It would be nice if you could preorder a 950 XL with one of those sweet metal and leather backs. I want to preorder, but not sure where/if there is one with a dock included deal somewhere.
They did not have the 950, only the 950XL was on display in white. I posted pics in the hands on experience thread.That is too funny. I was going to ask if you pre-ordered an ATT branded 950. I am pretty much over carrier branded and/or locked phones, but I may make an exception for this one. I can't using an XL, but I guess I'll go by the MS store tomorrow and see how it looks.
I am assuming they had a demo model?
I wonder if you can preorder with the devil, er, ATT.
Why preorder this stuff? It's not like there's going to be a shortage or a line out the door you have to camp out overnight in front of the MS store. I mean, I'm planning on buying a phone too so I'm a fan and all..just wondering what all the hub-bub is that would incline folks to pre-order.
With games..pre-orders are incentivized by bundling with in-game goodies or toys or whatever. There isn't any bundle deal that I'm aware of...so where's the motivation beyond just simple super-fan status?

Well so much for trying to sneak the Lumia 950 by on pre-order!
Hello Mr. Worldspy99,
Our records indicated that you requested to pre-order the Microsoft Lumia 950. Unfortunatly, at this time, we are unable to fulfill your request. The Lumia 950 is not currently available in our region. However, you still have the option of the Microsoft Lumia 950XL which will be available soon. Let me know if you would like me to change the request order for your 950 to the 950XL. Pre-orders are still free, and will guarantee you a copy when it’s released. Let me know what you decide.
Best,

I meant online, no store near me...thanks for the exact model # tho! Was that a 32GB model by chance?
Same exact reason here as well.I did it simply to let Microsoft know "yes, I am interested" and let them gauge interest. I'm not sure I'll buy it, but leaning towards it, so might as well pre-order for free.
It's not inconceivable that MS would undership, whether as a marketing ploy or to gauge interest. It wouldn't be the first time they did (ie. Band and some moedels of the SP3). That was the main reason I tried to start a separate pre-order thread on the 950 forum (and got my head ripped off for it). Add in the fact that we could possibly be looking at one US carrier selling them initially and I don't think it's a stretch to say that they could be gone in two days.Why preorder this stuff?

Are you guys preordering in a MS Store? Their website only has an option to email when available
Any word on how much the dock cost?
