950 + 950XL No Canadian carrier ....Oh it just gets better all the time.

[Greywolf1967]

So any in Canada who are still interested in the phone. had better hope they will be Unlocked in the Microsoft Store.

No Pen and Cover ( dropped support), now no official carrier in Canada.

Months and months of "just wait, just wait for W10 it will get better" ...well so much for the waiting.

*EDIT* oops forgot the link.......

How few phones were they selling in Canada that this makes sense?

What's problem? Buy it unlocked from store. Or anywhere. Buying it on contract will just make you spend more in the end.

I think... people were more concerned with spending more in the beginning.

exactly when you already paying 80 a mouth for a 10 Gig data plan it's crazy to pay 849 CAD when a carrier will give it to you for 200 at the end i m paying less

Your insane if you think a $849 device only costs $200. It's just $200 upfront, you still end up paying $849. So now you see your $80 isn't for 10GB, it's for 10GB AND your other $649 spread out. So basically you can't afford the device full stop. Carriers are old Dinosaurs kept going by customers who have no business buying Flagships. Microsoft know this (so do Apple now, Europe & Asia). At least Microsoft offer cheaper unlocked phones unlike Apple. Don't go in to debt for a phone brah.

I have never had an issue with putting the money up front to get what I want.
I spent about that much when I got my 1020 + Camera Grip + Smoke Case all in 1 go.

However this time I don't see the value of setting that much cash down when I know what didn't make it to the phone. No Pen ( which I would have paid for) + no peek-a-boo cover. Add in there is no Smart Watch for Windows Phone or a watch that supports us, and this has really become a nightmare for me. ( Do Not even think to suggest The Band 2 as a Smart Watch.....when it can do a Watch Face maybe then)

To be honest I don't see a problem of having no smart cover when glance sort of does the same thing.
Get a flip cover. Open it and glance tells you everything you need to know. Close it and be done with it.
Takes like a few extra seconds. And in my opinion... a fully covered front cover looks better than one with a window for the screen.
