Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
So...I played with the 950 today.
I've got mixed feelings about it. The summary version I wished they had launched this a year ago in the current package they have. I don't think this was worth the wait.
Both the 950 and the 950XL have a Nexus 5 feel to it based on their design. I do hope the third party cases make it more personal, but they both feel functional. Which is fine by me, I suppose...but doesn't look as well. Honestly, I picked up the 950 and initially thought it was a 640. If I didn't see what the back was to look like, I'd have ignored it.
Well, I hope it sells, but I wasn't as impressed as I'd hoped to be from an engineering perspective, MSFT hit a home run. They packed a lot of good tech in a lightweight chassis. It is very impressive. Still, I wish it had some personality like the 925 or even the 920. Hell, even the 930 which is a bit bland has more personality than the 950, to me.
But, it is early days yet. I hope I'm proven wrong. Still, I will pass for now. Maybe if they get cheaper, I would take the chance. Based on What I saw though, these phones would have been more on the money in the $479 and $550 bracket.
