T-Mobile 635 now at available at Walmart for $99

Thanks! So does the screen feel that much bigger?
Apparently it does have a 16:9 aspect ratio,this should make most videos now fill the screen.
The 15:9 AR was one(very very small) issue I had with the 521.

The actual screen is slightly larger...

Here's the 635 vs 521...


Apologies for the bad pics...

I had forgotten the virtual buttons on the 635 light up with the screen so that is a definite plus for the phone.

There's an update waiting already!

Yeah it looks like the screen is longer and may be a little wider. Videos should now fill the entire screen.
The update is WP8.1-SP1

Random note: I've gone through mp3s/phones in a weird order.
3.0",3.3",3.7",4.0", and now 4.2"-4.4"

Screen is pretty bright...
Looks like two 521's plus a few accessories will be for sale soon :smile:

I sold mine with 5 cases for $50+$5(SH)
Minus ebay fees I made like $44. Not too bad, considering you can buy the phone new for $60-$70

Not too sure what difference it makes,but the HSDPA chip was updated.
521 has HSDPA, 21.1 Mbps.
635 has HSDPA, 42.2 Mbps.

Not sure... looks like the high speed packets may have been boosted.
Since the 635 is LTE capable...it does load web content pretty frigging quick...at least here it it's fast.

Did it always load fast on? even on the 521.
Here CA I sometimes get good reception and others like 2 bars.

My LTE is pretty consistent around the Sacramento area.
Drops sometimes...I see a lot of tower upgrading in this area-plus xfinity hotspots are everywhere here.
Wireless coverage here between the two is what I would judge as damn good!

Maybe LA coverege is worse or the upgraded LTE will make a difference.

One of the local Walmart stores around here has the T-Mobile Lumia 635 on "clearance" for $80. Good deal?
