Buy Lumia 900 now or wait for Windows Phone 8?

Link to backup what you just said?

There is no official source to they will be upgradable/not upgradable by Microsoft or anyone else. Nobody whatsoever.

If you think Microsoft is about to let off their little marketshare they have left, I'm sorry, but you're just wrong. They definitely won't be doing the same thing with Windows Mobile to Windows Phone again. Not for a long while will it happen.

Apollo For All Windows Smartphones

Bing around and prove (with an official source) that they will step into the same graveyard as Windows Mobile. Don't come in saying that they won't be upgradable, period.

Besides, Microsoft and Nokia are trying to have Windows Phone to not carry fragmentation.

If the 1st and 2nd gen devices don't receive the Apollo update, then fragmentation will be caused. They will definitely not go down this road.

And finally, Mango apps will run on Apollo.

So, hopefully, this is enough for you to realize that more than likely, they aren't dropping current gen devices. Get your sources, buddy.

With technology i personally feel it maybe foolhardy to wait if specific release dates are not announced. Thats the nature of the beast.. It will keep on evolving.

No one but Microsoft knows for sure what will happen with Apollo and the whole updating system. I really want the 900 but i'm kinda leaning more and more with waiting until more information is released about Apollo and the phones available then. But that 900 looks so sweet!!

Don't fear getting the Lumia 900. They really won't drop support for it in just 6 months of release. Of course it'll get Apollo! Along with other phones.. Besides, think about it, this is the one of the last devices to be made before Apollo. This phone would be Apollo-ready. Nokia and Microsoft definitely thought of that.
