Deal: Microsoft Lumia 950 XL priced at $499 with free Display Dock and other freebies

If you've been holding out to get the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL until a good deal on the handset rears its head, then today is the day! Microsoft is currently selling the Lumia 950 XL for $499. That's down from the regular price of $649 and Microsoft will also throw in a bunch of other goodies with the handset.

Remember that Microsoft promotion from several weeks ago that allowed Lumia 920, Lumia 925, and Lumia 1020 owners to trade in their phone in exchange for a $150 discount on the Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL? Well, that deal is still active, and Microsoft's website notes that you can combine the two offers, which means that you'll be able to get the Lumia 950 XL for just $349 if you trade in one of the Lumia handsets listed above.

Furthermore, Microsoft is currently offering a free Display Dock with any purchase of the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. The unique accessory is what enables the cool Windows 10 Mobile 'Continuum' feature and is usually priced at $99.

Other freebies include two free audiobooks for Audible, as well as a free year of Office 365 Personal (usually priced at $69.99). Note that Office 365 Home subscribers are not eligible for the free year of Office 365 Personal.

Aside from the $150 discount, all of the other deals are available for the smaller Microsoft Lumia 950 as well. Bear in mind, however, that the Lumia 950 XL now costs $499 while the smaller Lumia 950 costs $50 more.
