I started this thread on Oct 5 = 43 days ago and interestingly enough - as best I know - we have STILL not heard any "official word from eithers Microsoft nor Verizon? We heard that "Paul Thurrott HEARD for some trusted Microsoft sources" blah, blah, blah! We have seen all kinds off technical theories about VoLTE, etc. but WHY does the 950 list Band 13 and NOT CDMA ... yet, there is NO Band 13 for the 950XL?
I don't know why you're saying this.
Microsoft unambiguously stands by the spec sheet. The phone does not support Verizon's 2G or 3G networks, and the fault for this lies entirely with Microsoft; amid the turmoil of Windows 10, firing most of Nokia, and incorporating the rest, they elected not to finish CDMA/EVDO support.
