The 640 seems to be a nice place to stop between the 521 and the 900's. It's big, but not too big and has many, many options for slim but solid protective cases, which I usually apply immediately. It can take plenty of memory on an SD card. The battery lasts the whole day if I use the phone a lot, and several-to-many days if I don't. It's brighter than the 521, better sound, more speakers. It has the usual Windows Phone issues, but so do the higher end, newer models, and it seems to have fewer bugs. Didn't like it with Windows 10, downgraded back to 8.1. Maybe Win10 when it's all polished and fixed... or maybe not. Decent camera, though for some reason, this model doesn't have the camera button on the outside, which is disappointing, but it does have many built-in fun things for photography. My phone was originally meant to be an AT&T GoPhone, with bloatware included. It's hard to get rid of the bloatware, since it keeps sending upgrades to applications I've already deleted, but since this doesn't affect the battery life the way it did in my 920, I just ignore it between occasional mass deletions. I like how it hooks up with my computer and talks to my iphone-- had trouble doing that both with my 521 and 920. Despite these and a few other annoying things mostly to do with Windows Phone, I like this phone, and have given it as gifts to family, as well.Read full review

I'm having a hard time learning some of the features even though I have Windows 10 in my PC. I wish there were a place to go that knows all the answers instead of sending me to the internet every time I have a question to read a lot of people answers that are all different. I really would love to learn how to simple send an attachment (photo) with a text without going through Facebook. I may want to sent a photo to someone who is not a Facebook friend. It's complicated to get all my old photos that are on my computer onto my phone also. I'm hopeful that I will soon learn to do these things that I found simple to do on other phones I've had in the past. Otherwise the phone is impressive and I know it's capable of doing a lot of things.

Once you unlock the phone, you must contact MetroPCS to let them know the IMEI number of this phone. The number is on the bottom of the packaging. It's the digits under the middle barcode. Then and only then will this phone work on the Metro network. They may also need the numbers from the SIM you are putting in. Also, I recommend a quality micro SD card, as generic cheap ones are prone to failure. The phone works great and it communicates seamlessly with my Windows 10 laptop. :-) The driving app & Mix Radio apps {which use no data} are worth the price alone. I recommend this phone for those people like me that just HAVE to have a windows phone!

A good compromise between price, performance, and long working on the battery. You know that nothing is perfect . But this phone deserves attention. I bought it first himself and then my wife and now for $ 29.99 bought two on the shelf . I do not have to worry about the screen or get wet. I'm not a slave to the iPhone ( last 4 years I was ) I installed a Micro SD Card 64 GB for $ 16 (max 128) and now I don't have problem with the data archive . When sd memory card is full I buying another memory card . Full Backup and no clouds out there somewhere who knows where . I'm sorry for the mistakes English is not my native language.

Best $59 I ever spent...... I use it with At&t regular sharing service with my wife. She has one with ALL the bells and whistles and this one is just as good. I would like a little better battery life but you can't have everything at less than $500. Get one, you WILL like it....
