Nokia 1525 availability?

[VzwUserDallas]

I'm interested in the 6" Windows phone and want to get one as soon as it comes out.  Anyone have any information on a release date?

It is not yet showing on the Microsoft Store site.  I would suggest you go there and ask in a chat channel when it will be come available.  If you do go that way DO NOT purchase it thru Verizon.  Get it unlocked directly from Microsoft/Nokia.  Considering the number of Windows phones Verizon sells I would bet it will be available from AT&T first and never available from Verizon!

At this point, it's only a rumored device, but I keep seeing little blurbs about it here and there.  As I am a big/tall guy with huge hands, I, too, am very much needing a Windows phablet.  (It would be better if we could add a slideout keyboard as well.)

If one comes out, I wouldn't be surprised if they are waiting for Windows 10.

I know for me, if another good Windows phablet comes out (like the 1520) and Verizon refuses to carry it, I will probably dump them (even though I've been with them since 1998 - before the merger that became Verizon.)

What I don't get is why VZW doesn't carry a Windows Phablet.  I know that when I asked about them, I was told that nobody wanted phablets as the form factor size was too big.  I then asked, if that was true, why do they carry and sell a lot of the Galaxy Note and the iPhone6+ devices?  Of course, they couldn't give any answer....
