Huawei dumped Windows Phone, now what?

[Ryan ODonnell]

Now that Huawei has ditched Windows Phone, I have a feeling we won't get any official firmware for Windows Phone 8.1!
Not complaining much, but Huawei is leaving us in the dust and their lack of support for WP is bad anyway!

The developer preview works fine, just no official firmware for us Huawei-Windows Phone users

I also own a Nokia Lumia 630, so I don't have to rely on official firmware

Huawei issued a statement about Windows Phone not allowing any creativity from the OEM, while that is somewhat right they still shouldn't have abandoned their phones. Sad.

This kinda means we're stuck with MicroSD problem then in 8.1/GDR1.
I can live with it simply because compared to Android the amount of times I have to reboot my phone is minimal.

It's a shame, I think it's a nice little budget mobile.

Hey Ryan, how long did it update the phone?

Hi,
Is there any way, at this point, to load 8.1 on the W1?

You can sign up for the developer preview

I read that Microsoft ended the developer preview for the W1.
