Save around £65 buying this phone from Amazon France, as opposed to Microsoft. Great deal if you're after this phone, and this one is also dual sim. Currently £529.99 from Microsoft (single sim). The price includes delivery, which should be around the beginning of December or late November

Great price for this 'phone. Been an avid Windows phone user for the past 3 years, and the solidly built Lumias really are good.

This will be my first Windows phone, expecting great things from it.

Indeed you will, already checked this. The offer is currently valid in the UK, France & Germany with the USA & Canada to follow.

If you are a Windows user then you should find it easy. It operates fairly seamlessly with Win 10 and Onedrive.

I'm still gonna wait for next year when they get the ecosystem going, it'll take awhile for them to catch up but hopefully with Windows 10 and Universal apps, they'll get there at last and do it much quicker than they have been.
I think the Surface Phone will come next year and be their true big push, this year is just the left overs from Nokia that they had to make work. I do think they're rather unimpressive, just on par with Android offerings and the 808/810 are terrible chips that will age so quickly when the 820 comes out. It's just the fact that the 808 is really a dual core that only has a single core speed of 1000, that's vs the iPhone 6s which is 2500. The 810 just gets throttled within seconds to 900mhz in phones we've seen so far, the water filled heatpipes do help, but as we see in the Xperia phones, they only help a little bit, the heat has nowhere to go and they still get throttled down quite badly. We'll see the same with these phones :\
I wish they would go for either an Atom chip, their own, Nvidia or Samsung's.

Could you also post the benchmarks for the lumia 950 xl, particularly where it shows the "throttling"? Thanks.
