Hi Guys, i'm planning to buy a windows phone....i was wondering is there a chance that windows phone 8 will not be receiving future(GDR3 & windows phone blue) updates like windows phone 7.5 did not receive the widows phone 8 update? if yes should we wait till November to buy a new windows phone?

WP8 will receive GDR3 and Blue,

the Kernal has been rewritten up and based on Windows NT kernal.

The GDR updates and "Blue" are only point releases (Blue will be WP8.1). I've seen rumours that current WP8 devices will be able to run WP9, but that's unsubstantiated.

1. It's kernel, with an e.
2. Yup. Yay for Windows NT!
