The editors didn't like
Glossy finish attracts smudges
Proprietary charger. Windows RT still lacks in the apps department. Lacks dedicated full size usb ports without keyboard case. MicroSD card slot can only be accessed with a paperclip. Wish it were a bit slimmer and lighter to compete better with the iPad
Larger than most tablets
Can't run legacy Windows apps
Some popular apps missing from Windows Store
No WiFi version
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
It's a Windows RT tablet
And an expensive one at that
Flawed touchpad design
It's thicker and heavier than recent tablets
And its pointy corners are distracting. The screen has a yellow tint
Storage expansion is only accessible with a key or paperclip
And the keyboard accessory isn't as comfortable to type on as the Surface 2's
Micro USB 3.0 port is useless without a separate adapter (not included). Mediocre sound quality. Keyboard case sold separately. App selection is limited. Windows RT 8.1 is a tough sell for most people
Limited app selection
Back is fingerprint magnet
Awkward touchpad
Lackluster camera
Windows RT
Some software glitches
Pricey
Even compared to highend competition
Windows RT still lacks apps
Minor bugs and crashes
Weak on-screen keyboard
Tablet is quite heavy
Prone to scratches
Heavy keyboard case
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

Abstract: 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...

In Review Nokia Lumia 2520.All in all, the Finnish company produced a good tablet for their first try, though there is room for improvement. The typical Lumia design bears an unmistakable similarity to their smartphone line. The crowning jewel of the Noki...

If you can't wait for the Surface to come out with a 4G LTE version, well, you really don't need too. The Nokia 2520 is a solid alternative that offers a beautiful design with fun color choices, along with plenty of performance and a top of its class...
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...

So how does Nokia's report card look in light of the 2520? Design and hardware undoubtedly get an ‘A'. It's a strong statement; a bold, powerful slate with character that should serve a myriad of users well. Windows RT will pose a few problems for some, e...
