I use my L830, L930 and L950XL as my main phones and love both the phone and the OS. It has everything I need from a phone and can do some things better than Android or iOS.

Still using a work provided L650 which suits me just fine. If I still had my 950xl I'd be too tempted to carry that alongside my Galaxy Note 8 at all times but since the camera on the 650 isn't great I still get my Windows phone fix and still have a top end phone/camera as my main device

I left the WP/WM bandwagon a couple of years ago and don't own one today. But with the recent price cut on the Alcatel 4S, I am considering keeping one just as a backup to play around with the OS. The problem is...I already have too many backups

I have a 650, 830,950 and a idol 4s all of which very rarely get turned on these days other than to update the OS when something is available. I use an LG V30 for work now and a Note8 for personal phone, both work very well and cant see myself going back to a w10m device again.

I keep an Idol 4S in my glovebox for Remote Desktop duties since the Android and iOS versions really aren't as good as Windows. I'm trying really hard to get used to the new 18:9 displays but I might have to go back in time to a S7 Edge languishing in a drawer. This S8+ has the best camera I've ever used but one-handed use is not happening.

950 here, my father is using his 640 (previously he had a 630 that used to be mine and he complained about it but now he's happy), my mother is using my old 640 XL, my uncle is using his own 640 XL and I am sure he had a Windows Phone 7.8 phone somewhere. My grandfather is using a 530 that used to be my father's and my aunt is using a 535. Quite a long list, isn't it?

looks like 90% of current Windows10 Mobile users are members of your family:)

My 950 is my main phone. I tried the new Nokia but the simplicity of the OS, the camera, and the Photos and People apps drew me back. They are just easier to deal with on the phone itself as they're the same as what's on my PC.

Funnily enough, I showed one of my work colleagues my spare 950 and he couldn't believe it. He'd never seen one before. He kept on saying how good it was and kept asking why he'd never heard of them. Oh well. He's enjoying the phone I gave him now.

Carry the 950XL. Waiting for phone with a better camera than my old 1020, maybe the Huawei P20. Bought a Sony A6000 camera to hold me over. All I wanted was a faster 1020.

I would still be using my Lumia 950 XL had it not fell from my locker at work (clumsy I know) last December.

I'm planning to buy another Lumia 950 XL for its killer camera but took a pause until MS sorts out the contact syncing issues.

In the meantime I'm sadly using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

Why sadly? I've heard it's a pretty nice device

Sitting watching the movie Get Out just now and Chris the main character is using a Lumia 950 and it's seriously making me miss mine watching him using it. Now I'm trying to sneakily search ads for a preowned one as a 2nd phone without my wife seeing cos she'll actually kill me.

My wife and I use our 950 and 950xl everyday. I did purchase an HP Elite x3 but haven't activated it yet. We don't own anything apple nor Google.

I almost bought one a year ago but ended up getting the Idol 4S which sits in a drawer. I would get one to play around with if they were cheap. Did u buy used or new?

Still daily drive my 950. Always been on Windows phones- and PDAs before smartphone was a thing. Really don't want to change. Test drove iPhone for a week, and pulled the 950 back out. Wish I had another option, but starting to see signs of end of life. Looking at V30 as an option until MS pulls the next wizardry out of their sleeve.
