Lumia 640 T-Mobile USA

[anon(6078578)]

We dropped by a local Walmart and they had a bunch of place holder cards for the Lumia 640. On them it said to take to the register to purchase, which we did only to be told they are just placeholders and they would actually place them on the rack if they had them in stock...

Tmobile can update wifi calling later. They do it all the time.

Yes that's exactly what happened with my Lumia 521.

Local Walmart had the empty hanger. Nice employee said that they had sold the only two they had on Friday. She called two more stores, but neither had them either.

Well, I wouldn't say "All of the time," sure, once or twice. But in those days TMO wasn't ballyhooing WFC like they are now. (Finally!) Since those who are salivating for new WP's, like us here, are few in number, far better to get it right the first time for the general public.

I wonder if she was even correct about that. Sounds mighty suspicious. No one seems to have them, not MS, not TMO, but one Wart-Mart out of thousands got two? And sold them fast?

I'm also very skeptical. I've been in touch with the wireless department manager almost daily for a week at one Walmart and she has consistently said they are on order but not yet available anywhere.

Just relaying what I was told. I make no claim as per the information's authenticity.

They do it with Android flagships, so I'm sure if they WANT to do it with the Lumias, they can. It's actually a simple ota... I have wifi calling and never use it. It's turned off because TMO is excellent out here.

I stopped by y local walmart as well an they have the little signs/flyers there saying to purchase, take it to the counter. Took one to the counter, they tried looking for it. It wasn't there, they told me it would be a few days...

2 more days guys! my money on 29th. If not then see y'all nx week

 

[Sedp23]

Can't believe we are still waiting this is insane

 

[Musicman247]

I'll be at Walmart early Friday to see if they're there. Will buy one if they have them. Maybe even two. Should tide me over until Talkman/Cityman

I wanted one bad...then cricket acted like they were doing me a great favor by selling me one. I went to tmob and bought an S6...maybe in a couple more years I'll have a flagship win phone

You spent six times the money because you couldn't wait a week or two? Wow.

I got a lot more phone... But, to retort your comment, $600.00 isn't a lot of money.

If it's not a lot of money why wait 2 years? Drop another bill when the 640 releases then another whatever amount later this year when the flag ships drop? Just to keep the retort, you know retorting.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Anyway, getting back on track, so far only one of three Walmarts I have visited in the past two days have had the empty hangers. Luckily the store that has them is the closest to me. Guess I'll know more in 24 hours.

What did I miss- what specific reliable source says Friday?
