The 950xl is a very good one. The problem is to know were Micosoft is going? Do they will continue on smartphones Market? Do they need that others manufacturers start to implement the OS they have to smartphones? Eaven knowing they are goig to lauch the surface smartphone ( with sd820 or the intel one) we still dont know what they are going to do!!!! This is the problem that Mr Nadela put us on!!!!!!

I am quite interested in this Phone, never had Windows 10 phone before.

Well, not exactly. They launched something called the bridge program. What it does is that it helps the app DEVELOPERS to quickly port over their apps from android or ios platform with minimal changes. They added an android sub-system which will help translate the operations in android to operations in windows. The case of ios is actually better, the ported app is actually more compatible.
Proof of this concept was candy crush saga (yes, it was missing from windows platform until recently). It's devs, King, used the ios bridge to port the ios version of their game over to windows platform, that too in a 'universal' app, which will work across all windows devices from mobiles to desktops.
TL;DR: It will make it easier for apps to jump in from ios and android
"- Windows 10 has no problems with mkv, and flash right? Whatsap...spotify etc? "
If I recall right, somebody tried playing mkv on the 950XL in the store and it was working fine. Either way, you do have VLC on windows platform ;) About whatsapp, it is available, so is spotify :) The whole "app gap" isn't as scary as some make it sound. What you can do is check the apps you actually need and search for them on the windows store. Worst case, if not the official app, you will find an awesome client for it :) Except for snapchat, they are useless piece of excreta. They blocked the client 6snap on windows platform.
Hope that answers your questions :)
Video files couldn't be managed on Wd 8.1 OS lumia 730, like grouping and subgrouping of different video categories into different folders eg:- music file, movies file, recorded marriage or birthday parties file, technical know how video file, YouTube video file etc...
Will it be possible on Wd10 OS ?

Furthermore I am really interested in this because of the HDR Mics (useful in Parties :) or recording Music and video ......I will be grateful for the 4 Mics :D and still the Iphone 6S still has mono recording only... funny..
I hope it will hit the stores before december :)
although I am said... cause the 659$ is converted to 699 Euro... which is ridiculous

Microsoft said Lumia 950(xl) can support micro SD card external storage of 2TB, that is when maker of SD cards can make it available. However, I guess the reason GSM arena said it supports 200GB because it is the highest storage capacity available at the moment.

Yasser, 19 Oct 2015it's 1.9 Actually, the aperture if f1.9. The sensor size is 1/2.4 or about 0.4 inches
I'm waiting for it, But I hope it will be dual sim. If not, I don't think I'm going to buy it. I hate to carry to phones. I have Lumia 730 but it is too slow. I also have Lumia 920 it was good but heavy and has one sim.

Best phone in my opinion, and this is coming from a Sony fan-boy. I'm gonna compare it to Z5P because it was going to be my next phone until I found out about 950xl. and why?
1. screen is bigger than z5p. 4k, in my opinion still not necessary.
2. Ram same as z5p so Note5 wins but I don't like Samsung. (no reason)
3. Camera I like both. I really like z5 cam but I see no shame in 950xl plus it has RGB flash
4. Apps. android wins. But I wanna give Microsoft another try. I don't heavy games.
5. Price. 950xl wins
6. I use surface and by all best tablet/comp than any tablets out there. I had ipad and z tablet
