Side by Side Comparison of: Nokia

I absolutely love this phone. I've had Android smartphones and they were okay. The windows 8.1 phone is so much better. I know a lot of people hate windows 8.1 but I am a big fan and think it's fantastic. I loved Windows 7 for a long time but went to Linux for years. When I first saw the new windows 8 I didn't even want to try it. But I recently bought a laptop with windows 8.1 and I fell in love and even bought it for my Desktop. I can do so much more than I ever could with Linux or windows 7. So the next step was to get a windows 8 phone and I'm so glad I did. With a microsoft account and linking it with my phone, I can sync my contacts and settings and not worry about losing what took a long time to set things up the way I like it. The touch screen is so responsive and it only takes a couple of taps to get to where you want to go. The speed dial feature is awesome, the visual voicemail is awesome, and the volume is wonderful for those of us getting older and having a hard time hearing. This is the first phone I've actually been able to use with the speaker phone option. I got a phone with Senior mode on it and I could hear phone calls just fine with the phone to my ear but still couldn't use the speaker phone feature. With this phone on the highest volume of 10 it is sometimes too LOUD. And the volume for music goes to 30. I can read my kindle books, watch Netflix if I want to and so much more. You can even download an app that lets you project it to a bigger screen like a TV because I have my laptop connected to my TV with HDMI. I just can't say enough about this great phone and believe me I've owned a lot of cell phones. You also can't beat the price.

I have to say that I wasn't expecting such a nice quality phone having been an iPhone user for the past few years. This phone is great though! It has a nice screen, is quick and responsive, and battery life seems better than my iPhone 5. Considering the cost difference between the two, the Lumia is much better. While the Microsoft Store doesn't have all the apps like Apple, you can likely get by - especially due to the integration of Microsoft Office and OneDrive with the phone. And the best part is I can still use it with my AT&T GoPhone 10 cents per minute voice only plan. My old GoPhone had a standard SIM card, and when I received this phone with a Micro SIM card, I just called AT&T GoPhone support and they moved by balance right over to the new SIM over the phone. No trip to the store needed! Now I have a smart phone that costs 10 cents per minute for voice calls, has no cell data access (which costs too much anyway), and the phone gets all the data it needs from my home wi-fi or other access points as needed. Overall, it's a great phone at an incredible purchase price and even better monthly recurring price if you're a light cell phone user.

I cracked the screen on my Lumia 830 so I bought this as a backup. Boy, am I impressed! So the camera is not as good as the 830's and it doesn't have a flash or a front facing camera, but for its price you can't beat this phone! The Lumia Selfie app resolves the lack of front facing camera, and even without the flash this camera (5MP) takes decent pictures. Windowsphone is a really cool OS and it grows on you if you give it a chance. Really wish Devs would support it better. I also think this the perfect size, not too big, not too small. The back shell comes out and you can buy different color ones for about $10. The green shell is pretty rocking I think. Almost forgot, the battery life on this thing is AMAZING!

