thats the thing, its not available for shipping. you can order it online, but its only for instore pickup.
phone thinks it is using at&t and says to call at&t to use internet sharing which is annoying. this is supposed to be unlocked but apparently not for this.
You mean we might be able to sell them for $20 instead of $10?Very rare. Resale value should be excellent considering the scarcity.
Yes it was odd that T-Mobile dropped it like a hot potato so quickly.My dad really like his 640, and I really try not to think about how it could have been if he waited a month or so to get one. Why do they do this? I think this is the only WP with band 12 support...and VoLTE at that. I don't know if the M8 has it (someone can correct me if I'm wrong).
Keep in mind cricket also only allows phone they approved of to be able to use data sharing. I was going to save some cash and switch from gophone to cricket. Discovered even if I paid the $10, it doesn't male a difference because my 640 xl isn't on their list.mvno carries normally disallow data sharing. Cricket has it for a $10/month surcharge. That is the only one I know of first hand.

Yep, considering AT&T tends to get the higher model, T-Mobile didn't even bother getting the 1320 when they got the 1520 for example.For all the crying in the media that Legere did about Microsoft when it came out that T-Mo was not getting a 950 or 950 XL: he only has the T-Mo track record of not supporting Windows Phone worth a darn for the real cause.

It's not a noob question. It would work but probably no volte, and especially no wifi calling. If those things don't matter, it should be okay.Forgive me if this is a noob question, but what is different with the AT&T variant of the 640? Does part of it work on different bands than T-mo so it wouldn't get full functionality or something? Because I was thinking of getting the AT&T version and unlocking it for use on a T-Mo MVNO.
If that wouldn't work, would someone care to recommend me a similar spec'ed phone for under $100 (preferably around $60-70) that's T-mo MVNO compliant (unlocked or unlockable)?

One of the annoyances of Windows Mobile is they don't have any "Sending" indicator or outbox, so you can never be truly sure it's sent. Many a time, I wondered why someone didn't respond to a particular message, only to have it reappear minutes later with "Can't send Message". At least if I could 'see' it was having trouble sending when I really did need to send a message, I could then try and move to a better signal area (if indeed that was the problem at the time). Turning on delivery confirmation for every message is a bit of an overkill in this case....all indications so far, that with unlocked AT&T 640 you also mysteriously lose SMS delivery confirmation option...
Sorry for beating this issue multiple times in one day - still can't calm down after revealing it.
