lumia 950 Firmware update

I can't say I have ever heard of a firmware update ever breaking anyone's network, so what is the BFD? It is already running on the network through factory unlocked devices so what is the excuse? Sometimes I think being an informed consumer is more of a curse than a blessing. Carriers do as carriers want laughing all the way to the bank.

That's the problem with having a phone with their logo on it. I'm sure they feel like they are doing everyone a favor. But you're correct, no matter the brand of phone there are phones operating on their network without issues with higher revs firmware. But it's been this way since the beginning and many of us knew about the "problems" when we purchased our phones. The bigger problem still is that for some devices we are stuck to buying the branded version because the unbranded version is typically an international version; we wouldn't get LTE service here in the US with those versions. One day International versions will support all bands avaialble at the time of manufacture.

And those worried about how many releases of firmware... there is still only one release of firmware here in the US. So you AT&T owners of the 950 are only 1-rev behind and that rev was released ~2-months ago. So far AT&T is not beating my estimate on when they'd release it.

There are always exceptions; I've been shopping Android phones this week and most deals I came across for major model non-branded phones were International; and they did not support LTE bands here. Unfortunately it is still very common righ.

depends on what your looking for for the most part.  I have a z5 premium that I got today that im playing with works like a top.  I think the 4k screen is nice but not needed in a cell phone.  I picked it up off of swappa.com.

I picked up a brand new full warranty HTC One M9 for $299 at BestBuy,

Dependability of the device is in question because of the lack of fixes. We bought these devices expecting dependability. I suggest calling AT&T for a replacement device. Once the replacement device fails, and we know it will until the firmware updates are released, request another. This seems to me to be the only leverage we have.

They get enough replaced devices for a certain issue and they see the issue has been addressed by firmware, maybe that will force their hand... who knows. But it cannot hurt.

The question is, will there be another firmware update OR two of the firmware before the release by AT&T. Honestly, AT&T has less hooks into these devices than they do their Android Devices There is little excusse for them on the "testing" front.

Are any of you on AT&T version of Lumia 950 getting Windows 10 Mobile 10586.107 whih Microsoft released as the February Cumlative Update? This woud not include any firmware, just oeprating system.
