Look at the nokia 520 lumnia it look like sony acro s look does edges on the front. Hmmmp i think its another lawsuit. After htc one copy back of sony xperia p back of the phone now its nokia. Its just my opinion. Nokia pls make an android phone so that i can buy one of ur phone. I still have my n8 i just use it as my secondary i hope u bring one. Best of luck to you nokia.

Frankly i was initially disappointed with no show of 41mp lumia...... But come to think of it they are following a right strategy ... By the way L720 is one of the best mid-ranger.... It was unrealistic to expect a company to come up with flagship every 4 months.. Sony and LG are exceptions though...

At right price points( 720 at 330 dollars and 520 at 180 dollars ) these are killer devices, no competition literally

The lumia 620 and 520 are kind of same with one offering things that other would want.now in this case of two nearly priced devices if one goes for 620,he/she would make a bit sacrifice on the screen real estate while getting advantage of a secondary cam and flash.if one goes for 520,the exact reverse thing happens.imo they could've made one of them a clear winner thus avoiding the confusion.
These handsets luk promising though.

What disappoints me:

- Lack of 1GB RAM (for Lumia 720)
- Lumia 720 and 820 the same size
- Lumia 520 BIGGER than 620. (what are they thinking?)

I was looking forward for the 720 to be a 4.0" phone with 1GB RAM and with at least a secondary camera.

Now the 920 and 820 is too big and too expensive, the 720 is a bit big and a bit weak, the 620 is a bit small and a bit weak, and the 520 has the perfect dimensions, but is also a bit weak, and doesn't have a front camera.

But if I had to pick one I'll go for the Lumia 720. At least the battery inside it is stellar.

> In reply to [deleted post]:))). Coming and doing some cleaning, ha?:))). Joke. But for real now. This site is full of "rich" kidos. They all have 100 gadgets on-line and just one lousy device in real life. It is amazing how much unaware and hypocrisy can some people expose. And if they would have at least known something...
