    Pictures + Videos Taken With My Lumia 950 XL

    Here is a picture I took of a coworker to test out the camera. I did edit it slightly to bump up saturation and sharpness just a tad. I figured it's fair game to post, since I edited it with Lumia Creative Studio on the phone itself. I'm very happy with this camera.

    Check those emails, 950 XL pre-orders shipping!

    Someone suggested in another thread to enter your tracking number into bing and see what it says. Apparently, it's better at giving an estimate than the UPS website? When I do that, it says expected delivery TOMORROW 3pm CT... which is usually around when the UPS guy shows up :)

    I selected the expedited shipping and ordered within an hour of preorders first being available on the MS store.... and mine still says "in progress" :(

    MS cancelled my order

    One of the reasons I got rid of Chase was because of their frequent denying of my purchases. I can't even count the number of times I had to call into their fraud department. Hell, they even declined one of my transactions at WAL-MART of all places, within 5 minutes of my residence.

    950XL Waiting Room

    Do you have a Microsoft Store near you? You might be able to snag one the day they're in stores, if you're lucky. At this point, that may be a quicker route than what a reorder will do for you.

    950XL Waiting Room

    My card was charged today. I don't remember what it was called, but I did select the fastest available shipping option when I preordered.

    950XL Waiting Room

    I just got the charge for the full price of the phone on my card a few minutes ago. I preordered the day they became available on the MS website. I can only assume that means it's going to ship today or tomorrow?

    Do you think there will be a new Lumia Phablet soon?

    They're still going to use the Nokia brand for the phones. It will still be Nokia Lumia 1xxx, not Microsoft Mobile 1xxx or Microsoft Mobile Lumia 1***.

    6th defective device [story over, wont try 7th time sorry nokia]

    Re: 5th defective device I guess it's technically possible... but I've owned 4 Lumia 1520s and none of them had the issues you had. (if you're wondering why i've owned 4 it's because I bounced back and forth between the 1020 and the 1520 before deciding on the 1520. I'm an ***** for switching...

    Windows Phone 8.1-update or not?

    I did the upgrade and have no regrets. No real bugs to speak of that I've noticed...and even if there were, the extra features would be worth the trade off.
