I have a feeling you are from the states, but I am from europe.

Correct, I am from the states. I send stuff overseas quite frequently, usually through ebay, but I've actually sent a few things directly from this site as well.

In fact, this past week, my sales have been: Spain, Spain, NY, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, Dominican Republic. Not sure why there haven't been any US buyers, that's how it goes some weeks. It seems that many of my unlocked phones go to Europe or Australia.

I got my 930 and n problems at all. Actually I got the wrong colour I wanted but I got Vodaphone to pay for a second back. This 930 I have has been incresdibly reliable, fast, sturdy, the mic and speakers for calls sounds great and people always say I sond good on it. Sounds like you were unlucky. Your the first one I read with issues so I'm guessing its not that common a issue.

Well cost can always be an issue but the 950 is better than the 930 in so many ways its hard to imagine many people would take a 930 if offered either.

I mean SD card (up to 2TB), replaceable backs (huge appearance advantage), faster, higher res screen, Continuum if you ever need it, replaceable battery, Windows Hello. Now someone can say they would never want some of those but things do change and they have a value if only as insurance against having to replace a 930 later.

Excellent question!

Was just about to buy the 950 to replace my 730 dual sim. On checkout, I realized that Microsoft want $849 CAN (including taxes) for the phone.

Definitely want the 5.2 Lumia 950, but it looks bland compared to the 930!

Looked on Ebay and see that I can buy a brand new 930 for $400 CAN. I honestly don't think the 950 is worth more than twice the 930.

Does that help in your decision?:angry:

I own a Lumia 730 and am considering either the 930 or the 950. (I also own a 1520 which broke :-( )

Have to say, it is a hard decision....really. Why does MS make these decisions so hard? They give on one hand and take on the other. The 930 is $400 new and the 950 is $750 new.

My 730 runs Windows 10 really well and think I may just keep it :)
