Would pay the extra £10 and get the Win Blu HD with Snapdragon 410, 306 graphics and H265 built in
and just wait [end of jan] for the windows 10 update for it..
Lumia 550 is a great way to get into Windows 10 mobile and if you like talking, but have no-one to talk
to.. Cortana is always on hand [very quickly on this handset!] to have a chat with, tell some jokes and
generally pretend you have some real world friends :smile:

Hi. It looks good but cos I don't have a nano sim can't really check it out till my daughter comes tomorrow.

Come with charging cable but no plug. Everyone has a USB plug don't they??? Picked mine up and I'm chuffed.

Lumia 640 refurb is 69.99 at O2 right now. Got one and it is grade A - no scratches or marks on screen or cover - original sticker with cover removal instructions still on back. If you buy online - just order with whatever pay as you go sim - you wont pay for it - they will just send you free sim that needs to be topped up according to your needs.

they don't. the boxes are fully sealed - they just don't come with them. and a good idea it is too.

thank you, I have the nokia Lumia 1320 at the moment but I don't know if I should get this one for back up and at this price its a steal

Stooby49 to luke_home87
17 Dec 151#26
Yes

17 Dec 151#24
No. You don't have to pay only for the phone. I spoke to O2 on web chat. They talked me through it.

You have to choose a tariff then it goes to add to basket page. You don't have to take a tariff. Spoke to O2. You aren't charged. I'm picking mine up instore. Same price. I said Its a christmas pressie so don't need to buy a top up
luke_home87 to ethypops
17 Dec 15#22
when you add it to basket and say you selected the £10 bundle it does not show up but you don't have to pay that do you? sorry to be stupid
ethypops
17 Dec 15#6
Ok. Don't want to sound simple. But on website I booked click and collect but can't see where to add it to my basket. Just tariffs, but don't need a tarrif as I already have one with tesco sim only? Can you only buy this with a tariff ?
luke_home87 to ethypops
17 Dec 15#20
I found this to. how do you buy it without contract/tariffs?

Is it easy to unlock this?

If your daughter doesn't know or care, get her the cheaper phone, spend £10 on something else. Not sure what covers you can get for BLU phones though. I have a 640 it's a good phone, great battery.

Just about to get a lumia 640 for my daughter. Does anyone know if this is a better option? Thanks in advance.

The 640 is a better phone and can be updated to windows 10 via the Windows insider program.
The 640 is generally the better phone unless you want to do selfies, where the 550 has the better secondary camera, at least on paper it suggests it has.

Probably best waiting for the official launch of Windows 10 which may be weeks away rather than going the Insider route... The roll out is very very close!!

I think the memory is the same too - 1 GB ram in both. 8GB storage in both too. the 0.5 Gb ram / 4Gb storage is the US version of the Blu Jr. The 550 has a better front facing (selfie) camera if that is important to you. 550 slightly better looking?

What do you think - this phone or this one? The other phone has a better processor but less memory, has a smaller screen and an older version of Windows (but updatable), is £10 cheaper, and unlocked. Hmmm...

That's ridiculous...! I realise most of us have a cable, but for those who don't, it's useless unless they spend more.

Sorted. Spoke to O2 on their web chat. When I asked if it would take tesco sim he said he can't comment but should do and if it doesn't I have 14 days to try the phone and return for a full refund if I don't like it/sim won't work. Great. Going to place my order now.

Yes i bought one the other day.comes without charger ,without a USB lead .there is only phone and battery in the box ..
O2 removes charger from every phone box before selling it to customers .they believe they are saving the planet for not giving the charger to their customers...
But why they are selling the Chargers separately then ?
