Hmmm, also disabled a few things like motion and some apps I don't want running in the bg. Deleted a few old apps. Normalish usage, hello etc still on and 47% after 11ish hours. Much better than the last couple of days.
Hopefully it holds or gets better.

There's a phone update bug for the 950 XL. Some have been able to download windows insider and get the update while others can't. I'm unfortunately in the latter group. :/
You don't need the insider app for this update.
Was there for my gf (I already had the update through insider). Might take a while to show up.

I'm not in the Insider right now but I got the update (it's in progress now).

So why the hell didn't I get a dock code when I bought my 950 Day 1 from ATT?

They're back in stock and I ordered one 4-6 weeks delivery.
And sorry, I did try to clarify the dock with the 950 seemed to only be for the Nordic countries.

So I've said goodbye to Windows Phone and hello to Android (S6 Edge +l) and I'm not missing it. It's nice to have access to everything. And the MS apps perform better over here. Mental. Will come back for Surface phone perhaps.

I had jumped to the Blackberry Priv. Big Mistake.
Had I jumped to the Note 4, maybe.

I can't read
The Edge devices are sexy phones.

Samsung devices are amazing when you first get them, let's talk in a few months after you've installed a bunch of apps.
Not with lollipop. A nightmare.

Man it seems lot of people saying good bye to WP
Will be using my 1520 for the foreseeable future, great device.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
Was able to add the 950 xl to my shopping cart on the MS store website, but it crapped out saying it was out of stock when I tried to finalize the order. Feels bad.

This news actually has me convinced to buy a Lumia 950 for my mom, seems the 950 is fairly decent hardware wise and the camera is top tier.
If this means the software can get updated without bottlenecks then I feel good about these new phones!

I think I'm staying forever. I love the OS that much.

I'm waiting for a price drop. Too many purchases recently to justify an XL when I have soooooo many phones (10?). Also, my cats are so intrigued by my new Roomba.
Placed my order for a Nexus 6P yesterday - likewise, hopefully I'll be back for Surface Phone next year.

Agreed.
Another thing they should address is undo/redo as a system wide thing. I always worry not having that functionality when editing onenote notes on my phone. And it's all the more jarring, because the mobile app for desktop does have it.

My mom loves windows phone more than I do, lol. You know how it is with most people, they want to stick with what they are familiar with. I was able to restore her backup and she was very happy that she doesn't really have to learn anything new. My only worry was updates, and we are off to a good start there.

Yes, works well.
I don't think that anyone has yet answered my question as to what about a "Surface" phone will make you return to Windows Phone.
The design? If you care about design, you would hardly get a Nexus 6P.
More powerful hardware? It's not like the 950 is a slouch, it's as powerful as the competition.
x86 apps? What for, exactly? Those that want x86 apps on a portable device have a windows tablet, anyway (you know, the Surface).
An improved app ecosystem? heh
The question is, what is so unpalatable about the 950 apart from a slightly bland design? What will a Surface phone do that this phone (or a successor based on it) doesn't?
The answer is fuck all, imo. If you want to feel pumped or magical or want to use something we think you're going to love, there's another option.

WP keyboard continues to be best in class. I was typing a non mainstream UFC fighter's first name and it suggested his last name. Pretty amazing.

The Surface represents a true in-house Microsoft product. Not a Nokia Lumia phone rebranded as a Microsoft product.
A Surface Phone, in theory, would be a product with Microsoft's full commitment. No blaming Nokia or anyone else.

*Surface RT grumbles*
Design and the hope that by the time the phone launches WM10 will be in a better state.

Well take the term "Microsoft's full commitment" with a grain of salt.

According to Windows Central, they were able to bypass carrier process for 10586.29 because the radio stack is essentially "black boxed" in Win10 Mobile, so OS updates do not touch anything in the radio stack. Given that, they should be able to continue to do regular OS updates bypassing carriers.
On a personal device note, my 1520 unfortunately still cannot update Win 10 builds. I was never able to update builds after MSFT said the updating issues that required rollback was fixed, and I still cannot. Getting the same update error trying to install 15086.29 (from 15086.11). Is this is known issue with 1520's, specifically I have the unlocked 1520.3?

That's pretty cool.

I have a 1520.2 and can update just fine, so it is weird you can't.

Ditto.
Also, I'm disappointed in the MS Store 12 days of deals promotion so far. I haven't seen anything for Groove Music. They had it last year for more than half off.
