Hi everyone,
Just recently purchased a Nokia Lumia 920 and a newbie to WP8.
What sold me to buy this phone was the update support timeline promised by Microsoft to WP8 phones that was extended to 36 months till 2016 (and maybe upgrade to WP9 if we're lucky :winktongue: ) and also the exclusive Nokia device updates like Amber, Biiter Sweer Shimmer (coming). Im also loving the refreshing OS UI as well not to mention the pureview camera and streaming music.
I was wondering after the recent acqusition of Nokia by Microsoft what will eventually happen to the existing Lumia phones and future line up:
1) The Lumia lineup will continue until maybe next year with Nokia exclusive updates side by side WP8 updates (Most Likely)
2) The Lumia lineup will change its naming scheme to fit in Microsoft future strategy but still work under the banner of Nokia for some time to come (Somwhat Likely)
3) The Lumia lineup will abruptly come to a end end of this year (that saying the Lumia 1520 probably the last of its kind) (Unlikely)
What's your take guys!
Ill be miffed if Microsoft decide to stop any Nokia exclusivity to it's Lumia devices and we get only WP8 update support like the rest .
Little features like glance clock go along way in making a device more useful in day to day usage. I'm not a person who wants updates for the sake of updates but you want your money's worth and good service.
Hope to spark an interesting discussion!
Many thanks for replies in advance!
