Good choice and at 10k with office and one drive offer it is certainly good buy.

But will think about buying if available at Amazon

L640 is a fk exclusive. So buying from Amazon will be a lot of waiting if MS ever decide to sell it via amazon.

@ Tenida, how things change so fast.
I remember you recommending people Asus and now you are away from FK and Asus as well.

Yes, for that reason I bought one but I don't want to make same mistake again. And for flipkart enough lesson learnt cannot take anymore risk. I know how I got the refund from them. Its like a getting 36 runs on last over. uff
P.s: I was recommending people right but at the same time I put a true review so that future user cannot makes any wrong decision like me.

Lumia 640 XL, has better cameras. Or even the 730.

[MENTION=52310]Tenida[/MENTION], do tell me what you finally decided. I am confused too. I thought about windows for a long time but I love customizing, i love gestures (without finding things), buying a windows phone will be a challenge to me( no mkv playback, android apps I have bought). I don't play games but I use resource hungry apps. Damned :O, ASUS improved their specs and made the worst camera, I'm even thinking about the old ZF6

Almost equal in size to the Zenfone 2(if u were fine with that size).

Anyways congrats!

Congrats.
I think I will go for 640 XL dual SIM, good battery, and big screen (what I wanted).

What's the local price of these sets? Also, any magnetic flip cover (like Ncase) without card holders, available anywhere?
Just for thought, is there NFC tags available in India?

For Windows users, are there any alternative to Runastic Apps (Pushup, squat etc), iMuscle, jetAudio (for better equalizers), MX Player (for playing mkv and whatever video formats)and "Splashtop Streamer" available for windows users? Is the old Mobile Sync for Windows is there or something new has come?p)

Actually apart from the screen size&battery both of them having exact specs. As I am trying windows for the first time Lumia 640 will be better for me.

640XL don't have better battery than 640. Actually 640XL has 5.7 inch screen so in that respect 3000mah battery is decent. But in XL 13mp cam is awesome
