So we all have a difficult choice - do we get a 950 or a 950XL or wait a bit longer? What are you planning to do? Sound off below!

I'd get the unlocked 950 in a heartbeat if it supported Verizon bands.. Look.. Look.. Look up in the sky! It's a flock of birds.. No a squadron of planes.. No its raining corncobs! Stuck on my icon.. Sigh..

Went to check out the XL at my local MSFT store and was amazed how good it felt in hand for size. Preordered a black one for $0 down.

Will head to local MS store this weekend. Want to hold both before I make up my mind but am definitely leaning toward 950.

It all depends on whether the unlocked version supports all of the necessary Verizon frequencies. I'm torn between the 950 and the Nexus 5X at this point.

Most likely. I've been on my Lumina 810 for 3 years now. I finally cracked the camera lens on my last road trip on my motorcycle when it fell out of my tank bag while riding through a parking lot.

Man the 810 is one tough phone. Going 5 mph, I got caught up in the earphone cord and yanked the phone out of a side pocket. Watched the phone bounce around in my rear view mirror. Went back expecting the screen to be shattered. Nope, all good and functional. Only later after taking pictures I kept noticing a weird lens flare on a bunch of my photos. Looking closely at the protective glass over the camera I noticed the crack.

So, yea. I'm due for a new phone. I will GLADLY pay upfront for the unlocked/unbranded version just so I can get timely firmware and O/S updates. No more waiting for the carrier to "approve" anything (screw you T-Mobile!!!)

As for which phone, 950 or the 950XL, I will most likely go with the 950. I'm really not that impressed with phablets, even though I have large hands. But I might change my mind when I go and check them out physically.

You can also pre-order the 950 at the MS Store!! They have the SKU's for it. I have a picture of the exact SKU for the 950 which Jamie (the rep) scanned but was asked not to post it. So being a WP sucker, I pre-ordered a 950 along with a 950XL last night at the MSFT store in Woodland Hills, CA. She said I can change my mind and decide to just buy one from the two devices but at least now I had the option of locking both of them in:)

Would love to get the 950 in white, but will have to wait until my Next plan is eligible or when the wife says I can upgrade. Which ever comes first. Lol. But so far my 830 has done well. I guess I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't have any issues with the phone.

The L830 is a surprisingly amazing device being mid-range. I used one to replace my L1520 after the screen shattered to a billion pieces. (Just recently got it fixed though).

Personally I'm getting the 950xl. haven't seen them in person yet but i'm already sold. My L1520 is a great device but the in-call-mic is currently unresponsive, capacitive buttons don't light up and my loud-speaker occasionally stops working or muffles (a light love-tap gets it working again).

Unfortunately I'd have to wait till December for mine. I converted my roomy to a Windows user. He's interested too---hopefully he gets the 950 instead of the XL so I can be different =p
