Not yet. But why would MS include Qi charging on a ATT only device...

 

[xandros9]

because they also sell it all over the world and its a nice feature?

AT&T already relented somewhat as their branded 830 includes both Qi and PMA.

No, how many different times has this question been asked...then answered. Verison is NOT getting the new phones. They do not WANT the phones. They are blocking people who buy unlocked and try to activate on their service. I guess apple plowed them pretty good if you get my drift.

Verison is NOT getting the new phones. They do not WANT the phones.

Nonsense. They just thought they could get them on the same horrible (for MS and customers) terms as the previous Windows Phones. They make money on the phones they sell. So unless you think that the 950s would just cannibalize their iPhone sales, Verizon definitely wants the phones. On the flip side, there definitely are people who will be leaving Verizon over this which costs them a steady stream of service income. Verizon just couldn't get the terms they wanted. Negotiations are sometimes like a game of chicken. Neither flinched this time.

I was reported here, that verison is NOT even accepting a 950/xl as an unlocked device to their network if someone has one and wants to connect using their verison plan. The phone supposedly has the radios needed. Verison is choosing not to give its customers service even if the phone is purchased unlocked, used etc. Therefore its verison being a bunch of You know whats.

The RM-1116 (950XL dual-sim) is not certified by the FCC for operations on CDMA or LTE Band 13 per documentation posted today on the fcc.gov site, so I'd say it was a fair bet that Verizon won't be carrying that one.

If you can't tell from the # of phones that VZ has on the shelf... they don't really "want" this market. It's time to go where you are wanted and businesses actually work for your money. VZ isn't building out anymore they are done with LTE. XLLTE will continue but for the most part they are collecting the check and snickering if you aren't happy. Time to GO!