I broke my Lumia 920 screen and wanted to replace it with an Android or iOS device, but then most of them are ridiculously expensive. And this Lumia 635 "gophone", I can just pop in my exisitng SIM card and started to use it right away. It sync'd all my apps and settings automatically (it was surprising) too.No 2-year contract to buy phones for the discount price, and if I get 2-year contract, I lose other discount. At the end, either 2 year contract or not, almost it seems I have to pay the full price anyway. These days cell phones for $500~$900 and replace every 2-3 years, and they don't last more than 2-3 years. It doesn't make sense to me to buy highend phones. This phone is affordable ($50) and very good quality. It has limited memory (8GB), but adding 32GB SD card and I can run apps from the card easily. So internal memory is not a problem, unlike other phones (iOS or Android). And moving apps to SD card is very easy.Before Windows Phone 8.1, the new UI is nice, but it lacked many features, but with 8.1, it's great. I love WP interface. I have both iOS and Android phones, and iPads, android tablets. I use Mac, Windows and Linux as well. iPhone battery lasts longest and very well built -- best quality, but way too expensive. Android device problem is the memory. Most of apps don't run from SD card so large internal memory is necessary which pushes up the price.Lumia 635 battery lasts longer than Lumia 920, and it's very durable, and with the cheap case+screen protector I bought on Amazon(E-Time, $6 for case AND screen protector), it feels really durable. Lumia 920 was very nice, but it was heavy, the metal case was slippery, and the battery didn't last long.I really really like this phone and I'm extremely happy with it.Downsides are:- no camera light. I rarely used the light anyway, so I don't miss it much, except the fact that I could use it as a flash light.- no sensor for brightness. You have to manually adjust the setting. It's easy to do, and not too much hassle though.- no compass sensor. Not an issue for me, and GPS works fine (GPS doesn't require compass sensor), but some apps may not work that requires compass.- no front facing camera. I don't take selfies, but take photos of my kids, so this is not a problem.When I purchased Lumia 920 about 2-3 years ago, there weren't too many apps, but now it has tons of great apps. And most of "essential" apps like facebooks, linkedin, etc are all there and tons of games as well.Compare to other phones, I love these three features (app specific):- Offline map. Maps can be downloaded and can be used offline. Very fast, and I don't have to worry about the connection or data usage.- Music app that I can download (offline music) and listen for free. I can't select songs for the free music, but it's not a problem -- I can listen to billbaord chart or classical music collection.- Radio. It has built-in FM radio.Lumia 530 is even cheaper (but smaller screen), but it's $30. Even w/o the phone service, you can use it as a GPS device and emergency 911 call, and games, music, etc.UPDATE: 2015-03-04I've been using it for a while, and here are some updates:- I wish the camera has higher resolution, but for this price, I guess it's ok. I took many videos and photos of my kids. They look fine on facebook/web, but it's not high resolution that you can print and frame it.- I did once needed a flash light, but I used the phone screen instead and it was bright enough for me at that time. I should look for an app that make the front screen all white+bright to use it as flash light. I remember iOS has such apps.- I don't know if it's the phone or career, a few times, the caller on the other end complained that my voice was choppy.- I have iOS headset with mic -- the mic didn't work with Lumia 920, but it works with this phone.

Firstly: Wow! I don't think I had low expectations even considering the low prices at Amazon and that's because, looking at the Reviews here and the apparent selling out on Amazon (and other online places), I guessed a very good phone. But would it be a 'very good phone for the price' or a 'very good phone' on its own? The answer to that is a resounding extremely good phone for the price and a very good phone on its own.Anyway is my Review:1) Got it delivered yesterday from Amazon. I put in my postpaid/contract Nokia Lumia 920's SIM inside. The phone worked right away--no APN changes.2) Logged into Windows Live and, in about 90 minutes, all my 'apps' were transferred/install from Lumia 920 to this Lumia 635. That ate up most of my 8 gb storage though--but I can and will get an SD card.3) Downloaded Nokia maps (free) for the US Southeast states and tested 'offline' navigation by going to a place 7 miles from the house. While the experience was not 100% Garmin-like it was more than adequate: Re-routing, over-speed alerts, and voice-based navigation all worked to pin-point perfection through quite a circuitous route I deliberately took. This phone can be your completely FREE GPS device if you use Wifi to download maps and don't have any cell plan.4) The battery lasted hours into late night until I plugged it in before going to bed. And at this time, at work, the battery drain is about 15% after moderate web usage, text etc--about 5 hours of usage so far.5) Camera quality is not too bad--***see my uploaded picture**. I am going to miss the LED flash of Nokia 920 though.6) AT&T's LTE is working fine--I have used speedtest 'app' to record both upload/download speeds of 17mbps!!7) Call quality is adequate. Speakers to play music is adequate.8) Windows Phone 8.1 is a great OS! I am very impressed by the performance on such a low-end hardware and am very impressed that the 'settings' from my Nokia Lumia 920's faithfully duplicating on this new phone.In short, despite the phone's shortcomings (no LED, no front facing camera, and relatively fewer 'apps') this phone can be your phone, your camera, your GPS device, your alarm clock, your wifi hotspot, your mp3 and video player, and with literally hundreds of thousands of 'apps' you will find plenty of ways to make other uses from this phone.I really can't say there are any 'negatives' about this phone! I may not replace my $480 Nokia Lumia 920 because of the camera-quality difference but this phone is a stronger contender to become my main, almost 'disposable' but extremely useful electronic Swiss Army Knife!**Update 15 Dec. 2014** Still using and loving this phone. In fact, just ordered another one for my wife to replace her Lumia 520 as her Christmas Present!**

I bought three of these for the kids. Where else can you get a smart phone for 100 bucks. Can't beat it. The only drawback is the camera but none of my kids are into picture taking. They use it for everything. I wanted to upgrade their messaging phones without signing up for a two year contract or paying $400-500 per phone. I picked these up and added them to my ATT account without any trouble. I switched to the family share plan and knocked my phone bill from $215 to $149 month.

