I actually bought this phone and I'm pleasantly surprised - it's a quite good phone. Compared to my old full of hardware (bad vibration module, awful control keys, display disturbance and etc.) bugs (and software after the windows 10 update) Lumia 930, buying another Lumia was a bit of risk, but now I'm pleased. Yes, windwos 10 has some bugs, but I hope M$ will fix them. I'm especially pleased by the iris skener. It works like a charm. Even in dark room lighted only by PC monitor or laptop screen. And it works fast too. Good job M$. Now you have to fix this "Edge" f**ker (common guys, no forward key, really? and why the beep every page I open in background needs to reload itself everytime EVEN if I let the web page to load in the first place?) or remove it and bring Chrome or Opera, bring HERE maps and city lens back and everything will be ALMOST okay...ish.

If there are any smartphone worth using, it will be the Lumia devices;
• They have the ability to add micro SD which all iPhone lacks.
• They have fantastic apps which is equally used in all the mobile OS.
• They are highly secured unlike android that is being attacked and hacked every now and then.
• You are more relaxed and secured with the cloud services offered unlike google whose business is selling of ads/infos.
• They have never be known to be affected by virus or trojans unlike android which is susceptible to all kind viruses Trojans etc.
• They are very fast and smooth to use unlike android devices that begin to lag after five months of usage.
• They receive frequent and meaningful updates.
• You cannot jailbreak or root the lumia device it is solidly secured, everything you use on Lumia is genuine. Remember jailbreaking or rooting makes you vulnerable to virus, hacking, phishing, your personal info leaks, etc. Also, you forfeit your warranty when you jailbreak or root your android device or iPhone.
Lumia phones are ultimate.

druss32, 07 May 2016I picked up Lumia 950xl a few days ago, I'm impressed by it, I've been android user for around... moreWell, cause 99,99% of the so called "critics" never used the system, or even worse, just type it in stores and they already know all about it. This people aren't worth to mind cause soon, when android will start to collaps they will be talking about it, the same way. This kids, have no idea what technology is and how it works.

In that free office mobile app we can't create a simple document...
In free office app
We can't drag table wherever we want in document.
We can't insert interactive flowcharts.
We can't add ruler.
We can't resize the table.
Even we can't do those this using continuum feature also...
If u want this options you should pay office 365 monthly subscription charges...
Compare microsoft's free excel, word mobile app to apple's free numbers, pages mobile app, you will get to know what are all missing in microsoft's word, excel mobile app...

New build released. Should take you to version 10.0.10586.318. Also there is an update to whatsapp also. Downloading as I type. And for those not sure about this device, pay no attention to the negative comments. It's a solid device that's smooth and gets the job done.

I picked up Lumia 950xl a few days ago, I'm impressed by it, I've been android user for around seven years and I just got more and more frustrated with updates that made the phone have more glitches and slowed it down. So I digress the Lumia I have had for almost a week and the speed of it is incredible and the updates to fix any bugs are always helpful. I have hand no issues at all with my Lumia, I don't understand the negative reviews I've read before purchasing this phone as, the back does not creaky and it does not have any bugs that I have seen so far. The performance is outstanding from web browsing to daily app use and the camera is crisp and clear with ease of use to.
That's all I can say as I haven't had the phone for a great deal of time.
Thanks you Windows for such a great phone

After 6mths with my 950xl, it has been great, & it does the job excellently.... But there are a few minor gripes..
- there is a persistent bug where if I enable data usage monitoring, it will keep telling me Im approaching my data limit and activate the preset data use limitations, even if im nowhere near the specified data limit... The notifications are quite anoying, sometimes multiple 'warnings' within minutes.I have had to deactivate the feature completeley
- there is no native network file access (other than onedrive). This was overcome with an app called sharefolder explorer, but, even that wont run files from thier stored location, it first copys them locally, which means a delay before opening or streaming the file... Im yet to find a perfect solution.
- random shutdown glitches, on several occasions the phone has 'spazed out' once giving me a flickering green screen, once the phone locked the vibrate feature on, its appeared to go flat and switch off after a critical battery warning, only to turn itself on randomly almost an hour later, and a couple of times just randomly turned off or restarted.
It runs very hot when charging or working hard
Continuum to a ztec spro2 android projector has proven difficult to connect... It works fine when both devices are on the same wifi network, but if they arent the connection fails, and using the hotspot either from the 950xl or the spro 2 and connectig the seccond device the miracast connection also fails, which doesnt make sence as miracast is supposed to be a direct connection independant of the wifi network....
Now, where I discovered the true value of this phone, is when my pc blew its motherboard up...... My television screen was used by my computer as a display. By connecting my phone wirelessly to a wireless miracast dongle, the 950xl has become an almost perfect replacement for the pc...
A few things that reduce the experience are again the lack of integrated network access, and the sharefolder app wont work over continuum, so when accessing a network file it has to be done on the phone and 'beamed' to the screen... Same result, clumsy method.
Not all apps work with continuum. For example, netflix wont run, but you get around this by running netflix via edge... Agan, same result, clumsy integration.
Continuum allows to use the phone independantly of the offscreen desktop, but, you cant use for example netflix via browser on the bigscreen, and surf the web on ur phone at the same time because you can only use one browser window shared between both devices, or, bigscreen videos are paused if you use another media app on the phone screen..
Having audio from phone calls routed through the miracast device and movie audio stopped during a phone call is also irritating and could be implemented better
I used to remote desktop alot to my home pc, but, because of continuum, i now carry my pc everywhere, as my phone has become an acceptable pc replacement..
I am very rough with my phones, it would be nice if there was a droproof and waterproof case available, although, i have submurged my phone accidently and it still works, it did drain the battery at first and left me in suspense for a while
All the negatives asside, id buy another one if i lost this one in a heartbeat

Perez, 02 May 2016What I like about my Lumia 950xl and windows 10.
1. Windows hello allow you to sign onto your... moreUr wrong.
excel, word apps are worst apps on lumia 950xl.
We can't drag the table wherever we want in a document.
We can't resize the table.
We can't add flowcharts in a document.
We can't enable ruler.
Even we can't do those things using Microsoft's continuum feature.
When we can't create a simple document using continuum feature, then what is the use of microsoft's great continuum feature...?
Do you know microsoft's word, excel apps for IOS...???
In iOS word app we can drag the table wherever we want in a document and we can resize the table according to our wish.
We can add ruler in word app for iOS..
When Microsoft is not updating it's own apps on its own platform, then how come other third party app vendors will update there apps on windows 10 mobile platform...???
