    Hi,

    What are people's thoughts on the Lumia 1320? I'm with O2 so can't get a 1520. Also, does anyone know if O2 are offering different colours besides the black version? They didn't seem to know when I asked.

    The 1320 is quite good for the price i have been using one a few weeks now and find it great,the 1520 of course is better and has better specs but for the money the 1320 is quite good.There is no other colour than black im afraid to say.

    Yeah is love the 1520 but O2 don't stock it and don't know if they ever will. It's a lot more powerful than the 1320 but I've been told that Windows 8 doesn't require much power so I wouldn't really notice the difference. What's the screen like though? Is it true that it's quite pixelated?

    I asked about different colours in O2's community forum but they just said only black would be available-none of the other colours.

    Do you have any info on colour availability?

    Got this during the week and it is a lovely phone.
    I was after the 1520 but could not justify the cost even second hand circa 550e.
    The gray imports are about 460e via HK importers on Amazon but the warranty issues are too much to chance (screen sensitivity etc)
    WP8 doesn't need the massive specs of the 1520 though the screen I believe is the best on any phone available now.

    1320 screen is amazing it is huge and I have a Note 3!

    it runs like a dream obviously needs ext storage 16/32/64 and with WP8.1 next week the small internal 8 gb will not matter as apps will then be allowable on sdcard.

    Let me say again it is a very top notch phone and does not feel cheap or laggy, the screen is amazing.

    I am not a big camera user but it needs to be pointed out the camera specs are way lower than the 1520 but all reviews state the pics are acceptable.

    I want a 1520 but the 1320 has been a great surprise to me.

    PS it's huge!

    Agreed but you can get good cases on amazon for it,i always use gel cases there is no official cases for it yet nor will there be only the original ones in other colours which are not available in ireland yet...Very slow to bring out accessories in ireland....

    The 1320 is good value for money,owning both the 1520 and 1320 even for me they are too big the note 3 is max for size and its a great phone..

    I got this, it's a nillikin back cover - I hardly ever cover the front, exception being my Note3 which I have an Sview cover.

    The 1320 back is very slippery but the cover linked above is ideal and cheap and good quality.

    While the 1320/1520 are huge, I've no problem using it as my daily driver.
    The Note3 feels tiny in comparison!

    Anyone know of a store in Dublin where I could see a 1320/1520 in the flesh?

    Demo unit or dummy, just to get an idea of the size?

    Is that such a good deal? 1320 is similar enough to a 920, with the latter having 32GB (instead of 8GB) and a better camera

    The 920 can be had unlocked from Tesco for £169 or so plus shipping

    Edit - that deal was on for months but is no longer on, it is £199 now

    Strange one guys...

    I have 2 Lumia 1320s on 2 different networks here (O2 and 3, but previously also eMobile) and both of them intermittently just restart - usually during a call which is extremely annoying.

    This happened under WP8 and now also WP8,1 Dev Preview. Phones have been soft and hard reset, reflashed and still happening

    One I would have accepted as a hardware problem, but it's happening with both.

    Anyone seen similar or have any advice?

    I would follow up with O2, That sounds like a network issue with the current Firmware on the handset, Did you try it on Vodafone?

    I've tried it on O2, 3 and emobile - same thing. Happening with both handsets.

    A Google suggests similar symptoms with other models and things like disabling 4G speeds but nothing conclusive.