I own a Samsung Galaxy, which is supposed to be more advanced, but I find my Windows Lumina phone much more reliable, easier to use and has not ever crashed on me, unlike my Samsung phone. The app screen is incredibly easy to use and very friendly. The battery has proved to be also of good quality and has not shown signs of weakening over the last 1.5 years. I am very surprised of the quality of this phone and its low price. The only down side in my view is that it does not have a flash, but it still takes good in poor lighting.

yes,yes, this phone more than met all expectations I had recently gotten windows 10 on computer so I just fell right in with this. the phone is not a lot larger than my last Trac phone so the handling was no adjustment. I got the case for it with the stand so that is another plus. all in all so far I have no complaints, good camera , lots of apps already on , I am very satisfied (for now). on to the next thing but not too soon. Oh, the price was a plus also.

The Nokia 635 is the perfect smart phone, and the price is certainly right. Not too large. Fits easily in my purse or pocket. Very user friendly. Love Windows software. Tons of apps. Great camera (although it doesn't have a "selfie" camera). This phone IS compatible with AT&T data software, It is 4G LTE with WI-FI and Data. Also will work in Europe and other foreign countries.

Moving from Android to the Windows Phone was really a good choice for me as far as form and function go. It synced beautifully with my Microsoft accounts and social media sites like Facebook. The Nokia Music Mixes are fantastic, and I love some of the other little perks that came with this reasonably priced mobile device as well. I bought these phones factory unlocked and went with StraightTalk, with absolutely no problems getting the Internet and MMS APNs set right. The thing is really fast on the 4G LTE plan at StraightTalk and bounces off the AT&T towers, so I have really good reception everywhere. I also ordered a couple of the different colored shells at a reasonable price off Amazon and the phones are quite attractive with the original white shells, but even snazzier with the blue and green ones we ordered. I saw some negative comments about the screen size and the number of pixels/brightness of the screen, but honestly, I find the images sharp and the size is just right for my use.

Bought this unlocked Windows phone for my son for a trip to Hong Kong and it worked perfectly when I installed a local pre-paid SIM card (from CSL) that I bought at the Hong Kong airport upon our arrival. I also plan to use it with a T-Mobile pre-paid SIM card in the USA.

I absolutely love my Nokia Windows 635,I can text faster, the screen is bigger so the internet is much more pleasurable, last but not least Amazon shipped it to me earlier that expected.. Two days earlier to be exact!!I love it!! This is my second time purchasing the 635, and its much cheaper on Amazon than it was in Walmart.. It was $120 dollars here it was $67 dollars!!

For only $29.99 this phone is awesome. I have no complaints about the physical size or shape of the phone. I have no real complaints about the phone at all. It has some really nice apps preinstalled especially for GPS navigation. I like that the maps are downloadable through wifi and usable offline. The only thing I wish was that more apps were available through windows. I definitely like the idea of windows being used on all my devices, phone, tablet, computer, it makes it so much nicer an easier. And when the windows 10 operating systems are available for phones it will be even more sleek. The next thing I wish this phone provided was a internal compass. Not having the compass makes the GPS a little less accurate and not as responsive. Also some apps require the internal compass in order to work, and I have already noticed several apps will not download because of it. But it's not that big of a deal especially for the price.

