Microsoft Lumia 640 XL 8GB Quad-Core Windows 8.1 Single Sim Smartphone (GSM Unlocked) - Black

This is the best phone I have ever had or have ever used. Now some people think that Windows Phones are awful but that is only because they were very bad before. The only thing people really have a problem with is that is doesn't have Snapchat, Snapchat is why people don't buy these phones. But that is very stupid. There is an official Instagram app and some great alternatives that are better than the official app. If you are willing to give up Snapchat than you will realize how wonderful WPs are. Please don't let the fact that some apps aren't on Windows Mobile. Also if you are going to get the phone please remember to update it a lot of people I see with Windows Phones are still running Windows Mobile 8 so please go into the app store and search Windows Insider than select fast. Then you will have the best mobile operating system ever. (In my opinion).So now to the phone itself, The phone has a great design and a very compact build. The back is very easy to take off and when you have the back on it feels attached. A lot of people think the phone feels cheap but to me it feels simple. Honestly I think iPhones are really over rated and over priced and Windows Phones are great for business and a little fun.To compare Windows Mobile to iOS I would honestly say that the only reason iPhones are more popular because of Apples 1 phone a year thing while Microsoft puts out multiple devices in a year which in my opinion is great because it gives people like us more of a choice in what we are looking for. So to put an end to this review I just want to say this phone is amazing and would not wish for any other device.

This phone certainly isn't for everyone, but with two qualifications, it definitely is for many. One, this is neither an Android nor Apple device, so you're not going to get those popular apps. And two, if you're not reasonably adept with the start screen tiles on Windows 10, the messy home screen that you get out of the box can be very unappealing.Fortunately, I can live without Android/Apple apps, and I know Windows 10 quite well, so this phone is a slam dunk for me. Notice the cluttered mess of different-size tiles on the screen in the ad--it looks like my teenage son's bedroom. But the tiles can be sized 3 ways, and once you learn to keep those you want, remove those you don't, and size them as you like, you can have a very neat and functional home screen, as in my attached photo.It gets better. The navigation is super easy. Answer an incoming call with one swipe and a tap, even when the phone is locked (my old Android phone took 4 actions). Start and listen to a voicemail with a single tap. There's a clear and functional layout for texting. Great camera, although you'll probably want to install a micro-SD card if you're going to save a lot of pictures, and definitely with videos. The good news is, that's quite easy; it doesn't require a visit to the phone store.Bottom line: superb choice if you meet the 2 qualifications stated above. But if you're like the average smart phone guy/gal who absolutely cannot live without the latest app from the i-store or Google, you'll happier with one of their phones, if you can afford one.

This phone was NOT NEW! Not only were there scratches on it and it was repackaged horribly, but the phone was kind enough to Welcome me Back as if I'd owned it before. Come to find out after purchasing it and having received it USED, I learned you probably won't have an easy time finding this phone brand new anymore. The truth is, had they been honest about the fact this phone was USED they could never sold it for the 115$ bucks they're charging. To be honest I wanted to keep this phone bad enough tho that I was willing to possibly over look the misrepresentation of the phone being NEW, BUT Sadly I had nothing but Problems with it. I literally wasted a day of my life trying to get this stinking phone to do what other phones just come by naturally, like download apps etc. Through some more research I found that Unfortunately because they're no longer making windows phones there is no longer the support of windows mobile that includes windows 8 and 10! HUGE PROBLEM there trust me that makes these phones fairly useless for anything beyond phone calls. Of the already very limited app selection most of them are no longer being supported either so they don't work or can't be had at all! WOW! What a nightmare! I loved my original windows phone and hoped to love this one too, but that was not the case.

