Lack of apps and the Internet browser was shocking on the 640 I got my wife. Wouldn't touch a windows phone again. A bit disappointed as they're often a bargain.

A lot of the problems and issues people are talking about here should all be gone once the Windows Mobille 10 Firmware comes through which is a OTA upgrade expected sometime soon.

You get a sim out of tesco, put £10 on the sim, then phone tesco mobile with the imei number and the phone number on the sim with £10 on it, and they will send you the unlock code by email .

Scratch that . Thought the phone was on tesco mobile,it's just bought from there .

guess this is locked to Vodafone.. pls update title.. still a very good deal. NY idea how much it costs to unlock as I am on EE network..

£14 to get unlock code from ebay

No thanks.........................

I really like the Windows Phone OS and could have done without the millions of apps available other platforms, but Microsoft seem unable to put out a decent flagship Windows Phone. The 950 looks no better than a mid-ranger and seemed to be plagued with glitches at launch. A shame, as I really wanted to support the platform, but when it came to a choice between the 950 at well over £400, glitches and all, or an LG G4 at £235, there was only going to be one winner.

Saying that, this looks like a bargain for the price.

How does that work exactly? Do you phone Tesco Mobile, or is it in-store?

Spotify is still supported: http://mspoweruser.com/spotify-updating-windows-phone-8-1-app-version-5-2-improving-support-windows-phone/

great price, heat added

Well I'd get a notification for a group page but when clicking on it instead of taking me to the new comments for that post in that group page it'd just take me to the group page, so if I wanted to see the notification I'd have to scroll through everything on the page to find it.
I also noticed when filtering by most recent it didn't show a lot of stuff on my newsfeed like 2 or 3 things for every hour so it's go back like 2 days but kinda be out of date.
Browser was laggy.
Dl mymy email for emails no quick syncing and couldn't send replies. Could see no way to get the original email app back.
No way to lock individual apps.

Had this phone for a month and sold it today actually. Didn't like it at all. Been used to Android. Found it very laggy. Some apps didn't work properly eg fb due to being made by other sources and couldn't find a decent email app either after accidentally uninstalling the standard one and could find no way to reinstall

Shame coz nice design and build quality

Anyway to easily unlock this to use with a LIFE Mobile sim?

He even got the date wrong as it was announced 26th February. Not last week.

Indeed!

This statement "Popular App "WhatsApp" will no longer be available on Nokia handsets it was announced last week!" is simply b0llocks.

See what I mean. It's only old phones.
BlackBerry, including BlackBerry 10
Nokia S40
Nokia Symbian S60
Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
Windows Phone 7.1

Popular App "WhatsApp" will no longer be available on Nokia handsets it was announced last week!

Interesting, I was quoting from a user on a Windows forum who said that Spotify was no longer there, it appears they were wrong.

If it continues to operate the way it does then I will not be bothered about updates.

Having tried Windows 10 I am in no rush to use that anyway and am happy on 8.1 at the moment.

Seriously, the level of idiocy and just bold faced lies about Windows phone and it's store just ludicrous.
The support has ended for Windows 8 phones with a Windows 10 uwa to be released soon.
Windows 10 store on my lumia 640xl as of 5 minutes ago.

At least you can still use Spotify, should you wish, although I understand for those running Windows 10 it no longer appears in the store. Get it while you can I guess.

the concept behind windows phone is great but boy I wish they really give more incentives to the developers to make more apps on this platform. I eventually gave up using my windows phone because of the VERY limited choice of apps on windows phone. however, great price especially when you can profit from cex. HOT from me!

If you want a decent speed all purpose phone for a very low price, get a windows phone. Equivalent android is almost always slower and cheaply made. Got this one at the minute, no complaints at all for what I paid for it.

If you want something which is speedy AND has all the apps, you'll need to spend a bit more (~£100 from what I can see).

Is this locked to Tesco's network?

Quite fancy a Windows phone to play about with? I take it this is locked? If so, is it easy to unlock?

Thanks OP, I've got some Clubcard points to up!
