Nope... I'm going to pretend I know and say next week Tuesday.

EDIT: May have to just start watching all the TH2_Release builds here: https://buildfeed.net/lab/th2_release/

29th is still the rumored date. However if it is I'd say Blu about 2 weeks after

Microsoft said the Lumia Mexico was wrong with that date, so I would just ignore it

When did they say that? Do you have a source? BTW I think you are right to say that we should ignore the Mexican date, it's just that Microsoft has been so quiet on this matter that a denial of a roll-out date would be news to me.

My how things have gone quiet on the Blue forums, everyone holding their breath waiting for ........

My HD LTE is boxed and ready to ship...

I moved to Lumia 640 for a backup. I'm running Insider Release Preview (10586.107)and enjoying it. Had the phone a week, had W10M 6 days and using it for my daily. Shakedown cruise is going very well.

I still peek in here. If BLU pushes W10M out to this device I'll upgrade it. It would be interesting to see 10 on a 3rd party OEM.

The Alcatel runs it really well. When it hits Blu Win HD LTE, I'm going back to my Blu for a while (if the multitouch issue is fixed)

So, is there a way to install any of preview versions on BLU? (especially the Europe version)

 

[hajisavvas]

At the moment there is no way to install any preview versions on any BLU windows phone, US or EU. Microsoft is not officially supporting BLU phones for preview builds. Do a search online for "Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview" to see a list of the officially supported phones. Since the official release of Windows 10 Mobile by BLU is possibly around the corner I doubt that any BLU phones will be supported for the Windows Insider Program before that. However Microsoft has recently added support for the US version of BLU WIN HD LTE in the Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

"around the corner..." optimism misplaced. 12 months on from original announcement, nearly 6 months on from first suggested launch. It is a bit like the donkey being led by a carrot, always out of reach, as was always probably intended.

If you are going to quote me at least quote exactly what I said. I said "possibly around the corner" and that's based on my own estimation. I didn't claim to know the exact release date. Facts were different 12 or even 6 months ago. A lot happened since.

Oh dear. Yet another case of criticism blindness.

I read your post properly, and you were non commital, which at present is the way to go. As you said, the 'possibly' around the corner, which I guess was referring to the Blu series.

Once again, post skimming, and blog skimming seems to be the norm these days.

A suggested launch does not mean it WILL be launched with the time frame given. There are only three things that are certain. You are born, you pay taxes, you die.

I maybe wide of the mark here, but...maybe things have slowed due to the somewhat unexpected uptake by OEM's. I would guess that these manufacturers, who somewhat surprisingly took on a so called 'dead' platform, have had a large hand in testing as well, along with those who have invested in 10 mobile release devices. The latest insider build, .107, is pretty close, just needing some spit and polish. The new Redstone branch has been pretty good on second build.

I have discovered that, with age, comes patience,and good things come to those who wait. I'm no programmer, but I would imagine that offering the OS for free to older devices takes more than a couple of lines of code.

And finally, posted via Windows Central app using a 950xl, running 10 mobile, not android ;-)

How sad ;-(

Microsoft's Gabe Aul has said in a blog post that BLU Win HD W510U and BLU Win HD LTE X150Q are now officially supported for the Windows Insiders Program. No luck for the European variant X150E yet. Anyone updated their X150Q yet?
