All of this might be tolerable if the Lumia 2520 was a bargain. But it’s not. The device will cost you at least $400 with a two-year cellular contract with AT&T or Verizon. Without a contract, it costs $500.

That’s more than you’d spend for Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, and the same as the base model of Apple’s iPad Air. Either of those would be a much better buy.
