Perhaps it'd be a better decision to just double the RAM and do nothing much else, since, well, that should eliminate pretty much every memory-related compatibility issues.

Sales are overrated.
(I can only hope and assume that there will be another version)

The Moto G is clearly the better phone. There's no reason to recommend the 525 over the Moto G.
Free offline maps. So for my mom for example it would still make more sense. Then again, she could just pay a bit more for a "real" Lumia.
Don't disagree in principle, of course.
Edit: Okay, for that price difference you could probably get a decent offline map solution on Android.

like NavFree, which has free offline maps... there are others, but i haven't tried them...
and still no front camera on the 525?
How good are those free ones though?
Here is rather excellent, probably the best navigation tool I've used.
Not that the navigation software will make a big (or any) impact on sales. The reason that the 520 sold so well was its price, nothing else. Now that there's serious competition I'm sure that will have a big effect on the numbers the 525 can push.
That said, I don't think that the better screen resolution of the Moto G will have much of an impact either.

Such a lazy fucking effort, but it was no doubt planned before the Moto G appeared.
Still, I was gonna buy my parents both a 520 for Christmas so I'll see what this does to prices.
Edit - No UK release? Pardon?

179 vs 199, as it seems.
Interesting. Silly if true.

Just tried what was as far as I'm aware, every possible way to write my number in the new version of 6snap and still no verification text.

Maybe they figure that it would make more sense to launch both a low end device and a high end device with WP8.1 in Q1. Maybe a mid-range one too, to have something for everyone together with a big marketing push for the upgraded OS.
I would agree with them. The 525 and the 625 are both pretty pointless, considering there's nothing wrong with the 520 and the 620 and that they both launched this year.

Most likely neither AT&T nor T-Mobile are interested.

Google Maps does offer offline maps but instead of downloading the entire state like Here Maps, you download little areas. A pain but you can download many areas for offline use.
Do we know that for sure on WP?
edit: saw the verge article. At least I will be able to download more on my phone in SD

So, can someone familiar with snapchat/6snap answer this?
As I posted before, I couldn't get a verification text for contacts, so I just pressed on the show me contacts without entering my number. It shows me my contacts that have snapchats and I can add them. So, what was the reason for entering my number? Will other people not be able to see my snapchat account by just looking at their contacts?

Isn't the 520 an upgrade from the 900?

It sure is. Just like the the iPhone 5C is an upgrade from the iPhone 4.

this probably makes sense in another dimension.
