Microsoft unveiled the new Lumia 640 and 640 XL last month, and the company is now getting ready to make it available in more countries across the globe, with the United States now believed to be on the list of markets to sell the device starting May.

Microsoft’s official website today revealed that the Lumia 640 would be available in the United States via T-Mobile for only $89 (75 Euro), but no other details as to when the launch could take place were actually provided.

The page, which has since been removed, revealed the price with a contract, WindowsCentral reports, which makes the Lumia 640 quite an affordable buy for those who want to purchase a Windows Phone handset.

For starters, the Lumia 640 comes with a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels and Gorilla Glass 3 coating, a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage with microSD card support, 8-megapixel rear camera and a 0.9-megapixel front unit, NFC, 4G, and a 2500 mAh battery.

Needless to say, the phone is shipped with Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2, but it will be fully upgradeable to Windows 10 when the new operating system becomes available.

Here are the full Microsoft Lumia 640 specifications:
