Hello people!
Short story... I bought the Lumia 635 (First WP, really like the OS, really!!! (coming from Android)) but sadly, even if I knew it's a "budget phone", the screen is really not sharp at all... I can see some pixels and the colors are not bright at all. I don't blame Nokia, nor Rogers where I bought it. I blame myself because I knew it was a low-end device. I am with Telus in Montreal (Quebec) so I had to buy the Unlocked option from Rogers for 50$ and finally, the guy at the boutique says it does not have the code yet for the 635 and that he will reimburse me the 50$ ... I bought it Monday so I will ask for a full refund...
That being said, I think I got a crush on WP.. I started looking at other available models but it seems that only the 1020 is available in Canada, and it's almost 1 year old and seems to be almost the same hardware as the 920 (except the camera of course), which is, I think, almost 2 years old.
I was looking for a 5" inch with a good resolution, recent hardware, and a decent camera (Not a big photos fan, but here and there, it's handy) and I found the 930 ! Exactly what I was looking for.. recent hardware, MORE than decent camera, a good screen, and of course, WP 8.1..
So now the questions:
- Where should I buy it? So far, I only found omegacell at 675$ (oucch but to be expected I believe)
- Also, I understand that I would only get 3G with Telus in Montreal. What if I switch to Rogers? (I pay the leftover of my S3 yesterday so I am contract free).. I don't use data very much... so I personally don't care, but if I want to resell the phone, it's won't be a very good selling point (sorry buddy, no LTE...)
- Is that true (or rumored) that the 930 **might** be coming to Canada with all the good band for LTE? I did ask Nokia Canada 5 times via twitter but no answers...
- If I buy this device, does I simply have to put my Telus sim card in it and bingo?!
- Last one: Who pushes the WP update? Microsoft? The carrier? And what if no carrier support that device?!
Thanks guy... I don't shop cell phone very often and I'm not very savvy with the band and compatibly and such...
Salutations!
