Where to get Lumia 640 Dual SIM LTE (5-inch, not XL) in the Philippines?
Before telling me to contact Microsoft Philippines, I did my best to ask questions to them through their social media pages but I didn't receive a single answer.
Microsoft PH does not even have an email where I can send my query regarding this.
I'm not going to buy at Expansys or any foreign online retailer since their warranties may not be honored here in the Philippines or my purchase may be subject to high customs tax especially that majority who works at the customs are a gang of scumbags. I'm not also choosing the ones listed at Lazada since they are not covered with local warranty.
Apparently, 640 XL is the only model that is available in most stores and when I asked them, some say that Microsoft Philippines decided not to release the smaller variant or some say that they still have to wait for further announcements and some are just scratching their heads. (nganga)
The phone is okay for me but it's just damn big that's why I want the smaller one.
The Lumia 540 could have been a good pick but I won't spend Php 8,000 for a phone that can't decode or record 1080p videos. There are many smartphones that can do such for the same price or lower with the same or similar kind of optics.
As I checked Microsoft Mobile's Philippine webpage, it happens that the Lumia 640 Dual SIM LTE is part of the list. I also checked their software support page and it happens that it is available in the country with a model number RM-1075.
Link: Availability in Asia Pacific - Microsoft - Global
I just hope that they would bring it here or atleast, the 740 would have Dual SIM LTE.
If not, I'll just switch to Cherry Mobile Alpha Prime 5.
I can still wait though since I want my new phone to have Windows 10 Mobile out of the box.
