Congrats.
Ordered the Verizon version from Microsoft 10 days ago. Still pending.
Ordered the lap dock the next day, arrived last Wednesday.
I'm guessing it's sold out, I just don't know it yet..

Except for the camera and the microphone array, yeah it's better than the 1520.

I go back and forth between them (1520 / Elite X3).
Front firing speakers are cool. The 1520 just has that lumia kick/flare that I cannot let go...believe it or not the battery life is quite similar between them (for me). The 800 SoC chews through it faster though when downloading and streaming. The standby drain on my 1520 though is outstanding.

VPN issue
I tried to get my NordVPN to install but failed.
After talking to their support people they told me their vpn won't work on the X3.

What VPN service works for Win10mobile on this X3?

After some personal investigating I now see why
Win10mobile does not align with vpn networks.
Something to live with; moreover something one day gets attention to.
So, basically, we do not receive the same protections other mobile platforms inherit.

I meant better as in performance. The 1520 is a much better looking handset, no doubt.

Glad to hear it! I bought the X3+desk dock on a whim when I saw the whole thing go on sale for $300. Verizon. Now what should I do with it? And anybody have ideas about the best case?

I have the Incipio Carnaby case...really like it.

I have that one too. The only issue I have with it is that the buttons are stiff when trying to engage them..

Just received my hp case.
Fits perfectly
Very pleased with it.

Been using this X3 on weekends and with each daily use I feel more & more comfortable using this device.

I really enjoy my 1520 but this thing is what I envisioned at the beginning of Windows Phone.


Very happy with this device

I tried the carnaby case. It just felt too big.

Better without one. It's bare to the world lately...
I go the same with the 1520. Too large for cases..

I find the official HP silicone case to be outstanding. it makes the phone entirely manageable in one hand.
