The Lumia 650 is Microsoft's next Windows 10 Mobile handset, which doesn't seem to please Windows Phone fans who were expecting at least a mid-range smartphone that would support Continuum for Phones.

Since the Lumia 650 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 210 or 212 processor, one of the most appealing features included in Windows 10 Mobile, Continuum for Phone will not be supported.

Nevertheless, those who haven't yet purchased a budget-friendly Windows Phone handset and want to try out Windows 10 Mobile will be pleased to know that Lumia 650 will be available at most European carriers.

A partial list of all the European carriers that will offer Microsoft's Lumia 650 has been leaked online by @tfwboredom and spotted by the folks over at WMPU.

The list contains a few dozens of carriers that are going to sell the Windows 10 Mobile smartphone soon after Microsoft makes it official.

Here are some of the names included on the list: 3 UK, Cosmote Greece, EE UK, O2 UK, Orange France, Orange Romania, T-Mobile Austria, T-Mobile Germany, Telecom Italia, Vodafone Germany, Vodafone Romania, and Wind Italy.

The list is much longer, so make sure you check out the picture attached to this article if you want to know whether or not you carrier will offer the Lumia 650. Keep in mind, though, that this is only a partial list, so other carriers might sell the smartphone as well.

Cricket Wireless will offer the smartphone in the US

It's also worth mentioning that Microsoft Lumia 650 will be available in the United States via Cricket Wireless.

The Lumia 650 won't be cheaper than the low-end Lumia 550, which is now valued at around €100. In fact, customers will have to pay more than double the amount if they want Microsoft's, newest Windows 10 Mobile handset since Lumia 650 will cost around €220-€230 outright.

Unfortunately, it won't feature too many upgrades over the Lumia 550, so most Windows Phone fans will probably skip this one for a slightly better mid-range smartphone that might come from Microsoft in the next months.
