You’re right –

Actually, you’re wrong. AT&T won’t carry the Lumia 640 at all. They got the phablet and that’s what they’re going to solely sell.

They have. It’s up to the carriers if they want to carry a device on their network. Both 640 & 640XL were pitched to T-Mo & AT&T, AT&T was the only one to pick up both. For a while, it was thought T-Mo was going to carry the XL as well.

With Windows 10, I think all carriers will be offered the flagships and hopefully all of them will choose to carry.

AT&T doesn’t have the “rights” to the XL. It was offered to both carriers, T-Mo decided not to bite. The Microsoft store will likely sell a contract version and an unlocked version, just as it does with the Lumia 830. But the pricing will be wonky.

This is wrong. Lumia 640 will be prepaid on AT&T and will come after the 640 XL launch.

That’s Cricket. I’m talking about Big Orange themselves.

AT&T already sells the Lumia 640 through their Cricket subsidiary.

we sold the 521 at $149 for months while it was $79 on microsofts website. cricket is a much better point of reference for pricing than microsofts website and god knows what the heck walmart is doing.
