So, while the $799 HP Elite x3 may be a bit too expensive for die-hard Windows Phone fans as of today, we’re happy to report that the unlocked version of the Alcatel Idol 4S is now available to purchase on the US Microsoft Store.

Over the last couple of weeks, almost all Lumia handsets sold out on the US Microsoft Store, which even led Microsoft to remove the listings for the Lumia 650 and 735 last week.
