    Cricket Putting Lumia 650 On Sale Starting Friday 10/07/16 (It's Back!!!)

    At this time. There are no windows phones actively being advertised by Cricket. There are still boxed 640's and some stores will probably have the 650 in stock until they get sold through, but after that, windows phone is gone. I'm expecting AT&T to do the same with the 950 as well but who knows...

    Cricket Putting Lumia 650 On Sale Starting Friday 10/07/16 (It's Back!!!)

    There is zero chance of either unfortunately. I was just speaking with our Alcatel rep the other day and he confirmed that there just aren't any plans for the 4s in cricket. That phone was given to T-Mobile running Windows and sold unlocked with Android on it. The 950 is currently under $300 at...

    Cricket Putting Lumia 650 On Sale Starting Friday 10/07/16 (It's Back!!!)

    My store manager has confirmed we won't be getting anymore and our dummy model has been taken down. I'm sad about it, but I was literally the only one in my store who even tried to sell it to customers. Of the ones I did sell, the customers loved them, but one a month sold wasn't enough to keep...

    Difference between Cricket and unlocked version?

    Okay. That's really not a bad deal for being free. Turns out none of my cards work with Microsoft Pay so I'm not going to worry about that, but I'm so far kind of blown away by how well the phone works. Most of the apps I had on my 640 still work and the newer wp10 apps after pretty solid...

    Difference between Cricket and unlocked version?

    Hey everyone, I just picked up a 650 to replace my 640 from cricket and trying to figure out what differences, if any, there are between this version and the one Microsoft sells. I'm trying to get tap to pay to work, but don't know if that's even an option on the unlocked 650.

    Who is planning on getting the Lumia 650?

    suuuper off-topic, but how it Ting? windows phone's data saver feature made me thing about looking into ting and get off the $45 straight talk plan.

    L650 said to have SD 210?... Keep 640?

    I actually do have the 640XL, but the size is too much for me. I'm really pretty bummed out that the windows 10 scene is going full budget or full high-end. I would love to have a 5 inch or smaller screen windows phone with a 410 or 412....

    Lumia 650 Rumored Specs+ Features

    I was afraid of that. I have W10M on my 640 and after seeing the new the the 650 is using the 210, I'm seeing zero reasons to upgrade.

    L650 said to have SD 210?... Keep 640?

    So I was expecting to be upgrading my 640 to a 650 on release day, but the current info coming out are showing a MSM8909 210 processor with 1GB RAM. the CPU is clock 100MHz slower and uses an Adreno 304 GPU vs the 305 on the 640. I don't doubt the accuracy of the info, but I can't understand...

    [L640] What strategies can I use to maximize my freespace?

    I personally use a 64GB SD Card and have all storage set to it. there are some apps that can't be installed on the SD card, but there shouldn't be too many of those out there.

    Lumia 640 vs Blu Energy Studio 2

    That's been a thing on almost all Chinese Android phones (which all Blu phones are). A lot of people I know who get them just keep it for about a year, then buy the next version of it that had a newer build of Android on it. It's actually a pretty solid plan and I would jump on this if not for...

    Lumia 640 vs Blu Energy Studio 2

    The amoled display is an instant deal breaker for me. I've had image burn in on every amoled android phone due to the notification bar being black most of the time. Note 5 included.

    Lumia 640 XL faster than Lumia 640

    I was thinking the same thing today. I just took back my 640 when I picked up the 640XL at at&t and really do feel like its faster. Not significantly, but enough to notice.

    Windows 10 Tech Preview on 640

    It's wasn't so much the battery drain that got, it was the app store bugs. There were always a few apps that refused to update like Touch and Skype. Every time I tried I would get an error message and an error code. Also the Edge browser was messing with my bank's mobile site leaving me unable...

    Sometimes I feel like I just bought a Sony Betamax

    any fan of an underdog feels that way. You should see the peeps on Crackberry. they are in a worse position than WP, but I would argue that BB10 OS is as good as Android and better in every way to iOS. its very very different from WP but has an edge up with the ability to natively run Android...
