After using a Nexus 5 for the past 3 months, its truly amazing how accurate and amazing the Windows Keyboard is.. The browser though is a bit slow, but i am on a dual core phone (1020). When the successor to the 1020 comes out, its gonna be...

I had a chance to play around with a surface pro 3 . It should be marketed as a whole new product than a tablet

Only thing I hear coming for T-Mobile is the Nokia "Rise" which is a low end phone...the successor to the Lumia 521

I previously evaluated and then rated the AT&T Nokia Lumia 1520 at just 7.5 due to unreasonable US carrier modifications.


The Nokia Lumia 1520.3 has integrated Qi charging, 32GB of internal storage, a microSD expansion card slot, massive 3,400 mAh battery, 20 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 6-inch 1080 x 1920 ClearBlack LCD, and quad-core 2.2 GHz processor. It supports 3G and LTE on AT&T and T-Mobile in the USA, as well as other carriers throughout the world.

You can find the Lumia 1520.3 at various online retailers like Negri Electronics, NewEgg, and B&H, ranging in price from $570 to $658. It comes in white, yellow and black.

If I were to review this model of the Lumia 1520, then I would have rated it at 9.5 out of 10 instead of 7.5.

Your lock screen app.. not bad. But I have all of that on my home screen so its not really important imo. I'm on Windows 8.1 and I can just pull down the notifications tab and have pretty much all of that

You can check your notifications tab, even from the lock screen (default setting) 8.1 only

I know you get notifications via the tab, I wouldn't have set the sports app (real app for 8.1) to alert me via notifications. Let me check if that is possible since the phone is right next to me...

Ok, it doesn't do that. But I do have Cortana (Siri Equiv) and from the lock screen I can hold the search button
She pops up, I asked what was the score in the world cup. It instantly said its 0-0 and they are in extra time

She talked to me bruh She even calls me Courtdog

So yeah, its a nice app. Not knocking it. Would have made a ton more sense before 8.1
Now its still helpful, just not AS helpful as it would have been in the past
And I expect Microsoft to make the notification bar handle all that if its requested (which is what ppl should be doing now since its still in beta)