This is a very user friendly, (so far) reliable phone for the price with some nice but very limited "smart phone" features, just keep in mind that it runs off of a Microsoft Operating System. (Microsoft bought out Nokia last year) which limits you to the number of apps this phone can support since the majority of mobile phone apps run off of the android OS developed by Google, something I didn't realized until AFTER I bought the phone! (I think this is why the phone is being sold for such a great price at the moment.) For the price, I can see why its the #1 rated no contract phone (at the time I bought it on Amazon). For me at least I found it to be extremely user friendly. I did discover that there is a Windows app (beta) for Instagram, and you can download this from the phone through the "store" icon for free (thank you Microsoft and Google for cooperating on this!). However, the camera shutter speed on the camera is soooo slow! I bought it for basic calling for the most part. There are several pre-paid plan options you can buy which is explained in the literature that comes in the package. Set up was easy, you get your phone number assigned to you following the set up prompts. I chose the unlimited talk for $30.00 a month plan, way better than the $150 per month I was paying when I had my Blackberry with a contract plan that I was stuck with for two years. Unfortunately, there is no plan under $30 and I found that I didn't use up all my minutes with that plan. But you can buy a pre-paid Go Phone card from retail stores (grocery stores etc.) with $15 amounts that you can also use to top off your minutes. A month to month data plan is extra (my son has a no contract unlimited call and data plan with Virgin Mobile for $35!). You can upgrade at any time to include a data plan for using the internet, social media apps etc.(just keep in mind, your apps will be limited to those that run off of the Microsoft OS) If you have a wireless modem in your house, you can use it to connect to the internet without a data plan, which is convenient (I could read my Kindle books through the app this way). I think the screen size is pretty decent (of course I would have loved to have had a larger screen size but I didn't think it was worth the extra cost and the contract I'd be stuck in to buy one). I have large hands so I was pleased to see that the numbers on the dial pad are large enough for me to use without difficulty, and it doesn't feel like its made from a lot of cheap materials. The phone itself actually looks quite beautiful but the home page isn't that impressive looking, typical boring Microsoft Windows interface, however, when it goes into energy saving mode there is a really nice screen saver. The one thing that has bugged me is that when you are using an app like Instagram, if you aren't constantly using your fingers to swipe across the screen it bounces you back to the home page interface (very irritating), not sure if there is a way to change that. Since this phone is made by Nokia, I hope it lasts, however, these phones are no longer made in Finland (all I could determine is that the parts are made in Asia). I did buy a warranty for it though which lasts two years. It only comes with one recharger (wish there were two, my last Go Phone charger became damaged and the cost to replace it was the same cost as the phone which is why I had to buy this one and thus my decision to buy the warranty). It is leap years ahead from the first generation Go Phone that I bought when they first came out, and I got this for $10 less than what I had paid for my first phone which was a very cheap clam shell type phone with no capabilities other than calling. I hope this review helps anyone who is thinking about buying this phone.

I was a little upset that this Nokia smart phone was missing a feature that my older un-smart Nokia phone had which is the red glowing LED light indicating a missed call that stayed glowing off and on until you attended to it.Other than that, I like the phone a lot! Indeed worth $46!! The sim card in my other phone was too big to fit this one, so the AT&T store got me up and running (same account, same phone number) with the sim that came with this phone .A few things I discovered about this phone:1. You can see the screen in sunlight with the brightness setting on high.2. You can purchase a USB cable that fits the phone and copy files from computer to the phone. I used that feature to create a few notes to a text file on my computer, then copied the file to the phone for quick look up on some of the phone functions (I'm forgetful).If you want to see all the functions in this phone and how to operate them before you buy it (huge index), just paste the following address in a browser for the AT&T Nokia_Lumia_635 pdf manual at: http://www.att.com/support_static_files/manuals/Nokia_Lumia_635.pdf3. If you have a lot of contacts from your old phone and don't have an online sync account, it's going to be hair pulling trying to put them all in using the tiny keyboard in the phone. Much quicker to create a free Microsoft Account. and easily type them in at https://people.live.com/ using your computer keyboard. You can then hit the sync link on the phone to download them to your phone's contact list in one whack. When you get a call within ear shot of the phone and it's from a contact you put in, the phone will loud speak the name of the contact several times that's calling.4. The online data will burn a hole in your Go Phone balance quick. To prevent this, there are settings in the phone to switch data off, and WI-FI on to get the data free to your phone.5. The Cortana feature is nice! When you verbally ask her a question, it's automatically becomes typed in at the bottom as you talk. That lets you see if spelling is flowing correctly in order to be understood by Cortana. Ask her anything (weather forecast, etc) , in a few seconds she'll get back with the info and inform you verbally! I think she will actually do task for you like typing in stuff.6. The camera takes sharp pictures and the video camera makes clear sharp movies with good sound quality at a distance. Can copy the movies to your computer and watch them on the big screen.There is a lot more stuff the phone does like amber alerts, weather alerts, etc .. I just wished it had that glowing missed call light.

