So nice, you had to post it thrice.

Just got my 950XL... I'm in the US and they sent me a Dual SIM. Wonder if there is no Single SIM phones?
Phone feels nice. Quick look and the build quality seems pretty good. Excited to get into this phone and play with it later today.
Here are some pictures!

Be careful taking off the back, if you touch near the USB-c port you can bend it, I bent it back but still it shouldn't be that easy to bend.

Also, as I posted elsewhere here is a picture of behind the battery confirming a US phone from Microsoft Online with dual-SIM.

Did you take it off with the port or the notch?

Question...tried plugging my type C cable into a normal USB port on my computer. Do I need a special adapter or something ?

 

[elindalyne]

No, but it charges very slowly compared to a wall charger.

Did you take it off with the port or the notch?

The notch, but I touched the port opening and it bent.
Also I noticed both of my cases when trying to take them off they pull the whole back off.

Can someone put it side by side with a 920?

I just got mine! My question is, what's the best way to put insurance on an carrier unlocked phone?

I could definitely see a tight case potentially pulling off the back. And I could see how the usb c port is vulnerable when the back is off. Thankfully the backs won't be off for long enough for it to be an huge issue. You aren't going to irreparably bend the port through normal use.

Can someone put it side by side with a 920?

I can do that tonight when I get home.

Microsoft Complete is the best option if you can get it.

I am currently setting up the phone as I work between setup prompts haha.
Will let you know what I think once everything is up and running.

Make sure you're on wifi initially... You're going to chew up a bunch of data doing app downloads and updates.

Are the Here Apps (Explore, Drive, Maps) not available in the W10 store ?

Are the Here Apps (Explore, Drive, Maps) not available in the W10 store ?

they are not visible right now... Pino (Here maps VP) said they are working through some technical issues that are now allowing them to show up in the Windows 10 Mobile store... so that means they are working on it...
I have come to prefer the windows map app recently - still uses Here backend for the map data, but the app is better i think... esp that 3D and streetside view
