Nokia's biggest Windows Phone yet, at six inches, offers some benefits for those not put off by a meatier form factor



From all About Microsoft:

As someone who's been a pretty vocal critic of Nokia's heavy and bulky Windows Phones, I have to admit, I didn't have high hopes for the Lumia 1520 phablet.

I figured a six-inch Nokia phone would likely be a six-pound dead weight in my hand/purse. Nonetheless, the idea of a near-mini-tablet-sized portable Windows device still intrigued me.

Nokia loaned me a Lumia 1520 Windows Phone late in the day on November 15. I've used the device over the past 48-plus hours. My verdict: Nokia's is finally figuring out how to make their handsets -- even BAPs (big-ass phones) -- easier to hold and use. That's welcome news for this user, who opted for an HTC 8X over any Lumia device because I found Nokia's hardware unwieldy.