I bought this phone because my previous phone would stop receiving text messages from time to time. I looked on Amazon for a GoPhone and this is the first that came up. Looked at the reviews and they said that it does what it is intended to do (text, call, internet). I came from an Android phone so I am used to pretty much going on the app store and getting anything I wanted because the app store is huge. On the Android phone, I would pretty much call, text, play minor games, Snapchat, twitter and Instagram and check email. This phone has the ability to everything that I want it to but somethings are limited. Snapchat is a third-party software that in my opinion, sucks compared to the actual but it gets the job done.Twitter and Instagram are great.Email kinda sucks as well. I mostly use Gmail and there are apps on the app store but they are third party and I am not comfortable giving my email and password to someone that isn't Google or "name brand." The Windows email is not that great. I get the email but there are no folders like Gmail has such as, Primary, advertisement or even a spam folder. It is all just one big folder. There is no organizing at all. Something that was nice on my Android phone was that I would only get notification if it was a Primary email. But with Windows, I get a notification every time I get an email.Bottom line of the phone is that it gets the job done and it beats having to go buy a $300 phone from ATT for $600+.

This is a great phone for the money. Here are the pro's and con's.Pro:- Great 4G/LTE reception with AT&T. (You can use it with regular AT&T service, just take it in to AT&T and they will activate it.)- Windows 8 phone is a decent and stable operating system which has real potential. (See cons below.)- Lumia app map/traffic directions that come with the phone are very good.- Screen is good. It has a few issues in direct, bright sunlight.- Phone performance and build have been very good for me.- It survived a 4 foot drop to an asphalt surface with no damage. (It was in a Transformer Case.)Cons:- The apps available for the phone from the Windows app store are EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY limited.- Cortana is ok, but if you ask "What is the score of the hockey game between St. Louis and the Colorado Avalanche", the best Cortana can do is bring up a website for one of the teams. Google will give you the score of the game by voice.- The camera is passable as a 5mp camera but the pictures are more like a 3mp camera. There is no front facing camera. There is NO flash.I paid 70 dollars for the phone but it has been selling for as low as 40 bucks. At this price for a 4G/LTE phone, it is worth it. I must admit that the Windows App Store is the biggest drawback to this phone.Other inexpensive phones to consider for AT&T: HTC 610 Desire (Android).If you like using the Google Chrome and Android apps, the HTC 610 Desire or the HTC One M7 may be the phone for you.

I swapped the SIM out of my iPhone 4s to see what this device was capable of...and I am surprised at the results. First, I had set my expectations pretty low; I knew there would be apps missing from the store and I knew I would be giving up some integration with my laptop and iPad. A week in and I easily have 85% functionality at a FRACTION of the price. I am simply amazed at the price performance ratio of the Lumia 635. The performance is comparable to that of my iPhone 4s - that is to say it does feel a little slow when using some apps.The biggest issue with the device itself is the screen showing fingerprints. That was easily resolved using the Mr. Shield matte screen protectors. Otherwise, I've been pleased with the size, weight and battery performance.As for the apps, the weakest link is the standard email app and the Nokia Drive app is simply amazing. This device is worth the money just to use it as a GPS in your car...forget the Garmin. The email app on the other hand needs some love and care. You can only do two tasks easily with a mail message: reply or delete. Any other action requires three taps or more. Google handles my email and it would be cool to Archive and Move messages more easily.I plan on evaluating an Android device in the future, but for now this has replaced my iPhone. I considered an iPhone 5 but looking into the future, I already know the iPhone 6's are both too big for my (and my wife's) taste. Given that, we are looking at other options.

I bought this phone to use it in the philippines when we went on a vacation. I was quite hesitant at first that it might reject the simcard we bought in the philippines but surprisingly it worked well and is very easy to use. Im used to using iphone so im kinda new to windows phone but its very user friendly and was able to use its apps with no problem. The pictures are ok unlike the other phones with high resolutions.

The phone works great. It came unlocked.I only have two issues with it. The first issue is that the headphone jack doesn't always work properly and it's hard to put in.The second issue is with the wi-fi sometimes it connects to my network but other times I need to re enter my password even though it's set to autocorrect. Other than that it's a quite good choice.

The phone arrived ahead of schedule, it was as stated an Unlocked phone, which I am now using with my T-Mobile prepaid account. I have never had a windows phone before, so there was a bit of a learning curve. Other than that for the price it was a good deal and does everything my more expensive HTC did. There is no flash with the camera but it still takes good low light photos, I was pretty impressed.

It's not a great phone. It is, however, a great phone for the price. Full LTE speeds on T-Mobile plus hotspot capability is exactly what was advertised, and exactly what I got.It does crash out of memory-intensive apps without explanation fairly often. Other than that, it's pretty good.

