When are new Windows phones coming?

Verizon also has a history of waiting for "the next one", like with the Lumia Cyan update for the Icon. Rather than inform users, Verizon chose to simply skip it and wait for Denim. Oy!

And for VZW to release the 735 now is ridiculous. It's not even a Windows flagship phone.

Well, VZW would do well to take notice that Windows 10 will change a lot of things going forward.

I can tell you now, I love my Icon, but if they don't release a flagship on par or better than the Icon at the same time as other carriers, They will loose 2 lines right away. I won't wait.

Either they get their s___ together and quit being pathetic or I jump ship.

It's a numbers game. Here in North America the market share of WP is almost as small as BlackBerry. Verizon just doesn't see the profit in supporting new WP devices for so few customers. If Windows gets its act together and grows their market share, maybe Verizon will take notice. But it's really up to Microsoft now. They have to make a compelling flagship phone, and they have to get enough people to care about it to get relevant again.

I too am waiting for Win 10.

Currently have 2 HTC 8x. One has speaker phone problems, can't be heard by the other, but all is well for one phone and everything else on the one with speaker phone problem.

So I cross my finger and wait, in the meantime enjoying the lower pricing as no longer on contract.

I believe that if VZW sold a least one Windows phone, and that phone was a Windows flagship phone, that would change.

The Lumia 928 was a flagship device when Verizon sold it (had one).

Everything else was mid-range IMHO. If not in specs, then in real world usage.

Looks like this coming Thursday, Verizon will add Lumia 735.

Ugh, the "selfie phone." It's midrange at best. Still, if it comes out on Verizon I may ditch my BlackBerry backup phone and get one of these in orange. Between my iPhone 6 and the Lumia 735, no question I'm carrying the iPhone for day-to-day use. But as a backup/change of pace phone, the 735 might be interesting.

And a 6.7 MP main camera is a little low-end. Zeiss optics, but it's still not a PureView camera.
