Ours came in a delicious candy red flavour, and unlike Microsoft's monotone Surface, the bright hue give...
We love Nokia's hardware, and the Lumia 2520 is no exception, but it's let down by the software - or lack of it. As it's toting Windows RT, you won't be able to access all the legacy and desktop apps that you may already be used to using on regular Windows, meaning you're limited to the Windows Store for supported, fullscreen Metro-style apps. It's an ever growing digital store, but it's still la...

In a few hours, Nokia's first Windows RT 8.1 tablet goes on sale in the US on Verizon (AT&T gets it just 24 hours later). It's a momentous step both for Nokia and Microsoft, who so far have had a tough sell with the RT. In fact, Microsoft and Nokia are th...
Outstanding 1080P HD Display, fast processor, excellent battery life and build quality make the Lumia 2520 an noteworthy tablet. LTE connectivity gives you an alwayson internet device, built in Office and HERE Maps makes it compelling.
No full USB port, the lack of a kickstand and Microsoft's Surface 2 make it hard for the Lumia 2520 to stand out. Carrier branding limits its availability and the lack of storage may limit the device for power users. Odd button placement and uninspiring...
The Lumia 2520 is a solid, first attempt from Nokia to make a Windows RT 8.1 tablet. While the device has excellent specs, inspiring design, button placement and a phenomenal display, its not clear if many users will see the advantage of this tablet over...

Back in October , Nokia announced its first Windows RT 8.1 tablet, the Lumia 2520, that would attempt to bring the very best the company has to offer from their line of impressive Windows Phone 8 smartphones to the Windows 8 tablet world. The Lumia 2520 i...
Windows 8 tablets have yet to officially take off as we've seen a number of them pop up in the market, but none that have completely wowed us. The Lumia 2520 has certainly wowed us as it brings Nokia's years of experience as a handset maker to the tablet...

While it might still struggle due to the limitations of Microsoft's Windows 8.1 RT operating system, Nokia has outdone rival manufacturers by stuffing the tablet full of its own features, be they its camera tools, quirky design or custom application lineu...

The tablet market doesn't look very different than it did a year ago from the perspective of who's doing well and who's not. Perhaps the most exciting developments came towards the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 from the usual big guys: Google released...

Last week I posted my first impressions of the Nokia Lumia 2520 and ordered one for myself. After several more days of use, my enthusiasm waned due to Verizon's processing purgatory. I worked through that and placed a new order for one at the Microsoft St...

The more I write about the Lumia 2520, the more I think I do need to go order one again. I recommend people take an honest look at their tablet needs and what Windows RT 8.1 can offer them. Don't write off Windows RT because it isn't a full Windows OS. Ta...
The Nokia Lumia 2520 is a great piece of hardware and Nokia has done a good job with it. The display is fantastic and tough to beat. As I mentioned last week, if you use your tablet primarily for media consumption then it should satisfy your needs. The...

I intentionally have limited experience with the recent onslaught of Windows phones. Mostly due to lack of apps, but I was still intrigued when they released their first Windows® RT 8.1 tablet so when AT&T sent their version over for review I was excited...
My only complaint would be that this doesn't come with a keyboard. In order to be truly productive in my opinion and make full use of Office 2013 which comes preinstalled on the 2520 I can't see using it to it's full potential without one. For now you can...

But while the tablet feels good in the hand, it is rather heavy. This 10.1″ device weighs in at 615g so you'll certainly know when you're holding it. It is worth pointing out that this is a tablet in the purest sense of the word. You get a touchscreen sla...
