Microsoft's polycarbonate flagships are out of step with the industry, but that should not matter to true fans - WMPoweruser

Hey guys I have to admit that when I first saw the rumored flagships I was pretty disappointed and uninspired to say the least. I came over to Android after being with Windows Phone since the beginning. Honestly the Android experience is very good and surely good enough that I could stay with the OS despite a few nagging issues(#1 being parts of a particular OS update being optional and not guaranteed ex.RAW capture,manual focus, and shutter speed being available to all OEMs yet not being implemented in all phones running Android Lollipop and even new flagships). I was looking to come back to Windows 10 Mobile this fall and after reading this article it really sounds credible and sheds a light on perhaps why we're getting these instead of the dreamy "Surface Phone". Also I feel like they may be saving such a coveted device for what is expected to be a mature time of the OS(the app recompiler efforts should be in full effect by then-May/June). I'm just speculating here. But the rumored date for the launch ,rather that is actual availability or an announcement, according to Evan Blass is scheduled for October 10 or 10/10. I hope this date is correct but I'm not 100% sold(90% though) since this date falls on a Saturday. Either way we should know something soon as Microsoft cannot simply continue to wait around while flagships are actually being launched and sold. Time is of the essence. So here's hoping for 10/10!
