Its a pretty good budget smartphone for that price. Nokia is a brand name as opposed to Blu , and Nokia makes well lasting solid phone. They are not fancy, but last a long time. Microsoft has now bought out Nokia.

Nice review below for Lumina 635. Read few of the comments too.

The good thing is its unlocked , so you can use it with any carrier.

If you can manage to find Moto G ( first generation ) at a similar price that's also very good. Moto G will be an Android phone..not a Win 8.1 phone, like Lumina 635

Thanks tjthemanto! The only thing I can identify is the expensive nokia phone has 8gb storage and the blu jr has 4gb. That's the extent of my smartphone knowledge.

Oh well, if MS wants to take their time to collect payment then it's fine with me...I really dread seeing all my cc bills...perhaps putting the charge through next month is better for me.

My credit card was charged today ..almost 50 days after I ordered the phone .. I ordered on Dec. 1 - 2014 , and I am getting charged today..on Jan. 20 -2015.

Almost forgot about it

I have NO sound ( audio ) whatsoever on the phone.

This is both while speaking & hearing . So both the earpiece & mouthpiece are not working.

I have tried playing youtube videos on it , calling people , listening to songs ..NADA.

Does anyone else have the same problem ?

Who do I contact to repair or exchange this phone ?..since its been almost 4 months since I bought it.

Do I deal with the Manufacturer ( BLU ) or do I go through Microsoft Canada Online store, to exchange or repair this phone ?

I am guessing the warranty on this phone is at least for 1 year.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting BLU Products. We are happy to help you!



We recommend that you perform a hard reset on your device. To perform the Hard Reset via the recovery mode on the BLU Win HD/JR, you will need follow these steps (please note that this will erase all the data, pictures and videos save in the internal memory be sure to back these up first):

1. Press and hold the volume down button + Power button at the same time until you feel a vibration (about 3-5 seconds).
2. Once you feel the vibration, let go of both volume down button + Power button and immediately press the volume down button until you see a large exclamation mark. (will show up after the BLU logo)
3. Press the following four buttons in this order: volume up button, volume down button, power button, volume down button. Your phone should now reset and restart itself. (It might take a while for the reset to finish.)
