'm in the minority.
Hiii i ordered mine but it´s still on delivery.
In what condition came yours? was there any scratches on it? what about the accesories?
What can you tell me after a month of use?? thx very much!!
hi how was your phone?>
$240 and $158 CAD respectively on expansys.ca
I was curious about that, thank you. :-)
I tried yellow, which went not available, hence ordered the Whilte 1520 to replace by screen broken 1020 till the 950 XL comes out.
I was eager to buy this when this got initially released, now a good deal for $199.
I was going to buy one but they are all in used condition
You're correct. The article stated as much. I bought one months ago. A small scratch on the screen, and a screen protector applied over top of that. Nothing I couldn't live with. Love the phone.
Oh the best looking windows phone till date @ Lumia 925
Can't agree more, though I only have a 920.
Yup. Unfortunately the 940/XL appears not to be anywhere close to it in design. Or even to the 930. Oh well, at least the specs are good.
Because you know what the the 950/XL looks like.
Seeing how I just paid $200 to fix the screen on my 1520 (albeit, the 1520.3), this is one heck of a deal.
And I bought 925 for lil bro for $200 ...almost a year ago :)
Sell it on eBay for $100 and swallow your lost and buy the new one.
You can't get a new 1520.3 for $300... Not even a used one.
Good luck with a device that's had the battery sitting around discharged for 12+ months...
Shipping in Europe?!
im afraid not. they only ship to US.
1520 is the King of Lumia but need desperately need a successor with all is glory and much more
King of windows phone. Not just Lumia :D
Only the 1520.3 with full storage and Qi is king.
The ATT 1520 is like its inbred royal brother.
So, like his brother son?
Hey I added Qi to mine and it supports all the frequencies I need :)
Well in that case both have imperial blood :D
Your RM-940 supports all the same frequencies as the Unicorn. The so-called "missing" one (HSPA over AWS) can be easily enabled via Field Test Most. FTM being something the AT&T version had that the Unicorn appears to lack.
Does yours have Field Test Mode? My 1520.3 didn't. I switched to the AT&T version to get it. Qi is nice, but Field Test Mode is much, much, much more important for me.
HTC M8 is the king.
Said all 20 of their users. Lets not.
"Lets not" should encompass your snobbishly stupid comment, I own both and both have their strong points and are both amazing devices.
I wish it had come to Canada, I would have been interested to try it. Not enough to import it, but enough if it had seen a domestic release in Canada.
eh. the only lumia 1520 worth buying is the 1520.3 and i don't think that one is coming back
Unicorn or bust!
Could you get Field Test Mode to work on the Unicorn? I couldn't, and that's WAY more important to me than Qi charging. Field Test Mode worked fine on the RM-940 in my experience. And the internal storage is a non-issue thanks to microSD. That makes the AT&T 1520 version much more appealing to me than the Unicorn.
Eh. The AT&T version isn't bad with an SD card added, and HSPA over AWS enabled via Felt Test Mode.
1520.3?
It's the AT&T variant, so only 16 Gb and no wireless charging
