re:

You will be able to get Windows 10 on your PC later in 2015, but no word on the Windows Phone version yet. We can only assume around the same time.

Yes your phone will get Windows 10(It will no longer be windows phone). I think it will get released alongside the Windows 10 version of the PC.

I think there is absolutely no chance the phone version will be released at the same time as the PC version. Have people already forgotten the carriers, OEM slackness and the general slowness of update rollouts which is now the hallmark of WP? If anything I would bet the phone version wont be seen before Holiday 2015.

I think people have forgotten about the Apple way - release it all at once!

To my understanding, the 'phone version will be the same OS, with the desktop removed (and a few other tweaks) and I cannot see a reason why it would be delayed by any great deal of time, excepting the carriers dicking around like they always do.

That might be true, but the DP will still push it out. Hopefully the vote for DP to include firmware will actually happen.

I suspect this is basically, another do-over for the mobile OS side of things.

Many apps needed to get updated to 8.1 as it is; I suspect most will need to be completely re-written for Windows 10 for ARM.

Another app gap.

I'm also dubious that Windows 10 is going to run well on the Lumia 920 and 520, the two largest selling Windows Phone devices.

Kidding me.

Very easily done when the only manufacturer of devices is well apple! If you have ever coded, which I doubt, you would know random bugs can pop up on devices even when they have never shown up on dozens of other devices. This takes time and a lot of testing. If you make everything in house its quite easy.

I would be very surprised if there's any public preview of the phone version before it goes to RTM. Remember, the DP of 8.1 came out just after the RTM.

And for those of you who want firmware in the DP, realize that that's just going to make it come later, since it takes time after RTM before the firmware's ready, regardless of which OEM we're talking about. Doing extensive development before the OS is final and they have something to test against would be risky and potentially expensive.
