As mentioned in our previous article earlier today, Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are already available for purchase in Europe.

However, for the time being, they are only available at Dutch retailer Belsimbel, which offers the smartphones for €600 and €700 outright, respectively.

The good news is the retailer promises next day delivery and also adds a free Continuum dock in the sales package.

Since both smartphones are €100 more expensive than Microsoft's retail price, the addition of the Continuum dock doesn't cost the retailer anything.

Anyway, if you can't afford to pay the amount mentioned earlier and the shipping fees, then you can now pre-order the Lumia 950/950 XL if you live in one of the countries where Microsoft has already launched the smartphones.

As NPU points out, Lumia 950/950 XL are now available for pre-order in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, but they won't ship until late November.

Both smartphones are slightly more expensive than expected

According to the listing at Microsoft Store in the UK, Lumia 950 is available for pre-order for £450, while the Lumia 950 XL has been priced at £530. Both smartphones are expected to ship from December 3.

On the other hand, Microsoft Stores in France, Germany and Italy price the Lumia 950 at €600, while the Lumia 950 XL is listed at €700 outright. Both will ship from November 27, but there's no mention of Continuum dock in the sales package.

Last but not least, Lumia 950 is available for pre-order in the Netherlands for €600, whereas the Lumia 950 XL costs €700. The smartphones should start to ship on November 30.

So, if you can't wait for late November to get your hands on the Lumia 950/950 XL, you can purchase them from the Dutch retailer Belsimbel at the same price, but with a Continuum dock included.
