I have used the lumia 521 in the past and that phone keeps bringing up a resuming message. From what I understand it is because of a lack of memory. I am sure the lumia 635 behaves the same. It is just too slow for me. I want things to be at least near instant like it is on Android. One reason why I hated webOS.I hear a lot about the 512MB "issue". What I can say is I've owned a 635 for about 7 months now and have not had any problems running any of the apps that I use. There likely are conditions where this would be a problem, but I've never run into them. Bottom line: I'm very satisfied with the 635.
I am also on the hunt for a cheap Windows phone and I was thinking the Blu or the 635.. I guy at work has the Blu and loves it... This is strictly a fool around phone. I want to put it on Net 10 as the reception is great in my building.... I do love that the Blu is made in America.... so many First world problems..... LOL
Most people would get it locked. Like the tmobile variant is 79 on Amazon and tmobile always supply the unlock code. I don't ever use the front camera on phones.As unlocked phone, 635 is overpriced. OS aside, Moto G gen 2 gives more hardware for same money.
For $120 unlocked it would be a great buy. So hungryshark got a good deal.
For $179, as it is priced now in US, I'd expect it to have 2Mp frontcam plus LED flash for the back one.
But most of people get it with contract anyway.
I don't think anybody at this point is buying a 635 under contract. It's an entry level pay as you go phone that is 40 or 50 bucks out the door.As unlocked phone, 635 is overpriced. OS aside, Moto G gen 2 gives more hardware for same money.

I am pretty sure he meant carrier lock and not contract. No carrier is selling this phone with a contract. I wonder why the T-Mobile variant is 79 compared to 50 for Att.
T-Mobile don't even have contacts anymore.I think tmobile always shafts you a little up front as their phone plans are a little cheaper. Plus they need extra money for the upcoming spectrum auction. And yes, tmo sells it under "contract"

That's a payment plan for the phone. If you don't want to pay monthly then pay all up front. They are allowing you to buy the phone on credit. It isn't a service contract.
Yes, sorry, I meant exactly this - carrier lock.I am pretty sure he meant carrier lock and not contract. No carrier is selling this phone with a contract. I wonder why the T-Mobile variant is 79 compared to 50 for Att.
T-mo only issues unlock code after some terms are met. Don't remember details, must be easily googled - a few months spent on the network, some money spent on the plan, all this. I was last reading it when unlocking my 521. Terms are reasonable, but it is not like you can get unlock code whenever you want.Most people would get it locked.

My point is $179 for factory unlocked 635 is not very attractive.
Call it what you want, it's an agreement you sign and it's cheaper at amazon by 20 bucks. Here is the 635 under contract at att...Smartphones - AT&T has a Smartphone for Every Budget
It is different question for different thread. Some people, including me, prefer unlocked. Reasons may vary.Please explain why it needs to be unlocked? For many of us there are cheap carrier knock-offs such as cricket, simple mobile, boost, etc that a locked 635 works great on.
