MS Lumia 950 to order in Canada

It's been a while when I submitted my email to get the reply when supply is available again. Also, local MS store does not have this model.

Does anyone have some info when Lumia 950 will be available from MS online Canada store, or what is the situation around the sale?
Is it because WM 10 still have some issues?

Go figure, I just ordered the 950XL yesterday, which arrived today, and of course the 950 is now available for order:

Buy Microsoft Lumia 950 ? Unlocked - Microsoft Store Online

However they should call it a pre-order since:

"Ships by February 8, 2016"

Should be, on paper at least. In practice these phones, in my experience, are a disaster. My advice is stay away, STAY FAR AWAY.

This is not the phone (hardware), rather than software that at this moment has some minor glitches. The build will progress and those problems some people are complaining about will be gone.
My Lumia 920 still runs and trust me runs very well. The 3 years old camera is still ahead of cameras released today.
MS did a big mistake quickly announcing great hardware (Nokia) with the software that has some bugs (Microsoft). This leads to some people are loosing their trust and believe in MS products. Another couple of months and we will get a great product. Please be patient.

My 950 XL has been a pretty good experience except for:

Bluetooth won't pair with the DT -903 wireless charger <- driver/software
Wifi disconnects very often and isn't terribly fast <- driver/software
The case gets "creaky" after you've taken it off a few times <- hardware
You can't force the camera into HDR mode <- software
Battery life still pales in comparison to the 6P <- software optimization
Skype or Messaging+Skype doesn't support video emoji's <- software
No Double tap to wake <- driver/software
Windows Hello needs to be damn close to work <- hardware

Overall I can live with almost all of this bar the poor battery life. Comparing to a co-worker who has a brand new 6P, he was at 84% battery after 8-8.5hrs in where as I was at 68% after about 7-7.5hrs with very light usage.

Wish I could just install Marshmellow on this phone to compare the hardware with different OS's.

Edit: forgot Outlook email rendering, which is software again.

I understand your pain. I hope all bugs will be fixed soon. But on other hand you got a good hardware that could be last at least for 5 years.
