Ya it is affordable 4 g without flash nd ffc.That is why nobody is bothered.

Yes 1gb

So this is basically a 635 with doulbe the RAM. Are they selling the 635 India as well?
Any news whether this phone will ever make ot over the ocean to Europe/North America?

Yes 1 Gb is good, its even cheaper than 535. Flash & ffc are the only missing things, but as its a low end device priced nicely, it would surely be a hit.

Nope, no news about EU or America

Hey lumia 630 sold even without 1gb ram.don't criticize them they are better than say nokia who used to charge premium for specs.

For its price, the L638's specs are so poor compared to the Lava Iris Win1, which is just 5k. And no point of owning the "cheapest 4G phone in India" when there is no front cam and the 4G infrastructure in India is pathetic.

I dont think Nokia charged a premium, but they expected decent margins, MS doesnt have to worry about margins specially from hardware business, they are going to be more like amazon, subsidizing hardware to sell their services.

Atleast Nokia's build quality is not as pathetic as lava or any other company.
4g is fully functional but only in some areas, especially in Bangalore

[prasath1234]

Ya 4g is next going to be popular.Some even suggest it is going to be given at same rate as 3g .So future proof.

How come it's a Nokia and not Microsoft?

How come it's a Nokia and not Microsoft?

Because the 638 already existed, but was only in China until now.
(it was already a Nokia model)