Et le meilleurGrand format belle image, photo, passe partout (ou il y à du réseau, Wifi, bluetooh parfaitement communicants) lèger Ha oui est la batterie... je le recharge tout les trois jours.... PARFAIT.pourquoi mettre plus de 700 euro quand on à tous de bien pour Mois de 300euro.Sauf le pommisme? heu! je veux dire,snobisme?j'en ai eu trois... POM,POM,POM!Les pub de ce produit ne sont pas surfaites. Donc une idée lumia-neuse! de l'acheter

Je dirais que le Lumia 640 XL est de qualité pour le prix, son écran un peu trop grand à mon goût mais l image est d'assez bonne qualité. Les photos quant à elles, sont de bonnes qualité pour un entrée milieu de gamme. Et le mobile ainsi que son tactile réagissent plutôt bien. Mais il persiste des bug assez gênant au niveau du logiciel des sms à l instar du lumia 535. C'est dommage.,

Premesso che la consegna di Amazon è stata perfetta, come sempre, vorrei dire un paio di cose sul telefono.Lo ho comprato oramai da tanto tempo e pertanto un po' lo conosco.Devo dire che il mio giudizio (a tre stellette) è una "media" tra i molti alti e gli altrettanti molti bassi:ha degli indubbi e innumerevoli pregi, ma che si riferiscono quasi tutti solo all'hardware e all'eredità Nokia: schermo grande, robusto, doppia SIM, navigatore con mappe anche off-line (che comunque preferivo sul Nokia), ecc. ed il tutto ad un prezzo contenuto, ma quando iniziamo a parlare di windows, purtroppo risulta nettamente perdente sia a livello di app (purtroppo presenti in numero molto limitato) che a livello di usabilità rispetto a iOS e Android.Già con 8.1 ho dovuto soffrire abbastanza, ma con l'upgrade a windows 10, speravo in un miglioramento, ma per il momento, a parte l'estetica piú carina, mi si accappona la pelle!!È inconcepibile che già facendo l'upgrade mi perda l'agenda, peggio ora aggiungo contatti che sistematicamente spariscono tutti appena riaccendo (e per un bug, vedo sempre qualche contatto skype, anche se ho configurato che non li voglio vedere), Devo faticare per tutto: spostare app e dati da memoria interna a SD, addirittura mi capita di trovare lo Store indisponibile per (falsi) motivi di assenza di connessione, voglio vedere SOLO i miei SMS e sono obbligato a vederli mischiati con i miei messaggi SKYPE (e meno male che non mi obbliga a mischiarli anche con i messaggi WhatsApp e le altre app di messaging!), addirittura andando sull'app OneDrive su iOS e aprendo un documento word sul mio cloud Microsoft, non ho MAI avuto problemi di apertura, mentre su questo telefono, nonostante avessi word installato, si é rifiutato di aprirmi il file obbligandomi a installare una nuova versione prima (stavo in una riunione e meno male che avevo con me il mio iphone altrimenti non avrei potuto vedere il documento...). Ultima chicca: mi si presenta una lista degli aggiornamenti pending, ce ne sono ben 28, di cui molti falliti con un messaggio "The error code is 0x80072EE7, in case you need it". "Try again later". Ecchisseneimporta (scusate la parolaccia)!! Io voglio che il telefono riesca a farsi gli aggiornamenti automatici da solo senza che io debba attendere un paio d'ore per vedere il mio documento word ed il telefono sorbirsi le mie imprecazioni!!!!!.Nadella, che ne dici di farmi smettere di rimpiangere il mio N8?

I love this phone. Being nearly seventy years old this phone has took some getting used to.That is because of my age and there is so many things it can do for you,but I am learning new things every day about it.Really pleased i bought this

Rien à dire sur le téléphone. Il m'a fait une bonne impression et l'OS Windows était plutôt agréable ("était" car j'ai renvoyé le mobile après 24h de désillusion). Le hic, le gros hoquet même, c'est les applis. Un néant intersidéral. Oubliez toute la suite Google. Gmail / Maps / Agenda / Keep / Drive... etc, etc. Ni Google encore moins Microsoft n'ont daigné jouer la carte de la portabilité. Comment voulez-vous percer sur le marché si votre produit n'est pas capable d'utiliser les plus grands standards du moment ? Pour les applis qui ont été transposées, le résultat est juste terrible. Ca bugge et c'est pas mis à jour. C'est inutilisable, en fait. Il y a un énoOrme travail à faire du côté du Store. Par contre, pour un premier achat de mobile. Pour un utilisateur vierge de tout autre environnement, je pense qu'il mérite d'être envisagé car globalement il est de bonne facture.
