How can I obtain a Lumia 635 with 1GB of RAM?

[WPCentral Question]

I'm thinking of purchasing a 635. I'm an AT&T customer. I know that some Lumia 635's now are being made with 1GB of RAM (rather than 512MB). But I don't know how (or even whether) I could get an unlocked unit for use on AT&T's network. The folks I have talked to at AT&T know nothing, and the support folks I have talked to a Microsoft know nothing.

"1GB available at Sprint, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile ? check SKU for either 1GB or 512MB"

My understanding is that the 1GB version is the CDMA bands and won't work properly on the AT&T network.

If it did, I'd be trying to find a way to get it myself. Is there anyone that can verify the bands on it and if it could possibly support the AT&T network if unlocked?

Weirdly enough, there are some 635 models that DO have 1 GB of RAM.

Well, considering the 638 is the same on paper.

My understanding is that the 1GB version is the CDMA bands and won't work properly on the AT&T network.

Well, your best bet from what I can see if importing such a model from overseas. But at that point, I'd just purchase a used Lumia 820 and call it a day.
