I want the 950, but EE don't seem to care about anything unless it's made by Apple or Samsung.

Tried to get an 830 a few months after its launch and they'd already dropped it.

Probably 950xl, I need to ask the android fans about an android alternative, not getting on with my current android but maybe it's down to silly rom antutu benchmarks says it's over 3 times as fast as my wp, yet it lags horribly and a few other smaller issues. All because there's a few apps I really want which aren't on windows. Amazon prime video and 2 banking apps.

And I want to know what the camera is like. Most important feature. If it's slow to focus and take, that would be a massive downer.

Probably wait till Jan and see if the price comes down and see if w10 has had any effect on apps.

Had a Samsung S3 for over 3 years now and will be upgrading to one of these. I prefer a smaller mobile phone so will probably go for the 950 but the xl is only half an inch bigger so I dunno........
Could almost do with two phones, one for daily use and a proper mobile, mobile phone for out and about at weekends when something small will do.

I was thinking the same when I was tempted with a 6P recently, but although its a small amount somehow it seems to make quite a large difference when I compare phones of this size to a 5.2". Its odd but I'm not quite sure I could go that large.

Edit - although even though they have the same size screens the 950XL isn't as mammoth as the 6P I was looking at http://www.phonearena.com/phones/si...Lumia-950-XL,Google-Nexus-6P/phones/9545,9587

Anyway, I now find myself strangely tempted with a 950, I really didn't think I'd be looking at Windows as an option for my next phone!

I think as long as the camera is decent which it should be (the 930 was good) I think i'll be getting a 950, i'm not all the bothered about the apps tbh, having said that hopefully android 6.0 will be out for the G4 soon and improve things on there
