The only windows phone with HD Voice that Verizon seems to like...
Comes with Windows Phone 8.1, but easily upgrades to Windows 10 Mobile. You're either a Windows Phone/Mobile fan or not; people don't seem to be neutral about this. I'm a Windows 10 Mobile fan and I live in a cell phone desert; less than two bars on a good day, even with a $300 Wilson cell amplifier! This phone is WIFI calling capable, allowing me to place cell calls through my broadband router, where this was impossible before. Yes, there are capable android phones, but I prefer the Windows interface and carried a Samsung ATIV SE Windows Phone for two years, plus the price was right. If you take your micro SIM to a Verizon manufacturer store, you can swap it for a "nano" SIM to fit the 735; a "Verizon Retailer" will charge you $20 for the same thing. The really good news is the relatively long battery life, despite the smaller battery; no doubt WIFI calling plays a part in this, since the phone isn't "searching" for a cell signal constantly. This battery outlasts the larger battery in my Samsung ATIV SE. Go figure. The 735 is fast and capable, even if it doesn't have all the gee whiz features of the current generation android gadgets at ten times the price. It does everything I need it to do, except make coffee. I'm sure Apple is working on a phone that does... for just pennies a day. Go for it.
