T-Mobile US to launch the Microsoft Lumia 640 on June 17

T-Mobile (US) is gearing up to launch the Microsoft Lumia 640 finally for Midweek, June 17. The information comes from ii sources, including a representative of the company and a more than conclusive internal document listing the launch date.

The bad news here is it looks like T-Mobile retails stores will not be stocking the phones on their shelves. Instead, the Lumia 640 is listed equally a 'Transport to (directly fulfillment)' organisation. That means T-Mobile will gild it for you online or via telesales, and then either ship it directly to you lot or your local store. Third-party retailers, however, similar All-time Buy or Walmart, may accept them in their outlets.

For those in the United States getting their hands on the well-reviewed Lumia 640 or Lumia 640 Forty has been a very long wait. Both devices were announced at Mobile World Congress dorsum in early March, merely since and so the The states rollout has been ho-hum. So far, only Cricket is offering one of the devices – the Lumia 640 – for those in the States.

T-Mobile'due south "coming soon" imprint for the Lumia 640 has been on their website for what seems like ages. Supposed release dates have positioned the device as late as July. Conversely, that date later proved to be false. Device placeholders were also spotted at Walmart, and even Microsoft spilled the supposed toll.

Potential delays of the Lumia 640 in T-Mobile likely include network testing and their coveted Wi-Fi calling feature, which has been known to tiresome down or even delay releases.

The Lumia 640 launches with Update 2 and will likely have the most recent Os update. Version 15148 enables Hd Voice (VoLTE) and native Wi-Fi calling for the Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL, and it came out last week.
