Sweet deal on Windows Phone Lumia 950XL / 950

Buy a Lumia 950XL and get a free Lumia 950. So I got the 950XL to replace my old but bullet proof Lumia 920 and the the wife got the 950.

Then for fun tonight when I taught my class on PID Controllers I used the 950XL and display dock to run my PowerPoint presentation on the theater screen. I could get used to showing up to do presentations carrying nothing but my phone.

Don't you have to carry the display dock too? I mean you can't use any generic dock, but only Microsoft's specific display dock for its phones?

I recently bought a Lumia 650. I've had top end Nokias and Blackberrys and this is my first Windows phone. I love the way the UI is almost the same as my desktop and I can simply plug it in and drag and drop files. Also, favourites, calendar, contacts, OneNote, OneDrive etc. all simply sync without any problems. The kicker is...only $200. from Microsoft Canada! More people should give the Windows 10 Mobile a look....it's good and gets updates frequently.

I had a client doing that 10 (or more) years ago with a Palm Pilot.

They had a display dock there, so all I did was toss my phone to the tech, he connected everything and then it was showtime!!

So they could have had a Microsoft display dock. Until this is standardized, you can't just assume a phone, even a Lumia, will work with whatever display dock they have. You need something else to be sure. And the wireless display adaptor would be better, it is much smaller than a dock.

Not always better, as in this case their projection system was a complex composite system that the wireless display adapter we had didn't work with, but worked great with the display dock.
