Microsoft has sign 6 or 7 new and former customers back to Windows Phone(WP). WP is now complete free to all phone manufacturers similar to that offered by Google's Android. So possibly in August or so; there should be plenty of middle to new high end WP8. If I recall correctly; Microsoft kind of suggest getting carrier marketing to sell their phones. If this is true; and the phone manufacturers go through the carriers; I am going back to Apple's iPhone 6!
