Well, the 830 has a pedometer function built in already so there's that. No sleep tracking or fancy stuff though. (fellow incoming freshman!)

What's the best Lumia to buy for under $120 in 2015?

Of course I can! I plan on using it on AT&T gophone and my impression will be interesting because I live in Mississippi, I've never seen someone review how service is on different providers in Mississippi, but I can tell you that here T-Mo although they have the lowest prices, their service goes out everytime 2 trees stand next to each other (and that happens quite frequently here
) I don't know about Verizon, but I've had straight talk att SIM here and it was fine, I also had the tmobile SIM with straight talk and that was horrible. I had virgin mobile, but that kept dropping calls and barely had a signal in my house.

The 830 tears the 640 apart, and lucky for you I have found an 830 refurbished on eBay
Was gonna keep this ABSOLUTE STEAL to myself, but I'm not really interested, so why not share it with WinCentral
Nokia Lumia 830 Green Windows 8 1 Phone 10MP Camera 16GB Unlocked | eBay
Unit is Seller Refurbished. BUYER BEWARE. Heard many horror stories about some guy on eBay refurbishing phones themselves. I prefer Manufacturer Refurbished.

Eh, while manufacturer refurb is preferable, I hold seller refurbished and used on about equal levels. Ultimately, make sure the dude isn't "wanna buy a watch?" sketchy.
If I bought the t mo 640 from WalMart would they unlock it for me so I could use on ATT? Will it even work on ATT? Just exploring options, I'm thinking 830 over 640 because its not such a big price difference where I'm looking.

Nope, you need to be a TMO customer for 60 days before they will unlock it. Not worth it IMO.

Takes a bit of practice to spot the bad apples on eBay. If you need help PM RumoredNow or myself and we can help you steer clear of the sketchy sellers on eBay.

Check the seller ratings for sure. Some know how better than others. In the case of DealFisher (the lister that was linked) I don't think it is "some guy" so much as a professional business... As I mentioned earlier, I got my seller refurbished 830 from DealFisher at a very attractive price and can not tell that it is not a BNIB device.

A totally unmentioned alternative is the BLU HD available on offer today from Microsoft for $129:

I think 830>Blu Win HD LTE
Mostly same specs, but build quality, display quality, camera quality should be better

Well, dammit... I don't want to be tempted by it now. I love my 640, but I really want a better camera and that 830 price isn't helping me.
