Finally after two months I got my Lumia 640 XL DS LTE from France. I am really happy with it. For its price there is no better phone on the market and it is a lovely upgrade to my ailing 925. Currently it is still downloading my couple hundred apps (what app gap?) and I hope to be using it properly tomorrow. A flagship would be nice but unaffordable for me right now. I do not regret my purchase at all.
I got tired waiting for XL so i thought might as well wait for a 840 or 940, but then i thought damn... Id probably also have to wait 3/4 months after release to purchase it. So ill get my XL at the end of the month
Passed on the 640 mainly because of the lengthy wait for US users.
Here's to Microsoft releasing a new high end device for all of those who have been standing by.
