Please let Corporate know that the lack of the new Windows phone this Fall, 950 or 950XL, will signal to me that you are not interested in having the Windows phone user as one of your customers. I expect Verizon Wireless to sale and support the new Windows phone just like you do will all of your Android phone that you love to push in your stores.
If at some time Microsoft decides to stop sell the phone, at that time I'll change to something else. But for now, I will not have Wireless carrier force me to a particular phone. Yes, that decision will send me elsewhere for good.
I hope the Verizon corporation reconsiders their decision on a lack of Windows Phone support.
In the same boat. We have 10 lines that we use with our family. All 10 lines will be moved if no Microsoft 950's. Really tired of the device discrimination.
Verizon is a joke when it comes to customer service. They are right up there with Comcast. They 'know' what you need and discriminate against you if your phone requirements do not fall in line with iPhone or Android.
Liberate.
Don't really think they will reconsider that decision due to the lack of general interest in Windows phones. I am an Android man myself, so I haven't really kept up with the Windows side of things, but Microsoft may not even be making devices that are compatible with Verizon's network.
I just remember having a few windows devices back in the day, and they sucked. Switched to palm, then blackberry, android, a brief love affair with apple, back to android and haven't looked back since. I can't see how Microsoft could even be relevant these days. Heck, blackberry stands a better chance.
Lol, you really don't understand that Windows Phone is a better OS than android even with less apps.(that's actually changing). I don't know if you have paid attention to the post and referenced articles in the 3 threads referring to the 950, if Microsoft really makes a PC phone, it is a game changer. Even now with continuum and the Windows 10 Echo system there is great hope. MS would just have to market better.

Everyone has their own opinions. I don't even use my android or apple app stores unless there's an app I need so I don't really care about whether the windows store has a lot of apps or not. I personally however think windows phones suck. But that's my opinion. If people are that much wrapped up into Windows that they need this phone, they should go to the carrier that provides it. I just don't see why all the complaining and moaning is here. You have to do what's best for you at the end of the day. As far as me, my Galaxy Note 4 and my ipad mini are just fine.
And another thing, if blackberry got their act together and offered a device that was on par with androidand apple with a better browser I'd be on it in a heartbeat, or even if palm came back from the dead. I loved my 755p, my pearl, curve, storm 1 and storm 2.
Yea, same here. I want a 950XL, finally a flagship phone... Verizon get this phone NOW.
I still have my Unlimited data on my plan, if you boost my price to $50, I will be trying another carrier. I guess I might be able to get this phone after all, as Verizon has shown they don't care about anything else than iOS and Android.
Then I guess you'll be leaving.
Don't get me wrong I'd run to to my Microsoft store and purchase a 950XL if it works on VZW network come November. The issue is I'm not ready to jump ship in carriers; in using an iPhone 6s from a friend on AT&T; coverage in my area is spotty and unreliable. I'm not about to just ship for a great phone for lousy service in trade-off.
I personally am waiting to see what Panos Panay comes up with in regards to a Surface Phone. They were able to keep the Surface Book a secret and I'm guessing they are doing the same with the Surface Phone. I just hope it comes out early next year.
In the mean time I just hope Microsoft will release Windows 10 Mobile (final) for the Icon. The last I heard it's currently not listed as an eligible device as-per Microsoft, even though it does get builds via the Insider Preview program.
Sadly, it doesn't look like the phones will work on VZW's network. Wrong radio and VoLTE bands.
