Sure, I can do it myself but it won't be the 100% right thing to do.
Because it will lack specific hardware tweaks and drivers.
So I really don't want to do that.
Meanwhile there are different Nokia phones which got it.
Before the HTC 8x, I had a Samsung Focus. It never got the 7.8 update.
I had to do it manually by some hacks.
So why would I ever want to buy a non-Nokia phone?
Makes no sense to me.
You don't have to.
Last quarter of the over 300M phones only 7M were WP. Of that 7M about 5M were Nokia phones. So, 2M folks bought non-Nokia phones. If just 10 percent of those users each created a post complaining about why they don't want to buy Nokia phones we would all lose our minds.
Just weigh what's important to you and let that drive your decision. As you can see from the numbers I just gave you, no matter how good a phone is, it never gets 100% adoption. There will still be people that won't buy it.
