New Nokia Lumia 1320 GSM Unlocked LTE Windows 8 Cell Phone - Black (No Warranty)

Beside windows 8 and 8.1's store lacking some apps the phone is amazing. Being mostly an android user, and before this being on iPhone 5, this phone was very easy to get used to. I loved my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and this phone, if you like large phones, is perfect. Not as big as the Sony Xperia Z Ultra, which is a little too big, but nicely larger then the note 2. The home screen is a little weird to get used too if you are not used to windows 8 on a computer or tablet, but it becomes very handy as you get to choose what you want on the home screen and what you dont want, plus you get to pick from a nice group of colors for your theme. The app drawer when you swipe left is great with a nice search list. The 720p screen isn't as bad as people think, everyone thinks its all about pixels, but you can get nice crisp 720p screens, just like this phone has. With Nokia Black colors on this phone stand out and you get great viewing angles and outside the screen is just as nice, Nokia has done great with there black screen technology. Another thing Nokia has done well is built this phone, but Nokia has a great reputation and builds all there phones like mini tanks!! They also have great battery life. The only minor downfall of Windows Phone is the small lack of apps and games, but the store is growing everyday so that shouldn't last long. Pros: -Build Quality -Large crisp screen -Windows Phone is a great android alternative, especially since its growing and growing everyday.* -Batter Life, can get 2+ days with moderate use, 1 to 1 1/2 days with heaver use. -Camera button, i love having the separate button for just the camera. Cons: -Windows Phone, at the time of this review, lacks some games and apps that android has. Overall i would recommend this phone to anyone who wants a break from android or just wants a whole new experience with this great phone! Coming from IOS to this was a great change and i would have to say, between android and WP8 i would have to say with WP growing and growing WP8 has to be my new favorite OS!!

Nice phone but can't get it to stay connected to carrier it's suppose to b 4g LTE signal comes and goes

The seller offered a Nokia 1320 model RM-994 but he sent me the RM-996_APAC_Vietnam_200 version, this version is not adjusted to work properly in Latin American countries, I can't even configure it in Spanish because this version is not designed to work with this language. This version is designed for Asian countries. Aditionally the phone often freezes and has an overheat problem. I'm really disappointed with my purchase since I choose this product because of the high reputation and the positive review from the seller and I expected to get a fully functional phone (as the RM-994 that he published does) but instead I got this phone that I can't even use properly.

When I decided to purchase this phone it was mainly to avoid a new contract. After using it I this its better than many of the new flagship phones. It may not be as fast, but the screen size means I really don't need a tablet. I have big hands so the size is right for me. It will be too big for people with small hands. It is also able to run the new update to windows phone 8.1 when it comes out. Works just fine one AT&T but not at LTE speeds.

Well first I am a person who makes a review after a good couple of weeks of using it and in this case it was well over a couple of months. Also, I am very computer savvy person (if you know what I mean...) It is fast smooth and certainly feels like a great phone! The main downsides are that its an international version (thus does not work with 4G or LTE or 3G for that fact) but it still works with 2G (note: I use T-Mobile). Now I know there is a variant of a United States model of this phone which is called the RM-995 model version and that is another $100 more than this one (I bought this one for $350). Now I know its not fair to judge a phone because of its these kinds of limitation but the loss of a "star" is because of the lack of support from the company when I asked it some simple questions (such as does this work for T-Mobile and does 4G/LTE/3G work)... but over all it is an awesome phone and I do not regret my decision buying this phone!

I recently answered a question on whether the phone I bought was a clone or prefab. It is not a Nokia Android clone of the Windows8 OS. If it is a prefab, I don't know. As I stated in the response, I thought Nokia manufactured their phones in Sweden not in Hong Kong. Probably assembled in China and distributed to the International market out of Hong Kong. The phone was preconfigured for the Hong Kong Market. Though it was in Hong Kong English, it was easy enough to reset the phone without losing the app bundle it came with. Apps were enough for video+music, camera, a driving navigator, a walking map, public transit, some Nokia proprietary apps that work well; like the panoramic camera app that stiches together about 4 pictures. The Mobile office suite excel, power point and word, with office 365 to sync with your other MS Office software. I had to install a third party file manager app to access files on my SD card. 8 gigs onboard mem is ok. Though if you want to save maps directly to the onboard mem, memory be eaten up fast. I loaded about 7 apps and have 2.68 gigs left. I mentioned that maps, because even though I asked the maps to load to the SD card, they did not. I was happy they didn't, because transferring the SD card from my phone to my tablet, corrupted the data. I doubt it was an issue with the phone. However, I was overseas and needed the maps, and was thankful that they were on the phone's memory. The phone arrived about a week before the "no later than date" which was about 3 weeks. I am rating this particular purchase at three stars for 3 reasons. First, the phone has a black back case and not red, as requested. Sounds trivial, but I wonder what else was not "as advertised"? For example, at the vendor you will get the latest OS with the latest bundle. I got Windows 8.0, where at the vendor, the phone was loaded with Windows 8.1. Maybe not a big deal until I actually ask to upgrade the OS. Second, the phone runs hot when browsing the internet and also using GPS actively (GPS when in flight mode). So I wonder about the CPU. It is a 1.7 dual core, but so is my tablet that doesn't run hot (significantly hot). I wonder if the phone is a prefab or if the chip is overclocked (inferior chip running faster than advised) to save on money. Third, the initial price was attractive at about $277, but after paying $23 to ship to an FPO AE, the savings of purchasing online didn't really outweigh the peace of mind of purchasing the same phone at a local vendor, where I can walk over and have it serviced or returned immediately if necessary. I would have paid $70 more at the local vendor. The battery life is decent lasting a whole day with some web browsing, watching around 1.5hrs of video, using the GPS and a few short phone calls. When I did notice the phone getting hot, it did consume more battery life that usual. I was slightly worried that the G4 standard here in Italy would not be compatible with the frequency published, but it works great. Sometimes a webpage will hang, other times pages will pop right up. The webpages hanging are starting to get annoying. The Windows8 interface for me is a breath of fresh air compared the Android OSs that I use on my Samsung tablets. I find the interface to be simpler and quicker for that matter.

This phone arrived fast fast great company. Took me 45 minutes to adjust to window based phone. Once I got it I love it. I don't know about pixels and all the criticism about camera but to me this phone is great phone great. Camera looks good to me. Plus it reminds me of things operates with voice commands good! But its a large phone. I have large hands no problem for me how ever it could be issue for some people

I loved it for the first few days then camera just died I googled and found that it is common software problem with Lumia and Windows - automatic windows upgrade kills your camera; inserting storage card kills our camera. Solutions are not to use a storage cart and downgrade windows to previous version; and sometimes it resolve the problem. Neither worked for me. So I have a very nice phone but without camera; I still have hope that Nokia and Microsoft will address it one day...
