I'm moving back to Blu as a backup to my 1520. I just sold an ATT branded 830. The Win HD outdoes the SoC in that. And ATT is playing games with the updates. RM-983 doesn't even have full Denim, let alone Update 2 like Blu will have and Blu is guaranteeing Win 10 Mo.
If I can't get updated/upgraded on the RM-983 Lumia 830, there is no point in it for me. Without update the camera is beautiful, but I already have that on 1520 so...
I agree, Blu gives very solid value for the money. I don't think the community here fully realizes they are a nice alternative.
I bought the Blu to hold me out until Windows 10 Flagship. My Blu Win HD has gotten pretty bang up and with the sale, I could not say no.
And yes, people are underestimating BLU because it is not a "Lumia". Hopefully, BLU can infiltrate the market pretty well. They seem to be committed (Probably saw the opportunity and grasped it). I personally hope they do well!
The only thing I miss from Lumia is the glance screen
Oh and My Win HD was tough as a *beep*. This phone fell from all different heights and all different surfaces in all different ways and it is still going..... Much more than I can say for my two busted 920's and 1020 (busted.. changed the screen.. busted again) ...
I hope the Win HD LTE is just as tough!
I am really excited for the lighting capacitive button on the LTE. Though I read somewhere that they light up, but do no vibrate/haptic feedback . Can anyone confirm?
The reason I didn't get the deal from Microsoft Store is no orange. The orange that Blu uses is very cool. I almost got yellow, but my Beastly Unicorn is yellow.
B&H is an awesome supplier of Factory Unlocked handsets in the US and they ship to Canada hassle free.

My Blu Win HD is orange. So I got the yellow .
I'm not from Canada or the US. But thanks for the website
