          Things are looking up for Microsoft this event may have been what they needed to finally 'shake the market' the only tragedy with these devices I can think of is the non-premium look of the 950 and 950 xl, the 550 is set to be a record breaker at this rate, the band 2 is exactly what Microsoft needed to do, the new surface book has its eyes firmly set on the MacBook market while the pro has its own niece. Lets hope Microsoft can do what it firmly deserves.

                Looks like I might be the only one who is glad they kept the polycarbonate body . I can live with the design . Now only if the camera results are comparable to the best in class :)

                      Lumia 950 and 950xl features are really nice like windows hello and dock (Microsoft) but the polycarbonate material in a flagship device I.e. On whole the device is the only downfall...
                      Wish the design was like 925. It would be great then.
                      Waiting for lumia 850 to launch.

                            I need a promise from Microsoft that 950 WILL NOT heat up like 930 and 925.
                            Waited too long and very hopeful it would be worth it.

                              Good specs on that XL...but oh, that camera module design...what were those designers thinking?
                              It really looks bad

                                AnonD-251656, 06 Oct 2015Looks like no one is interested!Because you Android fans can't comment on specs or innovation or lack of this and that... probably the only thing you'll say is that is plastic ha ha ha. And THIS is the next best thing not some Apple thing or omg edge on screen or android 5.3.3 or 5.3.4.3.3.3.3. thet you can't have uless you have a NEW phone. When I say new I mean 6 months old flagship. I won't comment on mid rangers at all

                                        Did i saw a leather back with metal frame for 950XL or what???!!!
                                        by the way, the design is not that bad, it looks really good not so fancy but good enough.
                                        i love it, and will own it for sure.
