There's are two new Lumias coming in October from MS - the 5.2-inch screen Lumia 950 and 5.7-inch Lumia 950 XL. Specs sound nice. I have the 1020 which I love but wanted a larger screen and foolishly bought an android Samsung Note Edge -- great screen but detest android and its buggy apps -- horrid crud. Will be buying the 950 XL outright when it comes due (I buy all my phones unlocked as I hate cell phone contracts).

Or if you like real keyboards (and no virtual keyboard beats those) Blackberry is coming out in a couple of weeks with a new large-screen slider that runs Android and supposedly, some part of its BB10 OS as well for security.

You may have figured by now I quiet like this camera.
Thanks Chris. I've decided I'm going to get it, its just a matter of time before I can arrange funds..

As much as I love the build quality and cyan color body of my Lumia 920 (I drop the phone at will on concrete floors to demonstrate to other people that nothing can break it :) ), I'm tired of using someone's iphone or ipad to deposit Bank of America checks (and many other lack of apps). Plus, I have a Macbook, now my SO has an iphone and its just easier to keep the same system everywhere. So I'm buying a delicate iphone next - the 6s or 6s plus. And yes, now I also only buy unlocked for full price.

BB looks interesting, but not for me.
