How many customers are you expecting to loose for not supporting the Microsoft Lumia 950, Microsoft Lumia 950 XL?
I'm actually interested to know how many other users, like me, are moving to AT&T over this issue.

If the next generation of Windows Mobile phones...believed to be the first phones wholly designed by Microsoft and possibly carry the Surface label ...are supported by Verizon Wireless...I'll wait.
The phones won't have to be available inside VZW stores. I'm more than happy to go to a Microsoft Store or Best Buy to kick the tires and pick up an unlocked example to take to VZW for activation.
I have been a long time Verizon customer and now with this latest block of the new Lumia and the high prices they have been charging it is time for a switch. Why does Verizon have to be haters?
Verizon isn't blocking the new Luminas... MS didn't put the hardware for it and Verizon can't block devices off their network. Read up on Block C open access rules.
Actually the hardware is inside the phone. MS disabled functionality as part of ongoing negotiations with Verizon.
There doesn't need to be negotiation unless MS wants Verizon to fit the bill for licensing for CDMA and FCC licensing cost. If that is indeed the case then Verizon isn't violating block C rules. If MS really wanted to stick it to Verizon not having it available on Verizon isn't going to do a think. Making to work and forcing them to accept it will.
I'll be moving to AT&T as soon as the 950s are released on their network. Turns out we'll actually save money, so it's a no brainer. This is after 20+ yrs with Verizon or one of it's predecessors. I'm tired of feeling like a second class citizen when I go into a Verizon store, or even a Best Buy store for that matter.
It's ready to order on the AT&T Website.
Boo Vzw !
Microsoft didn't enable CDMA functionality, submit the phones for CDMA certification or pay licensing fees to Qualcomm. These phones were never intended to be used with Verizon Wireless, Sprint or their respective resellers.
Already looking into AT&T plans if Verizon does not carry new Microsoft devices. Been with Verizon since 1997 but I will go elsewhere to use the device I want.
I am planning on moving to AT&T before the end of the year if the Lumia 950/950XL will not be offered in the Verizon store and/or compatible with the Verizon Network. I am so tire of having iOS shoved down my throat every time I walk into my local Verizon store.
MS already said it will not be...
Also FCC filings show no CDMA support as well as other spectrum/hardware support needed to work on Verizon.

Aaahhhh..... the bots have posted yet again. I would have thought they could spell better though.
"what draws" us to this particular model? Just look at the specs.
I have been a customer of Verizon since 1995, if the Lumia 950 is not available on Verizon I will definitely go to ATT. I have had iphones and android phones. Then I thought outside the box, and tried a windows phone, I will only own a windows phone. My family has tried my windows phone and will all be switching to windows phones from iPhone and android.
Verizon, look at your stock price, not gaining as many customers as you thought! You will be playing catchup soon!!
