Super slim and handy Windows Phone 8.1 device.
Fits much better in smaller hands. Still a good readable screen and lightning-fast data connections thanks to LTE.

If you are like me, and simply want a telephone that works intuitively, is easy to use, and is a great value for the price, this phone is it! I have MS at work and a Surface tablet, so my life has suddenly become simple again. For the past three years, I had an HTC Desire with Android - never again. My wife uses an iPhone - not bad, but far too complicated if I want to sync with applications from work.
The sim-card is easy to install and makes the iPhone process look medieval. The outlook express app works brilliantly, photos meet my standards and are easy to sideload. IE interface is far better than the Firefox I used on the HTC (which needed three-four steps for the simplest operations) and Safari is probably the worst browser on the market. Everyone warned me against MS Apps (mostly lack thereof), but so far I have found everything I have wanted (e.g. Telegram, etc) and am very happy with how they work. The navigation apps allow you to download maps and work far better than what I had on the Desire.
The only thing I can't comment on is music - simply haven't tried it out yet.
If you don't want to spend a fortune for a phone (my limit for ANY device is CHF 300) and you work with MS at the office, this phone is for you: intuitive, smooth interfaces, ready to go in minutes.

Very well functioning product for this price.
Display resolution not too high, but we knew that beforehand.
Smartphone functions flawlessly. The device is amazingly fast. The price/performance ratio is excellent. The casing does not radiate the quality of an HTC or iPhone, but it is neatly finished. The memory can be inexpensively expanded with a micro SD card.

I hadn't changed my smartphone for 4 years. Since I got this Nokia 635, I am very happy with it:
- very simple, intuitive, well thought out WindowsPhone use; very well designed help menus
- very pleasant screen, both for the display and for the touch responsiveness
- long live non-proprietary formats! To put music, photos, etc. on it, no need to complicate your life and go through iTunes or iPhoto (like on my iPod touch), it's a simple drag&drop
- I'm sure you'll agree that it's a good idea to have a battery and a slot for an additional memory card (not like on Apple products...)!
And all this for a price... unbeatable! (again, I can't help but compare it to the price of Apple products...)

From my point of view, this is a top mobile phone.
Speed, display, ...
The big disadvantages are some "important" missing apps and the flash!
