Nokia’s new Lumia 1520 may be a big investment. The 6-inch phablet available in red, white, yellow, or black will have a suggested retail price of $749 and will be available soon. Nokia wants you to sign up to learn when the device will be available in stores.

But the phone/tablet hybrid seems to include considerable functionality for the price.

For example, the Lumia 1520’s full 1080p HD screen resolution and updated version of Windows Phone 8help take full advantage of the largest display on a Nokia phone yet. There is room for a third column of Live Tiles, the go-to spaces on Windows Phone for your most used apps, content and functions.
