Nokia Lumia 2520 review: nice hardware, shame about the software

The Nokia Lumia 2520 is the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer’s first 10.1in Windows RT 8.1 tablet, aiming to take on Apple's iPad Air.
A competitor to Microsoft’s own Surface 2 tablet, Nokia has tried to take Windows RT in a much more consumer-focussed direction with a bold, colourful exterior and Nokia music and camera apps.
Continuing Nokia’s legendary quality plastic build, the Lumia 2520 takes a leaf directly out of the Lumia smartphone playbook.
There’s little to no flex within the body, while the tablet feels sturdy in the hand. At 615g it is 9% lighter than Microsoft’s 676g Surface 2, but 146g (23%) heavier than Apple’s 469g iPad Air. The 16:9 form factor makes it easy to hold one-handed on the long side of tablet in portrait mode.
