I have gotten the 640 recently from metro and its been doing wonders. And I'm just curious as to when it's bigger brother will be right next to in metro pcs and t mobile stores.

Get the Factory Unlocked model from B&H Photo. It's been available there for a long time. It's worth the extra $20 just to have it SIM unlocked and no carrier in the way of your updates.

Well according to an internal video AT&T has 90 day exclusivity.

I've moved this thread to the Lumia 640XL forum, since 640XL owners will be more likely to see it here and be able to let you know if/when other carriers get it.

Then it should be released soon to other carriers since its been about 90 days?

Here in the US, AT&T just started selling it in June about 2 weeks ago. AT&T now selling the Lumia 640 XL for $249.99 without a contract | Windows Central

I have the international model from B&H Photo Video (great company, BTW, I have been a satisfied customer for over 50 years). I have used it on both T-Mobile and AT&T and it works fine with both. I bought it because i travel abroad a lot and it covers more LTE bands than any other phone I have found; (Bands:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 20, 28, 38, 40). 2, 4, 12 and 17 will cover most of the GSM networks in the US. (Note that not many phones support 12 which is a new low frequency band introduced by T-Mobile and they are using it a lot.)

I am very happy with my 640XL and I think you will find that it will work on any GSM carrier that you want in the US. (Don't take my word for it, go to the B&H site and work your way through it. Takes a few minutes, but you can check it out to your own satisfaction.)

Best,
