Still No Mention of a Flagship?

I thought for sure MS would take the opportunity of this Build to make some kind of acknowledgement that they were at least working on a top end phone...didn't really expect a lot of detail regarding availability of said device, but apparently I was wrong. I know this Build is mainly for devs but c'mon who wants to develop without knowing that there will be a device that might attract a lot of interest from the avid phone people. MS has yet to introduce a flagship and they have had plenty of time. I am really glad anticipated their antipathy towards a high end phone and recently got a 1520 before they are all gone. I love the windows phone os and everything going on in software development in general but the real reason I joined this site was because of the phones, which continue to be treated as an after thought by MS
 
It is indeed bizarre. Satya's mantra of "cloud first, mobile first" seems to only relate to services, not devices. Which is a shame.
 
They had said many times flagships in the fall/late summer when windows 10 hits RTM, and //BUILD/ is for developers (and enthusiasts) not the general public and device announcements. But we will hear more on the mobile space of things at keynote 2 tomorrow.
 
I think the Continuum piece demonstrates that, while nothing specific was announced, there will be one hell of a device - or devices - coming down the pike.
 
Still 2 days to go...
Someone at build will hear something then leak a rumor for tease purposes.
 
I am holding out some hope for just that sort of announcement or leak ...after all they have used this stage to announce devices as recently as last year
