Thanks Pretty excited to be honest. Had a Moto X 2014 Pure, but the battery life was terrible. I then bought a Lumia 640 XL, man I loved that phone, it was awesome. However it was pretty slow compared to my Moto X. Then I bought a Nexus 6P. Fantastic phone! Seriously! Awesome camera, blazing fast. Marshmallow on it is super quick. In the end though, I kind of missed the Windows UI... so I returned my 6P today and managed to order a 950 XL... Didn't think I would be able to order one so quick

It was a bit weird actually. I had the 950 XL in my cart, and when I pressed checkout, it gave me an error saying it was no longer in stock. I checked again in a few minutes and thankfully it went through. Seems like they are doing a few at a time or something.

Unlocked White is showing email when available but looks like Black is available now.

Buy Microsoft Lumia 950 XL ? Unlocked - Microsoft Store

Edit.. Black is out now too.. crazy..

I wonder if a few of these today were cancelled pre-orders and ones that had failed payment validation. Seems such a short window of availability for new stock.

I have had mine in my cart on one computer and i guess i just need to keep pressing complete order
I just have to remember to refresh the discover deals 5% cash back every 2.5 hours (expires after 3 hours)

Funny thing though.... on a different computer, i dont have anything in my cart - no 950XL and no other accessories that im ordering also.. you would think that if they can sync our emails, messages and reminders between devices, that they can sync our carts also? Yes, im signed in with the same microsoft account on both... this is how amazon does it for me... no matter where i am logged in, the cart shows the same items....

 

[jmajid]

well WOW....
i kept pressing checkout and place order for the past 5 days and it JUST went through !! im shocked -
white 950XL ordered with discover cash back 5% and the wireless portable battery charger too.... so i can use it on the go if required....

and yes, the credit card has a pending transaction as is the case with Discover anyway...

I've been checking my order status like crazy as well No ship date yet, it says 'in process' under order status but in account.microsoft.com, it says 'complete'. I am guessing it will ship soon, well... I hope it does anyways.

The 'coming soon' disappeared from my order... whatever that means.

I ordered last night. I ordered using two different credit cards from two different companies. Hopefully MS doesn't cancel this time. I also *should* have one on hold at my local store when I get back in the country on Sunday afternoon.
