I'd love to have this phone as an option for Verizon. Put me down for a "will definitely buy at full price" customer.

Agreed if it has external storage.
The leak photos all show SD and SIM card slots next to each other, so looks like it will

Nice
Naw I want a Verizon Lumia 1020 equivalent! Some rumor pegged a 41 mp lumia for Verizon in October...I think thats just wishful thinking though.
AT&T has the 1020... might have to switch... my MPs mean everything to me... I can talk on any phone... But my picture quality means everything
Looks like we might both get our wish.
This looks like a pretty official 1520: http://wmpoweruser.com/verizon-nokia-lumia-1520-leaks/
Verizon: you have my money, the sooner the 1520 gets here the sooner you'll have it!
As for the 1020, there's a few Nokia devices floating through the FCC with Verizon bands, so your 1028 is probably one of them.
Nope, verizon dropped the ball yet again. 1520 is AT&T, verizon is getting the 929.
Yeah it looks like Verizon is up to its usual trick of taking an awesome hardware design and gutting it until they get a low - mid level device that nobody wants to buy.
It is true that Verizon has the best all-around network of all the US carriers, but their sales/customer service has me to the point of turning hostile. I have been looking at various ways to move my family to another carrier, AT&T would not be my fist choice but I REALLY want the 1520, and with Verizon releasing yet another crippled version of a flagship device because they have some kind of personal issue with Microsoft has me actively looking for ways to cost Verizon more money than they make from me.
Either way it looks like I have to choose between the possible release of the 5" 929, paying around $1000 in termination fees to move the remaining on-contract devices to another provider or trying to manage a gradual move as each contract expires. Time to run the numbers again, maybe AT&T will have a good deal on migrating customers.
Do we know if the lumia 929 is a sure thing?
Outside news, yes and the rumors say early November (possibly the 6th).
The 929 is a stripped down phone. Not wasting money on that, (not giving up unlimited data) I'm getting tired of the garbage phones verizon feeds us.

I was wondering if you have more details on the 929. Reason is everything I have seen links it to a smaller version of the 1520?
I just dug through some tech sites, and I have to be honest, more "leaks" are reporting better speccs!! Originally it was leaked to have a 720 screen, not the same chip, and only a 10megapix camera.
From what I am seeing now they are identical except for the screen size. So I'm going to go ahead as say I was wrong. I will consider the 929 especially since it listed as $599 off contract.
The only way I will settle for this junior version is if I cannot find any other way to pay for a move off Verizon and over to AT&T.
A sinkhole in my front yard has totally drained my bank accounts or I would be long gone already.
I stream a lot of pandora to my jeep, I really like the coverage of 4g. I
just can't give up my unlimited, I'm sitting at about 6-7g a month from
streaming while driving. When they turn off unlimited data I'm out.
Daniel Rubino from Windows Phone Central reported two days ago that the 929 will not be until quarter1 2014. If that is the case it will mean that ATT will have gotten two flag ship nokia phones since we got the 928. As of now ATT has gotten 520,820,920,1020, and 1520. In the same time period Verizon has gotten 822 and 928. That is seriously frustrating.
This would also mean that Verizon will yet again not be carrying a flagship WP device through the holiday shopping season.
Everything I'm seeing is pointing to 3rd week of November.
Ya I hope you are right and Daniel is wrong......unfortunately he is usually right and wouldn't say something like that unless he has received some information.
Dunno, I'm going by the several pages from google that say late November. I
hope it is November my Gnex is dying.
The current rumors seem to back your date.
They also predict a gimped version with a 5" screen and no micro-sd support... typical Verizon bumbling. They truly seem to fear a Windows phone that can compete head to head with their Android devices. Perhaps the margin on the Windows phone is not as good as the Androids?
Or maybe they really are just incompetent.
