Re: SURVEY: Who has got a non updating Lumia phone? A 1020 for example!
So it's Grant's fault we're not getting it!
Just kidding. I decided to install the slower than slow ring insider build on my 1020 on Thursday, before the official news broke that it would never officially get it. While I was annoyed like everyone else earlier in the day, I began to see why WM10 wasn't a great fit on the 1020. It was choppy, slow. By Saturday, Cortana would crash with each search. Battery life was abysmal, draining from moderate usage in like four hours.
I didn't really want to because there's so much talk of a Surface Phone coming, but I pulled the trigger on a 950. It's only $450 right now. I figure I can sell my 1020 now and the 950 if something more appealing comes this fall, but I wish there were more options. It was one thing to feel betrayed by their disclaimer that every WP8 phone will get upgraded, but it's also an issue that there are so few upgrade options available. If they want us to move on, we need something to move on to.
Of course, the 1020 Cortana crashing issue went away Sunday after I put in the 950 order. Not sure what was up with that, but I suppose it's still time to (reluctantly) move on.
