Hey guys,
So im looking to purchase the lumia 950, but for $999 in AUS i was looking elsewhere. I found it at bhp video for preorder for the dual sim (not sure why you need 2 sims) for $549US + $17US postage which brings it to around $800AUD. Around a saving of $200.
Only catch is this is a preorder and im not sure what the ETA is, i would say around 20th of December (released in australia on the 8th).
Suitable to 4g here in OZ. Comes in black or White and can get the 950xl.

    The old wp7 ones you mean?

    The matte polycarbonate type… looked decent for there time but would have prefered a recessed screen or slightly different to the original.

  So many times have I seen the hardware specs of a WP phone yet for some reason only to be disappointed by the handling of the complete package.

  If there is a true windows based mobile that will run everything as a desktop then that's the day I'm interested, as for now my laptop and Android handset do it fine but would like to have both rolled into one.
  But again I yo want a keyboard,mouse and monitor where ever you go you either need to take one or take a laptop.

      Have you? You think it's worth it? Or just wait for official release?

        I chucked it on my 432 just to see what it was like. I have so many windows phones. Windows 10 is really nice on the phone but its not compete, wait a month for the official release.

  1/2.4" sensor is the largest sensor on a phone that I have seen.

    Ehhh that's actually pretty common these days

    Same as Moto X Style, smaller than Nexus 6P.

    Sensor is only 1 aspect of great smart phone photography - a lot of it is software optimisation, which explains how apple devices are still some of the best despite on paper having smaller sensors, no OIS etc.

  The US variant won't be fully compatible with all the 4G bands we have here.

  Dual-SIM capability doesn't add much value in Australia because the current crop of dual-SIM devices only do 2G on the 2nd SIM.

  Review:
  http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/20/9767266/microsoft-lumia-9…

  TLDR:
  Not worth it compared to a Lumia 640 or an android/ios flagship. Overpriced without the app ecosystem to back it up
  Continuum is overrated in its current state, with only niche usefulness
  Windows phone has no/poor quality apps
  OS is fine and smooth if you don't care about apps, but then just buy a $200 Lumia 640…

    Considering The verge have quite the bias against windows phone, it's hard to take their review too serious. Though there are still points other sites agree on.
