Will Verizon support the newer phones?

[Ralph Simoni]

Is Verizon going to support new window devices like the 950?

not the 950 and 950 XL.

maybe another phone.

Using Verizon and support in the same sentence should be against the law.

I'm hoping vz comes out with something. Right now I'm using the 735 which I like but am definitely wanting more.

I think the real question should be, will Microsoft support Verizon (CDMA) with their newer phones? So far, the answer is a big fat NO.

Verizon only cares about three types of phones:

1- Anything branded "Droid" by Motorola.
2- Anything that says iPhone.
3- Anybody with a phone that is just out of contract and they can sucker into buying a Droid or iPhone on the Edge plan.

VZ and Google are practically married. I don't think VZ likes Apple at all but it makes $$ so they roll with it.

Verizon CAN'T support the Lumia 950 because Microsoft refused to get CDMA certification. Verizon would love to carry the 950 and 950XL. They already carry three other WP devices. But Microsoft only put the 950 out as a placeholder until the Surface Phone is released.

I was in my local Verizon store recently and was told they would support any phone capable of running on their system. In fact, they are legally required to. Sadly, due to idiotic marketing decisions by Microsoft, choices are so limited as to be non-existent.

I get the feeling the store said that assuming only Verizon branded, whitelisted and approved phones are classified as "capable."
