950XL Waiting Room

[psurob55]

Do the Microsoft stores have demo models of the 950 and XL back in store yet? Hard to believe they don't with only a week until release (at least for the 950).

you have to find a corporate store, not an independently owned store.

didnt know there were independently owned Microsoft stores
I think you meant independent ATT (or ATT authorized) stores?

So while we're waiting for the 950XL:

On MotoMaker, I know it's possible to buy a carrier sim for US$5 (since my wife is considering one).

Does anyone know if ATT in the US will just replace my existing mini-sim with a new nano-sim for the 950XL? Is there likely to be a way to just buy the sim from MS when I pre-order?

Yes, I just walked into the AT&T store and they gave me one when I got a new phone for my wife that required a nano...

Didn't realize the 950XL will need a Nano Sim?? Well guess the first thing I'll be doing when I get my XL is head up to my AT&T store for a new Sim, I would think Nano is as small as Sims will get, although I thought that with the Micro lol.

When switching to Cricket a couple months ago I couldn't find a store, including Amazon, with micro sims. Had to get their nanosim and adapter.

All T-mobile Sims are multi-sized now. They snap out at three different sizes including micro and nano. I have mine snapped at micro now in my 925. I'll be breaking it down to nano size for my 950xl.

I have an 830 which also uses a Nano SIM.

Yet my 640XL does not?? Curious why the 830 which was released last year has a nano but the 640XL which was released months ago is still micro?? Not that it matters, the 950XL is coming soon

Free Continuum docks on the house. This buys them another 7 days

The authorized AT&T dealer near me has several sim cutters. They also offered to replace my sim at no charge. I'll be visiting there the day I get my 950XL, unless I get too impatient, I have a Swiss Army knife.

 

[Mark Kaplan]

Anyone else get a thrill just to see the store page change even a little??

Yeah but it was short lived.

Quite typical that mid range or flagship uses nano sim while low end uses micro sim. True for Android phones as well. Probably something to do with cost.

 

[Musicman247]

Well guys, it seems we've almost made it. The light at the end of the tunnel is nearing! Nov. 20th will be a happy day for everyone in the US (who was waiting on this phone). Less than a week now and we'll have this precious beast in our hands.

But I'm not excited or anything.

My thoughts exactly. I was ready to head to pickup the S6 Edge plus today but then read that last night. I'm in.

 

[geekladyemjay]

That's funny I was just getting on to say I think I can relax now. :winktongue: We are close enough and the weeks go by fast. Who all has already preordered? :excited:

Always remember.... with Android you have to "force close" apps. You don't want that in your life, trust me.

That can make sense but the 550 also uses nano sim, so maybe this is something might vary on the phone itself.

Boy that didn't turn out very well at all. It was supposed to include a quote as well.

Anyway point being yay less than a week to go next we will be discussing our new phones amongst one another. Now I just wait for the phone call!
