Just received my 950 xl, nov 25, via UPS. Was shipped from Harrisburg, PA. Was ordered on nov 16. I am from Montreal.
The unit is a dual sim with build 10586.0 and battery charged at 30%. When beginning the initial setup I was not able to enter my MS account. Gave me an error (don't remember). I had to reinitialize the phone from the system settings and after around 15 minutes of resetting I had been able to enter my MS account. And I chose my backup to restore from my previous Lumia 930. The restore went well.
Than I started the appli update from the store. Around 32 appli had updates.
I have a quality feeling when I have it in hand. Its not too big for me. Much lighter than my L930. I use a Moko case to protect it.
While
I will post other info after few days or using it
