Microsoft is degrading their flagship Lumia devices!

I get by fine with miracast. I think continuum has some benefits over screen mirroring, but not really enough to justify carrying around a keyboard, mouse, and docking station. I would rather just carry my surface and display port adapter. I do think this post is not really about continuum and we are in danger of going far off topic.

Except that you don't have to vary anymore than a display adapter/Miracast device. Your phone works as a mouse & keyboard with Continuum.

I think Continuum is one impressive feature that makes the 950 stand out. But is it available in the 550 and 650 aswell?

As Daniel Rubino said, I think Microsoft is leaving room for other OEM's to make a PC like market.

My 1520 (oh how I miss you baby) had capacitive buttons which were a pain in th eye when watching video in the dark. Also, they were triggered oh so easily. At least now, with me 950, I can swipe the onscreen buttons away.

Regarding premium feel - to each his own. Just consider some folks taste in a SO. Slap on a Mozo case and Viola, unmatched premium and my iPhone friends are like dammmnnnn.

How do you "swipe away" the onscreen buttons?

You can do that if you are inside some app, there is possibility to swipe the buttons.

Sadly it works not all apps. Mostly you can try this while gaming.

With a few apps being the exception, you just swipe up from the bottom of the navigation bar to dismiss it. Works outside of apps too.

This works for Windows 10 apps, but not for older WP7/WP8 Silverlight apps.

But having glance has nothing to do with DDTW. It just means you have to lift your phone every time you want to turn it on. Coming from a phone with DDTW that becomes infuriating in short order.
