Microsoft Lumia 640 and 640XL arrive on ATT this month

The Microsoft Lumia 640 and 640XL will finally become more widely available here in the US within the next 2-3 weeks.

Last month Rod had the opportunity to take a closer look at the Microsoft Lumia 640 as the handset arrived in the US for the first time on the Cricket network.

We have known for sometime that the 640's big brother, the Microsoft Lumia 640XL, would be coming to AT&T here in the US at some point. However, the product page on the AT&T website continues to indicate it is coming soon with no further indication of its availability.

Well it appears that both the Microsoft Lumia 640 and 640XL will be available through AT&T this month.

While attending a local Microsoft sponsored event I had my first opportunity to take a quick look at these two devices and discuss them with the Lumia rep working the product table.

It was during this conversation that I learned the two phones would be arriving this month on AT&T.

The Microsoft Lumia 640 will be available first, possibly within the next week, and cost in the low to mid $100 dollar range. The Microsoft Lumia 640XL will arrive by the end of June and cost approximately $100 more than its sibling.

Those prices are for unlocked versions of the devices which is a very good deal anywhere in those price ranges.

I have reached out to Microsoft to ask for further information on these details and will update this article with anything I hear back.

Update: This is the reply I received from a Microsoft spokesperson - “We do not have anything to share at this time.”

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
