Finally got down to the MS store in Century City to check out the new phones.
They do not feel cheap, they're comfortable to hold, and work fine.
the 950 XL felt snappier opening camera app and in general, not sure if that's normal.
did not like the 950 XL buttons, feel too recessed, and the layout is annoying.
Bought a 950 with MS complete for mom since their return is end of January for holidays
Yeah it's no design masterpiece like my 920 was, but it doesn't feel cheap, and you have access to your battery and expandable storage. WIN WIN. Phone is thin and lightweight too
Goddam sales dude thought only the 950 XL worked with Continuum, had to correct him in front of customer lol. dude also didn't know how about contacts/message backup app an old geek was asking about for his 920. That old dude was so sweet tho he was super into the tech!! hope he gets a 950 but he said he might hold off for Surface Phone <3 so adorable
Surprisingly lots of traffic, I wish the sales reps knew half as much as I did tho, the bullshit being spouted was cringeworthy >_>
