Sprint gets its first Lumia and it's free

The Nokia Lumia 635 is now available on Sprint for $0 with a two-year service agreement.

Out of the major US carriers, Sprint has been noticeably absent from Lumia launches, and it was believed that the Lumia 735 would be the first smartphone to launch on the network in the first half of 2015.

However, the Lumia US account has now revealed the availability of the entry level Nokia Lumia 635 on Sprint. According to the carrier's website, the device can be availed for free with a two-year contract or a full retail price of $168.

And now, please welcome the #Lumia 635 to the @Sprint family! #TeamLumia https://t.co/sVv7HdMiXe pic.twitter.com/jHXiof2ZDU

The Lumia 635 which was announced last April by Nokia, is an inexpensive 4G LTE smartphone which features a 4.5" WVGA screen, a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 512 MB of RAM, 5 megapixel rear camera and 8 GB of internal storage.

Sprint hasn't been the best of networks to get the latest and greatest Windows Phones, but the Lumia 635 is a decent device for those who want to try out the platform but can't move to other carriers.
