Where is that AT&T 640XL?

[redeyss]

Why are we still waiting for at$t to announce the 640xl release date? They've had the "coming soon" page up over a month. This is becoming ridiculous!!

Yeah, I am annoyed as well. Assuming late May release. It seems the LTE versions of the 640 XL aren't shipping many places (if at all) yet. Just the 3G versions at places like Expansys. I have an LTE pre-ordered at Expansys but would prefer the AT&T variant as the international LTE variants won't get LTE on AT&T.

re: Where is that AT&T 640XL?

I'm very interested in a large windows phone since I owned a 1520. That phone was too big for me but I thought WP on a big screen was fantastic. MS is losing a sale here, I've been with android for a year and a half and am looking to buy WP NOW!! Had WP for two years prior, since 920 release. Have a onetouch idol3 5.5" on preorder but I would cancel that to pick up the 640xl, but noooooo!

I have the OneTouch Idol 3 on pre-order as well. Sure it comes first.

My local store told me the Microsoft guy was there a few days ago and said the phone will be out on May 15th.

Where is the AT&T 640XL you ask?

Far as a I can tell it's closely guarded secret.

I wish this thing would hurry up and get released. Considering giving up my iPhone 6 for this because my old eyes can't deal with small screens anymore and I'm not paying $850 for a phone again, ever.

I just bought the 640 XL off of Expansys-USA and it works on AT&T LTE, at least in New Jersey. I'm very happy. haha

Even though it does not state LTE?

Yep, the one I received was the 640 XL LTE Dual SIM, and I only selected the 640 XL.

If I had another decent camera, I would. The only other camera I have is my 635...lol

I just talked to At&t, they said they are working out the quirks of their network and will have it done soon. If you start holding your breath now, you wont die until the release. LOL

But seriously, i am waiting too.

Out of curiosity, what are they referring to that will be done soon?

It was just a joke. But I am assuming they tested it on their network and found some bugs.

Just an fyi....
I can vouch for what enixon is saying about the 640 XL. I'm using my brand new 640 XL on AT&T with 4G speeds that are comparable to the speeds I'm getting on my AT&T 1520. I'm very pleased with the phone, and actually plan on selling my 1520 now...if things continue to go well. I was skeptical at first, but the 5.7 inch screen is a really nice size.

How is the screen on the 640lx?... Does the 260ppi look ok?..i think that's my biggest worry about getting this phone.

Waiting patiently for you to sell me the 640XL when the 940 hits!

I have no problems with the screen. If you have seen the 630/635's screen, then you've seen a pretty bad screen. The 640 XL's screen, in my opinion, is on par or slightly better than the 1320's screen...way better than anything 635 or below. I have no idea what the specs are on each, as I'm not really a spec guy. I'm just going by what I see when I line them up side by side. I will say that you will notice a little jaggedness around text on some websites or in articles, but not always, for whatever reason. But, it's really not a deal breaker for me because I don't spend hours reading using my phone....emails, news, texting mostly. Just to let you know, i also own the 1520, and love that screen, so I'm familiar with the best screen WP has to offer as well. I took a shot in the dark when I ordered this phone, and am very highly pleased. My only complaints are: On-screen navigation buttons, no dedicated camera button, and somewhat show battery charge time, especially when using random chargers/cables. This phone really likes its specific cable. I often get the "slow charging" warning when using other cables. Everything else about this phone is top notch. For the price, it's an excellent choice.
