Sprint to begin offering their first Lumia smartphone Three years after every other carrier started carrying Lumia Windows Phone devices, Sprint finally has their first one.
The company has picked up the budget Lumia 635, which had been available for their prepaid Boost and Virgin Mobile brands for some time.

Microsoft's device features a 4.5-inch screen with 480x854 resolution and Gorilla Glass 3, Windows Phone 8.1, a quad-core Snapdragon 400 clocked at 1.2GHz, an Adreno 305 GPU, 8GB internal storage (expandable to 128GB) and 512MB RAM.

The device is cheap, as well, with Sprint selling it for $170 upfront or financed for $7 per month for 24 months.
