On 11th Dec got my first 950 black. Immediately it was self updated to .29 and running smooth. Next day i realized the back over making creepy noise. Upon inspecting it, the Microsoft care advised to replace the phone with new one.
On 12th Dec, have received the new 950.This time it did not get the .29 update and it never and it was too having the same creepy noise. After two days, have noticed a small bubble under the right middle of the display and device self restarted couple of times.Though the bubble was not a bigger one, but seeing the possibility of the bubble expanding in future, rushed to Microsoft Care Center where they suggested to replace with a new one.
Thinking of the build quality of the previous two 950, specially the back cover, which was not up to the mark, and coming from an L1520, I decided to replace it with 950XL.
Requested for a replacement of 950 with 950XL adding up the rest amount. It was granted immediately and there I am with a new 950XL on 19th Dec and it immediately update to .29. It was a nice experience and help extended at both Microsoft store and Care Center. By the way, 950/950XL has a 7 days replacement policy from the date of purchase.
Couple of observation between 950 and 950XL....
1, Both 950 and 950XL are beautiful devices.
1, 950 is with right screen size for majority.
2, 950 black back cover is creepy while white color is not so.
3, 950 build quality is not up to what 950XL is.
4, The .29 update problem is more common in 950 than 950XL
5, 950XL does not make creepy noise - at-least for me. - I know there is a thread on the same.
6, 950XL has heating problem when using high graphics or downloading updates / apps.
So far so good. No creepy noise, no reboots. Battery looks ok to run 12 hours with all the apps running in back ground, though it takes as week for final results.
Coming from L1520, i can say 950XL is promising, except missing the hardware navigation keys - am i the only one?
Look forward for a black leather Mozo back cover soon.
