Windows 10 Mobile is making its official debut this week, and the first smartphone to come with the new operating system is Microsoft's Lumia 950. In the US, the flagship is offered directly by the software giant through its online and brick and mortar stores, but it is also carried by its longterm partner, AT&T.
If you want to get your Lumia 950 from a US carrier, AT&T is actually your one and only option, at least for the foreseeable future. The carrier is taking orders now, offering the device with a two year agreement, monthly plans and, of course, unlocked.
AT&T says that Lumia 950 will ship between November 20 and November 25, which gives you a better chance of getting it sooner than if you were to place an order with Microsoft. The software giant's online store lists Lumia 950 as shipping by November 25.
At AT&T, prices for Lumia 950 start at $19.97 per month for a 30-month installment plan. Those who wish and can opt for a two year contract will have to shell out $149.99. The smartphone can be had in a black or white trim.
Off contract, and unlocked, Lumia 950 costs $598.99 at AT&T. As with the other aforementioned prices, it is significantly cheaper than an equivalent iPhone 6s or Galaxy S6 purchased from the same carrier (better deals may be found elsewhere though).
There is no word yet from AT&T when and if it will also carry Lumia 950's bigger brother, Lumia 950 XL. Microsoft, however, has the phablet in its portfolio, listing it at $649 for the unlocked model. It is said to ship by December 11.
