New 635

[sdc1]

I picked up a 635 today to see what all the fuss was about. I'm very impressed. It feels much nicer in the hand than the 1020 or 625, the build quality is very good and its a quick little phone. From a brief play with the camera it seems to take nice shots outside at least. I popped my 4G LTE sim card into it and it just flies along.

Very nice. It'll be my daily driver for a bit I think.

Woo congratulations for your lumia 635 and glad you are liking your device so far :smile:
Which fruity color did you opted ?

Thanks. I could only get a black one but have ordered a green shell from Amazon.

Same here.. I bought one to play around with and it's become my daily driver for now. I am purchasing 2 more for family and friends who have jacked iPhones. They both have the original iPhone 4 with no Siri, so they'll love Cortana. Speaking of Cortana, I find myself often looking up places in maps just to get the phone number. With Cortana, I can just say "call the Walmart on main street in town, state" and it finds the number and calls for me. I am pretty sure that Siri won't do this and I'm not sure about Google Now. At any rate, that's a very useful feature to me.

I'm waiting for Cortana in the UK. I always found Google Now to be useful, I'm hoping for great things from Cortana. I know I can change the region, etc, my 1020 is on DP with region set to US.

I just picked up this phone yesterday, and was previously using the 1520. I absolutely love the screen and horsepower of the 1520, but the size and weight were getting to be a bit much.

So far I really like this phone! I can tell that some apps aren't as fast on this phone, and the screen is no 1080p screen, but does just fine.

With Windows phone 8.1 on here it certainly is a very capable phone and I plan on using it as my daily driver for a while.

Been using my 635 as a daily for about a month now. Very nice phone.

I'm thinking about picking one up myself. At $99 from the Microsoft store, it's a no-brainer. One question though, besides games & video which I don't bother with, are there any apps that won't run on this due to hardware limitations? CamScanner and BBM are my biggies.

BBM works great on 635, especially with the latest BBM update.

Nice deal for $99 at A.T&T! T-Mobile is still $129 at Microsoft Store and $149 at the T-Mobile retail and online stores.

Well, I done went out and done did it. Except for the flash I don't know what the big deal is. I'll put this thing through its paces and see how it goes .

Enjoy. BBM works perfectly.

So far I'd have to say it's a very worthy upgrade to the 520. Screen size obviously and the external speaker, it's a screamer.

Seriously? While it works fine when it is not in the background, but notifications, and more importantly delivery receipts are not working correctly when the app is not active. Sad, but true.

I picked one up last week. I am impressed! Wish it came with a nano sim through. So I could switch out with my 1520 from time to time. Love my 1520 but at times it would be nice to go small. So I guess I am majoring in 1520. Minoring in 635

Got a brand-new 635 yesterday, whilst my smashed 1520 is at Nokia for repair and because I've been considering a much smaller second phone for a while. Absolutely love it, it's a very capable little phone as long as you appreciate its limitations for the price point (mainly the 512MB memory and camera, of course).

I'd read reviews about a poor screen and very sluggish pinch-to-zoom, however I don't find either of these things to be the case.

I just purchased a sim adapter set from amazon for $8, and it works great!

Picked it up the first day it was available. I was using the HTC 8X before. Now I am using this phone a lot more than the 8X.

Ok, I had to go back to my 1520. The phone has a great form factor, but apps take several seconds to load and can be quite annoying. I want the screen and guts of the 1520 in the 635 for factor! Is that so much to ask?!

I just tried on my 5S vs my Tmobile 635. Same question, 635 dialed correct Walmart every time. Siri found walmart but each time I asked to call Walmart the results were all over the place none calling walmart.
