As a 640 XL owner myself this phone is better than my old Nokia Lumia 925. The screen is easy to read, the 13 MP rear camera takes beautiful pictures and the 5 MP front camera takes great selfies (if you're in to that sorry of thing). Screen resolution can be a bit fuzzy since it has a 259 ppi resolution, but I've watched movies just fine without it looking grainy. The big screen will spoil you.... Once you go to a phablet, you can't use a phone under 5" comfortably. My friends love the orange battery cover because it stands out in a world of black and white smartphones. If you're not big on apps, the 640 XL is your best bang for the dollar. I would strongly recommend it.
