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.Pro

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.Pro
- intuitive interfaces, easy-to-use apps
- a must for anyone with MS on their computer

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.
Pro
- Excellent price/performance ratio
- Simple and fast operation
- Offline map material can be downloaded free of charge.
- Memory easily expandable with micro SD card
Contra
- Housing not as valuable as high-end phones

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...)Pro
- unbeatable price/performance ratio!
- very intuitive to use, quick to learn
- accessible battery, additional memory slot
Contra
- camera only on the back: limiting for Skype

The Lumia 635 is an entry-level smartphone with an excellent price/performance ratio. The Windows 8.1 system is very intuitive and quick to learn, and the online help is very self-explanatory if necessary. The technology is very good with LTE, WiFI, Bluetooth 4.0LE, a bright screen and a good camera (small downside - no flash). The HERE Maps and HERE Drive+ applications with preloaded maps allow you to use them with a prepaid SIM card! For music fans the Lumia 635's memory can be expanded with an SD Card.
To finish I will say that the Lumia 635 is a little one that has everything of a big one...Pro
- Quality/price ratio
- Removable battery
- Simple but elegant design
- Dimensions (fits well in the hand)
Contra
- No flash

I am satisfied. It's a pity that certain apps are not available for Windows Phone.
The price is right and you can do everything.Pro

Very good little phone to use.
Very good little phone at an affordable price. The system and applications run smoothly and quickly. The design is nice and can pass for a more expensive device. If you can do without a high resolution camera (the one on this phone is quite decent, but doesn't compare to a high end device), highly recommended. Otherwise, can be used as a backup device.

I have been using the Lumia for about 1 month now and am very satisfied with it.
It sits well in the hand and can also be operated with one hand. The battery is still at 70% when I use it moderately in the evening, which means I can surf the internet for a while without constantly checking the battery level.
The key layout for French (Switzerland) is wrong, but this is a WP 8.1 problem. Microsoft/Nokia must improve this. Cortana is also not yet activated.Pro
- Battery consumption

- Button layout partly wrong in WP 8.1
- Cortana not activated
