I don't have the 1520, but look at it this way - the Lumia 920 has a better camera than every single other non-Nokia phone out there. The 1520 is significantly better than that, with the 1020 being the best.

Poki is fantastic. One of the best designed apps I've come across, thing is obviously a labor of love. From the app achievements, to the long press menus, to the article menus to change things dynamically, all very solid work. The dev needs to account for video links to open in maybe an in app video player, especially for youtube, but you can easily open in IE as well. But yeah, pretty impressed.
Joking aside, I don't really follow the business news very much and from reading the gaming side here every now and then over the years I had the genuine impression that since Kaz got the gig he had turned the company around and that the "one Sony" thing was working very well.
The move to junk status and today's news came as somewhat of a surprise.
Terrible news especially for the thousands of people losing their jobs and not a particularly encouraging development for the market as a whole. Lets hope they can turn things around.

We will get a windows phone out of their desperation, so that's a positive.
Honestly, I like Sony products. As a tech geek, I want them to stick around. I've bought their speakers, receivers, PlayStation, laptops, and I owned a Sony ericcson phone that I loved too.

They tried that, but you not knowing about these products is part of the reason they're going down.
You mean Windows 8?

Brot is Warren and Maeh is Thurrott. Its practically an open secret by now in this thread.

I'm not gonna lie, the version linked above is pretty fun, would've thought it was the real thing.
Samsung's will never see the light of day after recent developments, apparently.
I don't think they should care. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as they say. The problem that they have is that the masses are slagging off Microsoft's design while they seem to like it on other platforms.

You just have to understand, Metro is the worst thing ever. Be it on Windows 8, Windows Phone or Xbox. Especially Xbox. Goddamn, Xbox. Have you seen the Xbox UI? So terrible and Metro.
Between this and Samsung's magazine UI, what will MS do next when every other player is copying their design to some degree?
Only Samsung left then with capacitive buttons. That sucks.

Cortana is supposed to be powered by Foursquare. The US exclusivity makes sense, doesn't it?
They should bring it to Hamburg, advertising/media people seem to love Foursquare enough to build up a pretty good database around here...

I'm sure there's a strategy to what Google is doing, I just can't figure it out.
1. Produce a cheap imitation of what Apple/Microsoft is doing
2. Give it away
3. Mine data
4. ...
5. PROFIT!!!!

"anywhere you get a Bing-powered experience" sounds like the US.

Went from 920 to 1520 last weekend and HOLY FUCK.
this phone is amazing and its how the windows phone experience should be going forward.
The real-estate in the home screen thanks to 1080p + bigger screen is glorious, the battery life is fucking ridiculous.
having a 6 tile width is a game changer and really improves the overall glance and go experience of the phone.
The camera. OOOOHHHH THAT CAMERA.
While it is a large phone, it didn't take long to get used to it.

I do. I don't use the camera often because my wife has the 1020. It is excellent though. Probably only second to the 1020 from what I have read. The Nokia tools for the camera are pretty fun to play with.
