Nokia Lumia 635 4G UK SIM-Free Smartphone - Black (Windows, 4.5-inch, 8 GB)

I'm really liking this phone. I'm changing over from a HTC Wildfire (which is probably 3-4 years old now) and don't have a lot of experience of smartphones, so this review won't be particularly technical! Things I like: - it starts up very quickly - Word Flow typing and its predictive text are really good - very few errors, esp. compared to what I am used to. - graphics are very fluid, sliding from one screen to the next is almost pleasurable! - I like the calendar - easy to use and view. - it's a Nokia! Always liked the regular Nokia phones - hard-wearing and intuitive to use. I'm pleased Nokia are getting up to speed with Smartphones. - I like the sound and picture quality when streaming (I've only used over WiFi not mobile internet). Things I think Nokia/Windows could improve: - Available Apps. There are a lot of apps out there, but there are a few that I haven't found, e.g. ColorNote (although Office's OneNote is coming in handy as a replacement). Of course, this may not actually be down to Nokia/Windows but the people who actually develop the apps. - I think the settings menu could be tidied up a little. - The phone doesn't have a flash...but most photos seem to come out OK. I suppose it depends on the environment, and ultimately, if you are used to a phone that is just a phone, you will still be pleased with the camera. Camera is easy to use. - Both this phone and the previous smartphone I have used need the phone to be switched on for the alarm to work. I loved the days when I could save battery life by switching the phone off at night yet still knowing the alarm would go off. I have a feeling this is true of all smartphones and I guess it's to do with everything being an "app" these days, but it would be nice if there was some way of getting the alarms to work when the phone is off (I'm sure there is such a way!). I'm used to using Alarm Clock Xtreme, which has a lot of settings for snoozing, etc (terrible habit, I know!). Can't find the app for this phone, so am using the standard alarm. Snooze time is 10 min. Things I've worked out that maybe, like me, not everyone will know when moving to this phone: - to take a screenshot, press both side buttons simultaneously (I'd never known how to take screenshots on a phone before) - to customise your Home screen, press on a tile and they all begin to 'float'. You can remove, change the size and move tiles to suit your needs. To add a tile from your apps list, press down on the app entry and then select Pin to Start. - Quite a few of the pre-installed apps (which more often than not I tend to find aren't necessary for my use) can be uninstalled. I don't know if they are truly uninstalled or just go hiding somewhere, but it helps to reduce the number of apps I have to scroll through on my app list. - hold down the <- arrow to view all the windows you have open. At first I was annoyed that I couldn't, say, come out of a google search without having to repeat the search...then I discovered this function! Not the tidiest of reviews, I admit, but I hope this helps people who are moving over to the Nokia Lumia models. I'm really pleased I have made the move, and really like this phone. For the price, I don't think you could expect more really (I've seen the cost of higher spec models and iphones, etc.!) - this phone does a hell of a lot and nicely too :-) I guess these days, mobile phones are less about being phones and more about being everything you need whilst on the go! EDIT - forgot to say, it doesn't come with a USB cable if you want to connect to PC - I haven't got that far yet! I paid £119 on 12/09/14. Arrived on SUNDAY (!) 14/09/14. Great delivery service. Was sold by Amazon when I purchased.

while the phone itself is nice and works well the operating system (OS) is windows 8.1 mobile and is no longer supported by microsoft. the Nokia Lumina 635 with 1 gig of ram is eligable for a free upgrade to windows 10 mobile but this version (512MB ram) is too low specs for the upgrade and so is essentially obsolete technology for a windows mobile OS. hense why i don't recommend anyone buy it.

Cheap enough but not exactly brilliant for storing your stylus. Also no instructions for placing the screen protector on correctly. I did what I considered to be correct but it was useless as all that happened is bubbles appeared all over the place and some small particles and ruined it. The pen is ok, but never use it simply because its not really viable to store in the case. The case itself is good enough, it protects the mobile. But be aware of getting damp or wet as I believe there is cardboard built in and will get mouldy. Overall good enough for price and would recommend

I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about buying this phone, especially considering the price tag and the Windows operating system. I have an iPhone 4s which I use for work and wanted something else for personal use. The 635 is a perfect size; slim and lightweight with great graphics and a vivid color display which is better than the iPhone (in my opinion) in direct sunlight. I like the fact that I can individualize the home screen and have an up to date basic view of all applications (email, calendar and social media etc) without having to open each of them individually. The camera produces good quality pictures and has some nice options for shooting in different modes/scenes. Battery life is very good for a smart phone. It can survive a full day of pretty heavy usage and charges fairly quickly too. My only gripe (and I'm picking to be constructive) is that it's not quite as responsive as my iPhone. Some of the applications take a second longer to load and there is no front camera, which in all reality, I never use anyway! Overall, excellent value for money.

Das Nokia ist nicht schlecht. Vielleicht sollte man in der Produktbeschreibung mit angeben, dass das Ladegerät eine englischen Stecker hat. Musste mir erst noch ein anderes Ladekabel organisieren, um das Handy in Betrieb zu nehmen.

Remplacement du précédent

Tres contente et c un telephone sympas que je recommande .Par contre je tien a preciser que le chargeur a besoin dune prise Anglaise pour le brancher

Un móvil senzillo, con las prestaciones de qualquier otro termilal y con muy buen resultado a la hora de hacer fotos.

semplice, piccolo, robusto di poche pretese ma con qualità di ricezione e audio degne di un vero Nokia. Mi accorgo che l'ho sempre in tasca alla faccia di altri smartphone più grandi e potenti che negli anni mi sono stati regalati. A fine anno toglieranno anche il supporto di whatsapp, un vero peccato, dovrò abbandonare un oggetto robusto e performante e riutilizzare una bistecchiera android.
