What do you mean no competition?
950 XL has bigger and removable wireless charging battery then both of them. "3300 mAh"
950 XL has more Mega Pixel camera then both of them. "20MP" + "5MP"
950 XL has more RAM than iPhone 6s plus. "3GB"
950 XL has 128GB microSDXC storage support! Both iPhone 6s plus and Note 5 have no support!
950 XL has Windows 10 Mobile vs what? iOS9 or Android 6?
950 XL has category 10 LTE support
The only thing I see the others have over the 950 XL is the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 eats more power than the other two. Besides that the Lumia 950 XL is a flagship smartphone!
no one is going to pay $375 outright for a phone with no apps worth having.
This phone needs to be given away with every xbox or surface purchase. and full retail needs to be $129 (950) and $169(XL) (its a cheap plastic phone, not metal like flagship ios/android phones)
(cheaper than a $199 insurance claim)
The need to put them in gum ball machines at this point, or just show up in every single mailbox in north america like a Tide coupon, if they hope to be a 3rd OS 2 years from now.
Until you get people to USE the phones, the apps will NEVER come. if the apps never come, no one will ever use the phones. (aside from the 1% marketshare they have now)
Oh dude forget about it.....even they feel the same way....Seriously have to wonder why any of you posters are hanging out in a windows forums when all you do is trash the platform and offer no constructive comments. Windows central Mods have really dropped the ball get it together guys.
You're still wrong. Microsoft should send $100 to every man, woman, and child in the U.S. with a note apologizing for any grief that the recipient has had to endure due to Microsoft letting down some Windows Central commenters. Sure, it's $33 billion, but they've got it and they're not using it to do the things that we want so they have no right to keep it.I'm sorry but it needs to be less than that. The phones should be available in stores for $1 contract free.
Post after post i see nothing but a bright minds of today, you're all philosophers and the smartest world has ever seen. You can even tell the way how big corporations should sell and advertise their products, and even recommend the price. Boy you're smart.

I will be getting a 950 xl and the wife will be getting the 950. I am however picking up an android phone so I have the apps I need. I hope the dev's jump onboard with project Astoria so we can get all the good android apps.
