I know that there was a sighting of was is believed to be a prototype phone. The interview left me with the feeling that the Surface Phone is still a ways away.

They are probably waiting for Apple next announcement for the new iPhone. Somewhat like what Motorola did with the their Droid phone.

This is a silly rumor started by a couple of honked off fanboys because they're in a snit about the Lumia 950. They can't get it on Verizon BECAUSE OF MICROSOFT'S DECISION TO BLOCK THE CDMA BANDS so they're lashing out. At the completely wrong company! If you want to be mad, blame the company that is really responsible - Microsoft.

Microsoft didn't block them.  The just didn't add them.  Just like Samsung doesn't add them to the active versions they make for ATT and most of the international and Asian phones dont add them.  The majority of carriers in the world are GSM.

As I said in here: 

"Its not Verizon, I think its just Microsoft does not like CDMA.  Any phone that has CDMA, Verizon will get it but, you will also get the witch(Sprint), begging on their nee to also, get the phone.  Its a fact that no company wants to give their best phone, to the witch, that is why they try their best to steer clear of CDMA.  We all know why, they will try too keep the phones to themselves, I think it in their witchcraft rules. 

Technically the thing is Microsoft does not want to give the witch a good phone I think, so that is why they are steering clear of CDMA all together.  You may ask what about the Icon or the 928 back then?  Well when the 928 was being created, SprintNextel (Sprint back then) was using iDEN, it was only after a few months when the 928 was being sold did Sprint switch to CDMA. 

I think Verizon got the message and is trying to steer clear of the witch, by 2021.  The witch still has no plans of turning into a LTE network only.  "

Expecting the 750 to be announced by MSFT in February, will be interesting to see if it becomes available on VZW. In the meantime, 735 with Win 10 via Windows insider is fine for me for now.

Wonder when 735 on VZW will get Win 10 regular update?
