Hi guys,
I'm too am a 920/925 owner and I'm dispappointed with Microsoft position.
My biggest doubt for now is: staying win WP8.1 eventually all apps will be pre-historical since devs are pushing for UWP and not WP specific coding.
Microsoft Maps for example will it ever be updated by Microsoft in WP8.1 to stay equal as W10m app?
If we move to the insider build, at least to get W10m, will apps be updated even if we are not able to go to Redstone build or will they become outdated aswell?
I like Windows Phone much much more than iOS or Android but if the 2 phones I have will become "bricks" in a short time, I'm out of Windows ecossystem...
Best regards.
Sorry if my english is bad, not my main language.
If that was the thing why did they announce it at the beginning that everyone would get it. Now they announce at the end that its only for some devices when everyone was hoping for official rollout.. And its not just old phones with old hardware.. Icon and m8 are left out too.. W10 not running properly on old hardware is an excuse.. I use 720 and i have only 2 issues- freezing and 'loading' while opening sys apps like phone,messaging which can be fixed with a couple of updates. W10 is total BS.. If their not giving all the insider preview phones then w10 is a big fail and i wish it fails and WP dies for what they did to us
For the complainers out there ask yourself how many 3 year old Android handsets will be be getting Android N?
My wife has a Galaxy Note 3 and her phone has only just got Android 5.1.
With this move we don't trust MS anymore. Better go to other platform, that even without updates, have the same apps and a lot of more features than WP8.1.What really amazes me is when people say they gonna switch platform because MS won't upgrade their phone to Win10. If you want Win10 so bad on your phone why don't you buy a new phone with Win10 instead of a new android phone or iphone?
My girlfriend has an Moto G since 2013 and even on 4.4 she can use the new Office apps that W10M has.For the complainers out there ask yourself how many 3 year old Android handsets will be be getting Android N?

Dont be so condescending. The difference here is Microsoft themselves initially said ALL WP devices would get W10M, .
I feel that M$ currently f**k up me with no official WM10 update for L920/L925. First, they said that all Lumia will get an update, later we received test versions and now withdrew from it. No logic and rational explanation for this situation.
Dont be so condescending. The difference here is Microsoft themselves initially said ALL WP devices would get W10M, allowed many devices to enroll in the insiders program but only now is saying many of those phones wont get an upgrade. If they had been more forthright and communicated more clearly what their plans were people would have had more realistic expectations regarding an update but telling them right when the upgrade is released that they wont get it is the worst thing they could have done. They basically gave people false hope for almost a year then took it away and seem to have played them for fools. THAT'S the problem, IMO and while i have a 1020 and dont actually want W10 on it I can fully understand why people are pissed with yet another stupid, moronic move by the incompetent management at Microsoft.
