"Lumia product line", here we go :D 

[George P Global Moderator]

Now they're talking about the Lumia 1520.

[George P Global Moderator]

Now they're demoing a new app, Story Teller. 

[George P Global Moderator]

The 1520 has 32GB internal storage + a microSD slot. 

 

Also official Vine app is coming to WP8.  And official Instagram app coming in the coming weeks! 

[George P Global Moderator]

Lumia 1320 is also a 6" device, but with a 720p screen, so lower end device.

[Buendia]

New WP update Nokia Black comes early next year. :(

[ACTIONpack]

Lumia 1320 is also a 6" device, but with a 720p screen, so lower end device.

I don't see that selling.

[George P Global Moderator]

I don't see that selling.

 

 

It's going to be $360 before tax etc, so it should sell but it's also going to other markets not the US/EU, so more for emerging markets like China and other parts of asia.

 

The 1520 is going to cost $770 or so and coming to the US and EU.

[ACTIONpack]

I want a 1080 4.5 Inch screen. Not a fan of the really big screen

[ACTIONpack]

How would the 2520 compare with the surface 2 rt?

[George P Global Moderator]

They're showing off the 2520 tablet now.  Compared to the Surface 2, well the 2520 has a Snapdragon SoC and has 4g/ LTE support while the Surface 2 is a Tegra 4 and Wifi only.

[George P Global Moderator]

Another new custom Nokia app for the 2520, Video Director, to edit and make videos etc.  Looks pretty cool. 

[calimike]

Lumia 2520 is interesting and great product. It's better than Surface 2. price for Lumia 2520?

[George P Global Moderator]

Lumia 2520 has a Power keyboard, with two USB ports.

 

Dunno price yet but rumor was $499 so a bit more than surface 2.

 

*Edit*  It's official, $499 price, $149 for the power keyboard. 

[calimike]

Lumia 2520: $499 plus tax in US wow!

 

Edit: GP007 thanks for info  :laugh:

It's a bit pricy yeah, but you do get some extras that aren't on the Surface 2 for the extra $50, like LTE and plus the Nokia exclusive apps.  Though if the deal goes through all those Nokia apps are just going to be part of Windows and Windows Phone in the future.

[Kyang]

LTE is coming to the Surface 2 next year anyways, so it'll be the design and exclusive apps that set the Nokia apart.  Just like their phones.  :)  .

[ACTIONpack]

I like the Surface 2 design over the 2520.

But why ? do you often view your screen with a microscope ?
