Windows 10 Mobile eligible devices list has batches of devices receiving the update

[Jack Neill]

I'm surprised about the Lancet, I thought Verizon wanted WP and it was the evil MS that wouldn't play ball....

Seems like the best solution is just use Insider app and go to 10 and bypass the carrier all together

i hope they move l730 out of limited set(to batch 2 maybe)... seriously l730 limited set??? WTH????:angry:

I hope WP 8.1 stays viable for at least another year.

 

[Zeem Frostmaw]

Batch 1 and 2 make sense at least.

 

[ashram]

some strange items in this list, like the Windows Phone 7.5 phones or phones that were cancelled before release.

List makes sense from Microsoft's stance. It's up to phone manufacturers and carriers. Which initially does suck for more recent devices like the Lancet.

Pretty sure if a phone OEM isn't tied to a carrier, an upgrade to 10 is up to them.

IF the phone is tied to a carrier, then it sucks to be on that carrier right now as it's up to then to approve it (cough, verizon, cough)

I am just so excited my 1520 is in batch one, oh hang on I have been on 10 for months, but wait, at least my wife's 830 is on the list, bugger, upgraded to 10 when 10586 came out, but wait my lads 930 is also up there, but he is being a luddite and refusing to go from 8.1 to 10 on any device apart from his Xbox One just to wind me up.

Are there still people using 8.1 apart from my boy?

Yeah, I'm still on 8.1. I like it and don't want to risk an upgrade screwing up the camera (1020), have read lots on here that suggests 10 is buggy on the 1020. Not sure what I'll do when the official upgrade comes. My 2yr old 1020 is in batch 2, my 2mth old 435 will only get limited features, but I suspect I will stick with 8.1 on the 435.

I've been using the Insider app for a while now and it's performing very well. If you really want to use Win 10 mobile that's your best bet. At least we have an insider option.

I finally got fed up and installed the insider app on Friday on my 640 t-mo. A few minor problems, but got them all fixed now.

 

[Alexander Long]

Yeah, first batch. And I hope Microsoft push the upgrade directly like what they did to Lumia 950/XL, so screw Carriers like Rogers

I know, saw McLaren(codename) here, kind of interesting

I guess MS trying to deliver the upgrades directly without involvement of carriers now, so there be no(less) carrier customized/specified device

It would be but, to really get the FULL Windows 10 mobile experience you need to have carrier approval to address network issues in the FIRMWARE.

The biggest problem with the preview program from users IS battery life hands down. This needs to be taken care of software wise but, also firmware wise with out it, It's just a preview program....

More than a handful I would say , myself included - predominately due to the battery drain is significantly higher for me on WM10 as opposed to 8.1. I have to recharge my phone 2 to 3 times a day now. I'm debating whether to get the 550 as a hold over test device or get a replacement battery.

In regards to the eligibility list, it sucks for the owners who officially won't get the update (Wp8.1 phones). It would have been easier to recommend the insider preview if the windows device recovery tool was able to flash these devices.

Edit:
To clarify I'm not saying 8.1 is a battery drain, far from it. Those who have read my posts know I have had my 920 since Nov 2012; so yes the battery has taken a fair amount of beating. So it stands to reason it doesn't have much long left lol. The phone over all is still in good nick bar some scuffs on the screen.

 

[scandiskwindows9x]

just hope be an bad joke the Lumia 820 no eligible list in such case neither the 920 would be eligible and neither the variants of the 820

 

[AQUIB RASHID]

Going to sell my Lumia 535 and will buy any android phone.Because I cant understand whats in the mind of microsoft officials.my Lumia 535 (limited) and my Lumia 525 with dual core processor in second batch.lol

 

[GrayW0lf]

I can't believe that my Lumia 900 won't get the upgrade! (Yes, this is a joke. )

Because any android phone will get Windows 10 before the Lumia 535? Seems easier just to use Insider to me.

It sucks that MSFT failed to deal with Samsung....The ATIV S family is more capable than those lumia 4/5 family and my ATIV S is running well under 10586.29 with registry hack
