Looking for a cheapish phone for travelling, needs to cover the common North American, APAC and EU WCDMA and LTE bands so the Lumia 640 XL LTE Dual SIM seems to fit my needs even with the terrible screen PPI. I have no issues with Windows Phone as I use a 635 as a backup phone.
Microsoft has decided not to sell a UK variant so looking at importing one.
There seems to be two versions, the RM-1065 which is sold in some parts of the EU and RM-1096 which is sold in APAC and LTA regions.
As far as I can tell the RM-1096 seems to have TDD band 41 enabled over the RM-1065 which could be important as some of the places I will be visiting seem to have deployed band 41 but in what capacity I do not know.
So is access to a single band on the non-EU version worth the 2 year EU warranty trade off, and just how wide spread is TDD band 41 deployment?
