Just bought a Lumia 640 white at Carphone Warehouse, I have seen this phone everywhere, on TV, Billboards everywhere, is their a reason the 640 is being advertised this good in the UK?? is anyone in the UK and has the new 640??

Well Done Microsoft on the brilliant advertising :smile:

The Windows Phone market share is higher in Europe than many other countries. Basically you have way more Windows phone users. It's the complete opposite in the U.S., Lumia phones are released months after they are available in many other countries , updates take longer and the phones receive little to no promotion.

Dude, it's the other way round. Even when it was Nokia, the Lumias got US launches ahead of anywhere else.
Update delays? Well that's going to be down to the US consumer obsession with letting carriers be in charge.