Nokia Lumia 635 is an okay to good phone for an entry level Windows/Smartphone. This had Windows 8.1 on it and functions well. Allows for basic needs of calling, texting, email, internet, and apps. Only issue is to beware of the seller in the marketplace even if it is fulfilled by Amazon. The listing here mentions "Unlocked GSM 4G LTE" but some sellers just send AT&T GoPhone which are locked to the AT&T network. If the seller sends a genuine UNLOCKED mobile/cellphone then it will work on the 4G LTE networks in the USA. The 4G LTE network in the USA usually is the 1900 band which this phone is capable.Pros on the phoneA. Fast boot upB. Apps are fairly niceC. Feels sturdy in the handsD. Not a gigantic feel like some phonesCons of the PhoneA. Cortana keeps popping up even if you don't want to use it (This depends on your preference)B. Transfer Data from old Nokia phones requires an app, simple bluetooth transfer/sync didn't work with our older Nokia phones.Overall, mostly satisfied for a basic Windows Nokia phone. The main point is beware and conscious of the seller in the marketplace, even if it is "Fulfilled by Amazon". The seller that was fulfilled by Amazon was "Reliable Communication" and it was an AT&T GoPhone not completely unlocked.EDIT: As I continue to monitor feedback on my reviews and the comments I left on seller, I noticed my seller review was deleted. So this confirms my advice about being cautious on who you choose. "Reliable Communication" seller I would steer clear from completely. Very shady seller. Choose a seller who has had good feedback and a long positive history even if "Fulfilled By Amazon" is there. Phone still works good as a basic entry level Windows phone. Nothing more.

A decent phone for the price; this Windows phone seems like a fantastic investment for someone buying their first smartphone. They're cheap, very simple and intuitive to use, relatively durable, and with a beautiful interface. For a more serious smartphone user, though, I'd recommend Android (if you're into apps) or a higher-end Windows device (like the upcoming 940)

I only give him 3 star that has no front camera... could put it to the new Nokia 216 front bed, and that was not upgraded to Windows Mobile 10, despite the fact that today March 2017 is 100% operational, Apps are updated frequently, now if you are very frequent user of Facebook and BlackBerry BBM better comprate an Android or iOS since have not been very well developed these App otherwise I invite you to buy a 640 Lumia or Lumia 435 which have front-facing camera and Windows Mobile 10

I bought this phone last year and it has worked well up until the same time the following year. It's main problem currently is that it refuses to charge. It has sort of always had the problem of needing to be on in order to charge which has now proven deadly. Really the problem started with it not charging with regular use about four months ago and I had to keep it in sleep mode (if you will) while it charged. That was until about two months ago when it refused to charge with its native charger. I then spent about five dollars on a new charger which worked well up until today December the 17th (bought it last year on December 3rd) where after a night spent . on the charger it still won't so much as vibrate. So it is with that I now face the challenge of traveling by plane for Christmas without a phone or any way to contact anybody should something go wrong. P.s. Amazon's autocorrect is garbage...

I bought this phone for the Bluetooth as that feature on my Lumia 1520 has stopped connecting with several of my devices. I thought I could use this phone to fill in for music, fitness band, etc. But this phone is having the same problem as my 1520 -- pairing, but not staying connected, so it's useless to me. It might be a recent software update because I've had my 1520 almost two years and just started having this particular problem. When searching the problem online, I see it's a pretty widespread problem. If Bluetooth is not important to you, aside from the phone getting hot quickly, it's a good deal.

It's OK if you like to charge your phone every single night even if you've not used the phone that day!!!! Previously I had a Nokia to use with T-Mobile (we had to change carriers because our son went to college where T-Mobile receives ZERO reception) anyway - the previous Nokia would last me all week - I only had to charge once a week. This one has a very low battery life - it's this way on all 3 phones we purchased so it's not just one fluke of a defective battery. I have no apps on this phone; it is used strictly as a phone - we use the 10 cents a minute plan. To be honest there are days I don't even use the phone and the battery dies in less than 2 days - hence I have to charge it every night. I guess you get what you pay for = $40.00 for a phone and the privilege of charging it every night - which means it is costing me the price of electricity every single night.

