what he means by free that the navigation does not require Data..you can use even youre offline..
Unlike Waze, yes it free but it require internet connection to operate (load map, Navigation and etc)

I think you guys misunderstood what he said.

Waze do not need always on data to work. If you can search and then navigate to your destination while you still had internet connection through wifi, it can route you till the destination even if you stop all data transfer. Only thing you probably miss is the live traffic update.

I switched from Sony Xperia Z Ultra to Nokia Lumia 1520 simply because it is slightly smaller (but thicker) than Z Ultra, support 64GB microSD, 32GB storage and of course because of the 20MP Pureview camera.

While I'm not that happy with the app selection, I'm okay with using the Lumia 1520 because I have access to most of the apps I'm using on Android and Apple (Aviary, Spotify, TriptIt, WhatsApp).

I also find the screen on Lumia 1520 is much better than Xperia Z Ultra as playback of low-res video looks more pleasant and smoother on Lumia 1520.

After using the Lumia 1520 for two weeks, I feel that Sony could have made the Xperia Z Ultra better.

And yes, I like big screen phones. But I think 6.44" is a bit too much. Now I just hope Nokia would be able to make a thinner 6" phone.

What makes it so special are the PureView Camera and Quad-core Processor.

It is indeed an awesome smartphone IMO.

battery life endurace test score 107H. No.1 for now.

I hate my 920 battery 44H only. I like to surf and battery drain faster.

Apps to get mature, you have to define the level of mature and then you can also argue about the maturity of the app on other platforms as well.

"Half-bake" is what you probably want to use. laugh.gif

Hi there, sorry for the cause of misunderstanding. Probably it is because of the daily-use-term and the jargon that I've used to share with my family and friends, what i'm trying to say is,

There isn't much Applications in the platform yet

i think wp8 OS has already matured in terms of app selection , just that the games selection are lacking and even if there are famous games available , i m pretty sure its gona cost money but not free . And we dont get to Jailbreak it yet so ... i guess wp8 still need maybe a year or 2

I have 920. How much can sell this phone and topup some cash and get the 1520.

I like my 920 a lot but one thing bother me. Battery life. I need a phone at least can surf for 10 hours and 1520 can do more from that. 920 if keep surfing on off from 8am to 12pm already 30% left (3G not wifi).

Additional :

How much can sell bundle with casing.

1. lumia 920 red
2. Incipio dual pro casing
3. Otterbox commuter
4. Nilkin flip

Hi there.

Lumia 920 is a great phone. Agreed with you. Battery life is sux and even with wifi on and moderate usage, it can last until 3pm only. The price has been decreased. Last time i bought RM1299. Now seven mobile sells RM969 with free wireless charger.

In Garage sales, normally 2weeks - 1 month old lumia 920 sold at 800-850.

You can try smile.gif
