Replacing Lumia 920 - what next?
Discussion
Somehow managed to crack the screen on my trusty Lumia 920 at some point over the weekend 
The phone still works fine but as someone who likes his phones to be pristine (the 920 is 20 months old and until this crack there wasn't a mark on it) it's driving me nuts! As a result of changing to a 4G contract a the start of last year I'm now 19 months into a 24 month contract so I reckon I'll probably be able to get away with an early upgrade (I don't really "do" paying for phones 
)
The problem is I don't know what to go for - I was planning on waiting for the new "flagship" Nokia phone that is rumoured for the end of the year but I'm not sure I can put up with the crack for that long. I'm definitely wanting to stay Lumia and I think I've got it narrowed down to two, the new 930 seems a logical successor to the 920 although I'm not 100% convinced for some reason - from seeing pictures of it I'm not sure if the new casing design will be as comfortable to hold as the 920 and the reviews I've read while not bad aren't exactly getting me reaching for my wallet. The leftfield choice would be to go for the 1520, reviews say it's excellent and the larger screen would be great for browsing etc and by all accounts the battery life is superb which is a big plus. The obvious downside of course being that it's fecking huge and can I cope with carrying around a phone with a 6" screen day in day out? So anyway I thought I'd open it up to the PH masses and see if anyone has lived with either of those and has any recommendations?