Overall this a good choice for a budget phone if you're willing to overlook some flaws and inconveniences. It offers a good display with a decent processor that loads apps fairly quickly. Call service, quality, and texting all worked as expected with no real complaints outside of the somewhat odd Windows interface that takes some getting used to. The outer casing may feel a little cheap, but I've had no problems with phone durability even after a few drops.On the negative side I did encounter a big problem with some apps simply refusing to ever install on my phone. Even some apps that came pre-installed on the phone refused to update and run correctly. I wasn't able to fix this issue or pinpoint the cause even after some internet research, but I admittedly was never bothered by it enough to dedicate a lot of time to trying to fix it. Other apps would download and work perfectly fine.Internet Explorer also has a tendency to crash regularly and just not work well on some popular websites I like to visit, sometimes requiring me to soft reset the phone in order to clear up whatever problems it was having.The camera is fine for well lit outdoor environments, but don't expect to take any decent pictures or video in most indoor settings. Also, no front facing camera wasn't a big deal to me personally, but I know a lot of people would find that a big negative.I've used this phone for about 6 months, and for the price the Lumia 635 deliverers about what you can expect feature wise, but possibly with the cost of putting up with some technical problems.

No map storage on SD card.The phone has 8GB of internal storage, of which about 4.5GB is already obligated out of the box. One of the pre-loaded apps is called "Maps," which will display maps as long as a wireless connection is available. If a wi-fi connection isn't available, or one wants to avoid roaming charges, there is an option for downloading maps for an entire country for offline use. Unfortunately, the USA map is over 4GB in size and will not fit within the available phone memory. Until last year, Lumia phones had the capability of saving maps to an add-on SD memory card. No more! That feature has been removed with Windows Phone 8.1. What could be a very important app is now almost worthless.

The phone is easy to operate but it has developed a problem with the charging port and is no longer charging.

I love Android, I don't like windows, but this supplies my need for now.

Battery life is not as good as I thought, may new a new battery. ,shut off sometimes close to 20%

Phone is ok for the price. Its my mistake that i did not read enough because i thought all phones come with front facing camera nowadays. Well this one dont. I almost returned it but the in law said it will work for her.

Great phone but the browser crashes alot

To tell the truth am very disappointed about the internet connection regarding 4G, it might be my service provider but i checked with my friends and the service works with them just fine, i can't get this phone to work 4G.the performance other than that is good.

Its ok but having problem with texting / messaging. No user manual was included. Going on-line you were directed to AT&T's page which had nothing. The seller / manufacturer merely quipped to "read the manual". Going to try to see if people in the AT&T store can help but so far disappointed. I know cheaper phones will have less bells and whistles, but simple texting between 2 people should not be so difficult.

its getting me by ive had it for a few months definitely a huge downgrade, apps suck, web browser sucks(always crashing)idk i wouldn't recommend this to anyone, not even for a low budget find a better one.long live android!*Update: 6 months and its decided to take a dump. Never dropped it, kept it clean, kept it charged, stayed away from bad downloads, and never flooded the memory. Hopefully it's true that Windows won't make any more phone operating systems. Besides that companies never support Windows because they never listen to what the people want.

Good phone to get you by until you can afford an actual good phone. Lol

I got this phone for my son. If you need a phone that only calls ,then it's a good phone for the price. However, he likes to download apps and we haven't been able to download any. We've tried to contact customer service ,but keep getting different people who don't know how to fix the problem. I wished I would've sent a little more money to get him an android phone or one that downloads apps easily.

I like the win system very much, it is beautiful, easy and works smoothly. Although it does not have so many apps like android or ios, the apps on win usually have an elegant interface and are enough for me. The battery is good, and the machine is solid, although the touch screen feels a little bitter slow on your fingertips. Anyway, at the very beginning, I was very satisfied of the phone.However, after I use less than five months, the speaker suddenly stopped work. It is horrible because I missed the alarm and several calls. It came back to work after I took out the sim card and put it away for a whole day. But after two weeks the speaker stopped work unexpectedly again, and this time I had to contact with Amazon to return it back.This phone has some other small problems, for example, the phone cannot display a right time zone after three months usage. I have to set it manually. From the very beginning, the phone cannot connect to my PC by usb. But without the speaker's problem, I could tolerate it. I understand t is a cellphone only cost me $50, but the quality still disappointed me. I really hope we could have more quality choice on win phone.

Phone does not have the basic instructions on how to use camera. Instruction that came with phone are not enough to operate phones apps. This my first smart phone. Need better instruction on how to use all that phone has to offer. I know how to operate phone, that is it.

