***Lumia 950/950XL***

MS no better ��

Shipped yesterday via UPS with an expected delivery by end of day 7th!

Why can't they use the good old Royal Mail Special Delivery?

To rub salt into the wounds they are pleased to say that the delivery is on target!

Well at least you know its been shipped and its coming by UPS. I don't know anything, still had anything from Argos or the magical mystery shadow people that are sending it, so I think its not coming today and when it is, is a complete mystery at the this point.

Getting the 920 on release was no easier, had to ring phones 4 u every day (2 different stores) for 2 weeks as they kept saying they would have stock the next day only for it to randomly vanish when I rang up again. Microsoft really need to fix this problem, shouldn't be this hard in 2015 to get a bloody phone that's out.

I've noticed most Microsoft I've had via UPS has been sent via Ireland, wonder if that's the case with their phones.

I have to agree, the 1020 release was a fiasco too.If i remember at the last minute it was pushed back 2 weeks, but UKMail had already sent out the tracking details for O2 customers, then were told to sit on the devices till the new release date.


I think it's partly down to the fact the U.K just isn't a big market anymore. Let's get the phone out in the U.S and India first, and then we'll ship a few units to the U.K just to get a presence there.

Has it been 5 days yet?
 
My only complaint so far with windows phone is the quality of the apps,am not bothered about the lack as I only used maybe 5 on android. Like the Facebook app it's pretty dreadful compared to other plarltforms
 
Well I rang Argos again to see what was up, and to see if they could change the delivery address, they cant. Its also not likely to turn up at the weekend so there text is all lies as well. Slightly ****ed off now.

I did manage to get the name of the supplier though and it looks like its these guys https://store.exertis.co.uk/cmcPage.asp?idPage=3544&mscssid={011E882A-9266-4920-904A-626270CCEDD1} the Basingstoke Office. Did ring them up and the receptionist sounded fed up so I don't think I was the first. She put me though to two people both not at their desks..

So if anyone else if having issues with Argos give that office a ring and mention Argos. I am going to try again in a bit to see if I can find out what the hell is going on with phone.

Nope, but I ordered it when it said 1 day, and I have had a text saying I will get it by the 6th (so by today). This is what is confusing me and the lack of real information from Argos is not helping.

Let us know how you get on, going by Argos I should have mine by Sunday - which I can't see happening.
 
Right just got off the phone to them. They do not have any stock due to a delay, they were meant to be shipping it yesterday this is where the 1 day delivery came from. Instead they are now getting stock on Sunday with the aim of getting it out to people on Monday.

They have said Argos know about the stock issue and were meant to be contacting all customers with an order to explain this issue. Instead for some reason they just sent that vague text message out saying the 6th. It should have said they are getting stock on the 6th not that you will get your order by then.

The suppliers will be contacting me on Monday to sort everything out and I can ring back and chat to the same sales guy again if it all goes wrong come Monday.
 
Active glance on the 735 versus proper glance on the 950

Desktop screens on the 735 and 950

First impressions (versus the 735)

  • Plastic back is lower quality, thinner and the texture feels lower quality
  • Side buttons have sharp edges and do not fit as tightly
  • Screen is totally flat versus the 735 slightly curved edges
  • Screen is very similar, apart from the extra resolution
  • Everything app seems to run in the background on Windows 10 versus only certain apps on 8, this means you have a huge trail of menus and screens when pressing back
  • Subjectively the battery is worse
  • Yes the 950 is faster and more responsive
  • Gets hot in the first phase of charging
  • Camera much better in low light

No, the "All Apps" and arrow are only at the very bottom of the main screen boxes. So if you have enough menu icons that fill up the main screen, the words will be hidden from view. Personally, I've set up mine so there's just enough to push it off screen.
