Microsoft Lumia 735 now available to buy in Verizon Wireless stores
The Lumia 735 was added to Verizon Wireless’s line up last month, but was only available to purchase online. Today, that changes and you can now pick up the smartphone from any of Big Red’s brick and mortar stores.
If you’ve had your eye on the phone for a while, there are some incentives being offered to help push you into making the move.
From now until July 31, customers who buy and activate the Lumia 735 from Verizon will receive one year of Office 365 Personal (while supplies last, of course). This offer also comes with 1 TB of free OneDrive storage, which is handy.
The Lumia 735 runs Windows Phone 8.1 (and can be upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile once the new OS is released) and its specs include a 4.7-inch HD OLED display, 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 2220 mAh battery, and 16 GB of onboard memory. This can be expanded by another 128 GB via microSD card. There’s a front-facing, wide-angle 5-megapixel full HD camera for selfies and a 6.7 megapixel auto-focus, rear-facing camera with ZEISS optics. The phone also offers wireless charging.
The Lumia 735 will set you back $29.99 on a two-year contract or $8 a month for 24 months with 0 percent APR on Verizon Edge. This is for the dark gray version. If you prefer the orange, green, white, red, or cyan casings you’ll need to add $24.99 to the price.
If you bring your phone number to Verizon, you’ll get a $100 bill credit for each new smartphone activated on Verizon Edge.
The Lumia 735 is also available in the Microsoft Store for $199 with no contract.
