I posted a similar thread in another forum regarding constantly having to get the very latest release of a new phone.
While I understand this, it makes more sense to me to find a phone that works for you, and stick with it for a while milking as much productivity out of it as you can.
To me, it's like buying a new car every year, VS driving your car for as long as you feel it is efficient for you and THEN trading it in on a new one.
Friends of mine stand in line for the newest iPhone. They camp overnight. Yuck. I bought a used iPhone 4s after the 5 came out so I could try and iPhone at a fraction of the cost.
What semi-attracted me to WP8 was that I read that you were theoretically going to get upgrades to WP8 without having to upgrade. I guess that's going to be dependent on hardware capability some day, but theoretically, this appealed to me.
I hate chasing my tail with technology. Heck, I had a BlackBerry 9780 for over four years because it simply worked great for my needs.
So, I'm hoping WindowsPhone is the same way, but with good upgrades. Hopefully it will not be "Legacied" before I get to fully milk it for all the productivity it is worth.
