Mine has been on preorder since 10-15.

Mine somewhere around there too. Don't recall the date. Very soon after the announcement.

I went INTO a Microsoft store and the manager told me the 950xl will be available IN STORE for those who preordered on 11/20/15. He wasn't guessing, he wasn't non commital, he was absolutely sure.!!!! In regards to the free dock, it is redeemed via an app so where you purchase the 950XL from is irrelevant in regards to Microsoft store or the Dot com. 4 days! I'm ready

Thanks for this! Your username makes me pessimistic though lol.

Re: 950XL waiting room.

Yep ordered mine 950XL too and it will replace my 1020 wich still works after a repair on the connector Looks like an awesome phone too me The PC option is really cool. I would say this is the vision i thought when i first got my Lumia 800 It came a long way. But this is it.

Not sure, but you know what? I'm gonna be dropping into the local AT&T store this week to get some details. $200 of an LTE Surface 3 with a 950 or a free $99 MS dock with a 950XL. I think I'm going for the 950. I'd love the XL, but if I can get that deal on the Surface... and I'm needing to replace my tablet... boy-oh-boy.

No XL on AT&T. Looks like the 950 is your only choice with AT&T.

Is it just me or has the MS site gone back to saying email me when available?

Looks like they sold out on black. White is still allowing pre-order. That was quick!

 

[Musicman247]

I'm seeing the same. That was quick! Either the pre-orders went up too early and AT&T complained, or they sold out already which I highly doubt.

Only the black shows "Email me when available". White still lets you preorder. I think I'm going to end up waiting to see what happens with my in-store preorder. I'm hoping it means I'm guaranteed one to purchase.

 

[tuxedo323]

Back ordered already?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

That's funny. I have a Mozo back coming so the phone color didn't matter. So I ordered black thinking that would be the least popular.

I just bought a black 950xl at 6:30 EST so there doesn't appear to be any backorders necessary.

You guys are lucky you have a MS store nearby. I would love to buy the phone at one, especially if they do get it on the 20th, and would have preferred getting my Surface from a MS store, but I can't commit 5 hours to drive to one and back.

I'm in the same boat; nearest MS to me is 5 hours EACH way!!

you guys should live in Europe No idea if there is any MS Store in the Benelux or even somewhere in Europe

Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Sold Out in Less than Half a Day, Now Ships by Mid-December - Softpedia

 

[Musicman247]

Oh man, it says shipping Dec 11 now! I hope beyond hope that this doesn't affect in-store preorders. Especially since many have had theirs since October. I did mine Nov. 4.

MS Rep told me weeks ago the Microsoft Stores will be allocated so many phones upon release and it all depends on where you are on the list if you get it in the first wave or next.. Did they tell you how many are ahead of you?? Might be better to order online, you should see a ship by date there and if its "ships before Nov 25th" like ours you would be good either way, if the one from the online store does ship earlier you can just cancel your Local MS Store order..

 

[Musicman247]

Store rep (I believe he's the manager) told me they should get the xl in by Friday, so I don't want to order online just yet in the hopes he's correct.

I am going to call and try to actually talk to someone in the store today I don't feel like going there after work. I will have to figure out what option to push to actually get someone in the store. :eck: I think I preordered mine a couple of days after the announcement but I didn't get an email or anything and it doesn't show on my account but they told me that it was in a different system. Oh well I will call today to try to find out.

You don't have the receipt? You should definitely have the receipt, and also you should've given them your email address.