Product is Ok. It doesn't have the front camera. Couple of items to watch out when you order this phone. No. 1 - I ordered black color but received the white color. No. 2 - As you see in the picture it doesn't have any logo on the mobile, but when I received I can see the service providers logo (T-Mobile logo) on the top. So, please watch out for these issues when you order.

Battery life is short and battery had to be replaced in 4 months. A few months after purchase charging port on phone stopped working. Battery would not charge when phone was plugged in. Used another cord to test: confirmed that it was the phone port and not the cord. I won't recommend this product.

Build quality is great but Windows kills it. This thing crashes me back to the start screen all the damn time. 50/50 chance you can watch more than 3 min of a youtube clip before it freezes and you have to start over and good luck using the reddit app.

I read a lot of good reviews about Nokia Lumia 635 and just bought one a few days ago from Wireless experts on Amazon but very disappointed as it keeps hanging and the battery doesn't last at all so thinking of returning it- meaning I have to be without a phone for sometime again; which is very upsetting. I like the phone but hate that it keeps hanging and battery doesn't last. Not sure if this is an issue with Nokia Lumia 635 from this particular seller or something peculiar with Nokia Lumia 635 in general.

This seems to be an at&t phone, is there a way to get full use out of it?You say it's unlocked but I can't roam from a wifi if I need to use the internet, almost all of the pre-loaded programs are at&t'sand the Bluetooth will not connect to my car (my old phone did). The service I am using is Consumer Cellular, they supplied the sim cardand assured me that it would be compatible, but the preloaded programs won't allow full use of the phone.

I didn't know this was a go phone from att, if I known that, I hadn't buy it, is not what I expected.

I hate fact it has taken 4hours to set up&since sd card wasn't in had to factory reset it to take micro sd card

Awful, I must say it most likely has little to do with Nokia as they traditionally make great phones so I would say Windows has no place in the phone game and cannot compete with a Droid or an iPhone

Got this for my son as a cheap phone so he could play games, we have iPhones (always) and I did not find many games that could be downloaded that he enjoyed. I would rather have bought an old used iPhone instead.

My old phone broke, so I quickly purchased this one, because of the good reviews and the price. When I first received this phone I was happy with it. Very easy to use, but then things went down hill. The biggest problem is downloading apps. There was so many that I could not use. It became very frustrating and I had planned to buy a new phone, even though I only had it a total of 4 months. Well one day it just froze and I couldn't do anything. I tried turning it on and off, taking the battery out, but nothing worked. The screen was locked, so I had to buy a new phone. Went back to Samsung and so far I'm very happy, started downloading all my favorite apps right away.

I originally purchased this phone and within 2 days, it was dead. Stopped working completely. Amazon.com sent a replacement which worked for 3 1/2 months and suddenly died. Two weeks past the eligible return time. I am very disappointed that I have to now go to another company to buy a phone, that will last longer than 3 1/2 months. DO yourself a favor and don't be cheap like I was - you get what you pay for. Just spend a little extra money for a phone worth having.

This is one of the worst phones I ever owned. The charger died less than 24 hrs after I set up the phone, Battery life is horrible drains rapidly even in airplane mode, phone charges very slowly when hooked up to Windows 10 PC via usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports. AT&T service is good and reasonably priced but I am going back to android. Microsoft needs to get there act together or this phone will fade from existence.

This phone is the worse ever. The battery drains within less an hour; you need to connect the phone to the power all the time. Unfortunately, I sent it to my sister as a gist and it was very embarrassing to send her such gift. Otherwise I should have returned it.

Request a phone unlocked as indicated in the publication, but both got blocked. One was only I could release but the other did the impossible to do so and to spend almost the same amount of money to release it, I could not. I really lets this because when I found out because I could not unlock, AT & T indicated that the IMEI had been reported. So as you can not sell a phone like this.

it supossed to come unlocket, today is april 20th and i am still trying to unlock this phone as it comes locket to T mobile.... i just lost my money here. i called T mobile USA and hey say that as i didnt get the phone from them they cannot provide me with the unlocking code....

This phone I bought is not unlocked just only to Att customers . I will keep for storage reasons . I wasted 130 bucks.

it's not unlocked.. first it was delayed due to product availiability, that was okay even if it takes another week to arrive. but when it arrives, I received and AT&t locked phone. "Nokia Lumia 635 "Cortana" 8GB Unlocked GSM 4G LTE Windows 8.1 Quad-Core Smartphone - Black "
