Lumia 650 US release?

[Windows Central Question]

Does anyone know when/if the Microsoft store in the US will sell the Lumia 650 unlocked, or is AT&T going to carry it? I heard Cricket wireless is.

Hopefully MS will also sell it unlocked too. I'm thinking in the next few months, probably but hopefully before summer.

It says "coming soon" on the U.S. MS website, whatever that means.

Pre-orders for an April 1 ship date are now being accepted at the MS Store:

I hope comes in an unlocked single sim version. Liked the durability of my 929, which also has a metal shell.

Interesting that you can't pick black or white. Will wait to see what Cricket offers, though I am leaning toward the black version anyway.

Why does MS not list the LTE bands?
Will it support ATT LTE? Band 17, 5, 2, 4?

Talked today to a Microsoft Store employee about this, and my answer was exactly what I expected to hear: well it looks like this 850 MHz and 1900 MHz line up so it'll connect. Check with your wireless network to see if it'll connect."

I know it'll connect.... just not in the way I need. Really hope it gets amended. It is important to note for hope's sake that on the MS store page itself it does not list the individual LTE bands yet for some reason. That's only on the MS.com specs page.

 

[RumoredNow]

For whatever reason... All I can find is "World" spec (read Euro-tuned radio).

I'd bet that 650 NA mimics 550 NA radio.

I hope it has the LTE bands for ATT. I'm using the UK version now and I love it. Waiting to sell it when the US one comes along.
