I've read all over the place people saying 'buy the latest version' or 'wait for the next version'. How do I know if the phone I am looking at online is the latest version or not?
The 930 is arguably a downgrade as it doesn't have expandable memory :wink:
I think the point has been missed. obviously different phones are different. What I thought was the case, and now disproven, is that each model (say the 930) had a number of versions. So when people say they want the 930 and another says "get the latest version" I assumed that maybe there were a number of releases of the 930, and therefore you should get the newest version, which may have firmware/hardware tweaks. Clearly not.
None of this affects my purchase however, so I can be confident that if I buy a Lumia xxx I will get the same Lumia xxx as everyone else (in my region, at least)
