Amazon UK and France are the latest retailers to halt sales of Lumia 950 XL [Update]

Update: Amazon UK has started selling the Lumia 950 XL again.

Original story: The black version of Microsoft's Lumia 950 XL smartphone is no longer being sold directly by Amazon UK and France. The retailer's listings for the 5.7-inch Windows 10 Mobile device both offer a rather vague reason for the decision to pull the smartphone from sale.

Here's what the Amazon UK site stated, which is in line with the message on the Amazon France listing:

"While this item is available from other Marketplace Sellers on this page, it's not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are dispatching it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!).""We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you may still find this product available from other sellers on this page."

Amazon Germany recently pulled the Lumia 950 XL from its website temporary as well, and the UK-based Carphone Warehouse also placed the phone under pre-order again in late December, with shipments due later in January.
