How's the camera?

Just pay off the phone?

Audio was a bit muddy. Had to use equalizer first time with a Lumia to brighten the sound of my music. Call quality is on the muddier side as well compared to the 635 and 640. Unfort., for in call there is no equalizer. Then, 3.5 G is where the 435 shines on Tmo. At our cabin, where 3G and LTE...

My 435s arrived today. First impression: Nice. Screen is better than expected. Grip is nice. Very pocketable. Snappy. A Lumia. Camera is of course nothing to write home about. Will test some more, esp. Call and audio quality. Def. a neat device at $29.

Could not believe my eyes when I saw the price. Ok, it's not the latest and greatest but should prove more than decent at half the original price. I ordered the white one, but they do have all the other colors including cyan. Already got a Win Jr as a family's member second line phone. Now...

And thus, the ultra cheap Lumia will be a thing of the past unless the 550 and perhaps 650 hit similiar price points after a while. The ATT 640 is, without a doubt, the better phone and deal at $59 or less, but for someone who wants Tmo Wifi calling (and Band 12), there is nothing to be had atm...

For some years I have been using only Here Maps and Drive. I put in an order at Walmart for two devices. Stocking up. The 550 won't be available, if at all, for this money on Tmo.

@DarkSK17a thx for telling me about audio and GPS. The latter is indeed important in a traveler's phone. Sounds the 435 is no lemon at all.

thanks @ libra89. Screen is the major reason I would not spring for a 530. But from what I understand, the 435 has got a better one. Won't beat the 640's one, but hey, it's just a backup and travel phone.

Looking into the 435 for traveling and as a Wifi calling capable backup phone with Tmo. They are selling for $29 at Walmart and everything considered the price is tempting to have it around. I remember the 530 was basically garbage screen wise. How happy are you with screen, endurance...

Running an ATT unlocked 640 on Tmo. Visual Voicemail works flawlessly. On another note, even without Wifi calling and band 12 I find the 640 and the current Win 10 build enticing enough to carry me through some seasons until I decide on an upgrade path for my needs. Plus, it came with a GoPhone...

There is plenty of room for three ecosystems and platforms.

App gap? What app gap? Seriously, while I can understand that it is an issue and not just a mere question of convenience for some, I helped myself out with a second line on the cheap using a $39 Moto E. Kills several birds with one stone: Network coverage as well as the odd app not available on...

I do not see WP or 10 Mobile being a dead end. For Microsoft to succeed they do not need to beat Android nor iOS. Don't know if they measure success in profits or rather market share (or both or not at all), but quitting Win 10 Mobile or the phone business at all would basically negate the...

Took the plunge today and installed Win 10 Mobile Insider Preview on my 640. Had a hiccup during installation which was resolved by rebooting the phone. No major issues. Latest build seems super snappy and stable for the most part. Had to manually add my email accounts though. Other settings...
