A wonderful unexpected experience

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016

I just love the Windows 10 operating system. I have access to all the applications on Windows 10 store (more than 700K applications) The battery of this cell phone last longer than any other Lumia I have had. The operating system gets updated often and gets better and better.

I love the Microsoft Health application keeping track on my daily goals for steps and calories consumption despite I do not have the Microsoft Band, and I have free Health Dashboard on the following Web address [...]

Applications have great performance on this cell phone.

I can navigate the Internet faster with Microsoft Edge compared to Internet Explorer.

The cell phone has great speakers. They provide a beautiful sound.

The camera is not great but provide clear photos and the camera menu provides advanced functions. Outdoor photos are great.

Battery stands for a whole day despite heavy usage.

The "Movies & TV" application allows me to access all my videos on the cell phone in a beautiful way and plays all of them.

I like the Windows format

I like the Windows format. My previous phone was the 640, which I prefer. The 550 is slower and has a downgraded forward camera. Not much difference between Windows 8.1 and 10. Still a great value for a lower priced Smartphone.

Bought for Groove Player

I wanted a Groove player, but since there isn't one, I thought that this international phone might fill the bill. It is perfect. I use it with my Microsoft Groove account, both with and without WiFi. Since I haven't tried it with a SIM card, I can't address how well it works with AT&T or T-Mobile, though I suspect that it would work fine.

This phone seems to be as well built and as functional as my Microsoft Lumia 950 Windows Smartphone, which I love.

Good phone, just not for the United States.

First let me say that this phone was everything it says it is and works fine. The issue I have is that I did not do enough research on the phone first. The item does clearly say that this is the "International" version. Sadly I did not realize that the 4G Lte bands they use in Europe are different than the ones here in the states. As such, this phone will not do 4G Lte on T-Mobile (and where I live, we do not have 3G so the phone is basically a 2G phone for me). Again, this is not the fault of the seller or the item. The page clearly states that it is the international version and even lists the 4G bands it supports. All I can say is that if you are looking to use this phone in the US, be careful and make sure your carrier uses the bands this phone supports.

Not for T-Mobile LTE!

It only works under 2G. I tried everything and no luck. Nice phone. Too bad that Microsoft cannot make phones that run properly. It is very slow when I turn off WIFI. Returning.

Buying frustration

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2018

Worst Nokia/Microsoft phone ever and I've been using Nokia/Microsoft for well over 20 years. Battery is totally unreliable; shuts phone down randomly and you cannot find a replacement battery anywhere in the U.S. Efforts to figure out what causes this problem have proven fruitless. Technical support for this phone is the worst; technicians themselves can't tell you what causes the problem. When you contact them, they'll throw anything and everything against a wall but nothing sticks. Buy anything but this model.

Stick to an Android

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017

I got this phone to replace an older version. It was great up until the last month or so. It's only been 7 months since I got it and it is already wearing down - restarts in the middle of phone calls; the screen goes black for no reason and he battery needs to be taken out; display of the app store doesn't work; and more.
I've only had microsoft products over the past few years, but I wouldn't recommend buying this phone at all. Like I said, it's only been 7 months and I'm already looking for a new phone.
