I was all iOS from the 3G to the 4 (and, prior to that, I used Psion, Handspring, and Sony PDAs) but then someone borrowed me a Nokia 710 and three years (and five Lumias) later I have to say WP is the best mobile platform I've ever used, and the 1520 the best built and most versatile and reliable mobile I've ever owned. The Denim update has rejuvenated the camera, which was always capable of truly beautiful shots, but which is now fast enough to snatch them when time's tight. 4K video with full manual focus is now also excellent, as is the improved AF, which previously did a bit too much seeking to make comfortable viewing. It's still inferior to my old 925 in low light, though - videos can be especially noisy indoors - so I'd hope for a faster lens in the next flagship.That aside, the 1520 is still the best windows phone on the market, and, even with a 64gb SD, is still almost half the price of a 16gb 6 Plus, which makes it an absolute bargain.
