So how do you feel after using the 950?
What were your impressions?
Did you get to demo windows hello?
What build was on the 950?
Did it snap you out of iPhone nirvana?
Did you feel like you made the right choice going iOS?
Overall thoughts?
Fill us in on the phone!
Impressions of the 950 were good. I'm not a fan of the small device as like mentioned before I would be coming from a 1520. Didn't check the build on it; forgot to do that, but I would guess the latest build it was too much stuff happening.
The camera worked great, it's very clear and most of the apps were working. Edge crashed on me on one demo. Windows Hello were not on any of the devices present, not to say it not on the device but they probably wanted quick access to phone.
They only had the black models at the event, they showed off continuum with miracast and with a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse. It's a nice size device thicker than an iPhone.
About my current iPhone nirvana lol, unfortunately I still favor my iPhone. Just found out I can automatically upload all my pictures taken to OneDrive, all my Microsoft Apps are here and working properly (OneNote, PowerPoint, OneDrive) group messages sync better and apps are full and complete etc, etc. I have until the 21st to return my iPhone so unless something develops with the 950XL I will probably keep my iPhone. iOS to me is not a choice as most people claim as to me everything just works and is easy and accessible. Maybe because everything is integrated and first party instead of sort-of integrated on Windows and third-party (6tag, 4th & mayor, Metrotube). Off-topic but one thing that kind of got me staying is that I bought an Apple Watch to try out with my iPhone to get the "full experience" and I liked how my iPhone was on 10% and I was able to transfer my phone call from my phone to my watch and continue it while my phone charged.
So to conclude, many people will be happy with the 950 and Windows 10. If any of you guys have used the preview builds they have improved on a lot of things. In some regards it's better than Windows 8.1, I do find some of the aesthetic choices bad but that's another debate. But the camera works fast, one unified store, mail is now all unified like my iPhone instead of separate like it was on 8.1. The only thing I hate compared to my iPhone that I still hate is that to edit photos I have to switch over to Lumia Creative Studio, I still find that annoying. 950 will be a success for Windows fans it's a step in the right direction and improvement from the 920/1020 crowd but it's kind of meh for me who fall in the 1520 crowd. Continuum if you are into that type of thing will be great.
