Windows 10 for Phones will be out TODAY!

Okay, the sales of blood pressure medication will drop today.

Now, who's going to put this on their daily driver? Certainly not me.

Well so much about HTC 8S ever being supported. It clearly says on Microsoft's website "as long as they have at least 8 GB of storage".
But that is what I expected, and even if they never release it for this phone I won't be mad because when HTC decided to NOT update this phone, Microsoft pushed it all the way to 8.1.1. by themselves.

Win 10 I'll see you in 2 months when my contract is done and I get a new phone.:winktongue:

This slow preparation of installation is driving me crazy!
67% done

I can't believe my Lumia 920 is not there in the list

 

[noobchief]

A wave of disappointment I see, even my 820...

Those who got win10, can now make another thread.

If windowscentral thought abouses Gabe and Belfore were getting in last few days were excessive, they are gonna be proven wrong by the angry horde of high end lumias.

True considering I haven't gotten Denim and now no Win 10 lol. Apparently owning a low end/mid range device is becoming more beneficial.

Blog post regarding why high end devices were left out:

"Some context on why we chose these and not higher end phones like the 930/Icon or 1520: We have a feature that will be coming soon called “partition stitching” which will allow us to adjust the OS partition dynamically to create room for the install process to be able to update the OS in-place. Until this comes in, we needed devices which were configured by mobile operators with sufficiently sized OS partitions to allow the in-place upgrade, and many of the bigger phones have very tight OS partitions."

Well I guess as soon as I see somebody here confirm that the preview does indeed install on a AT&T L635 GoPhone, I'll be buying one at WalMart.

Guess that explains why they specifically say "and Windows Phone 8.1 was already installed on the phone at the time of purchase" as a requirement for this build.

Why, why, why......I'm so disappointed. If W10 runs on low-end lumias, why then not to be able to run on high-end devices. I think my lumia 1020 with it's 32 gb of storage and 2 GB of RAM is more than enough to be able to run it. Sometimes I think that the people in Microsoft have no idea what they are doing....

Because they're busy implementing a feature that only high-end devices need to do an in-place install.

I got the L625......i'm screwed

No you are not. You just need to wait a while.

  I CANNOT believe MS made us wait for this, played games with us, and then did not release this on more phones. And no flagships. Seriously.

  So let's see. My 830 does not qualify for some reason. I have a 635, thankfully. But I have 27 Windows Phone. And only ONE qualifies for WTP

So we've had the moaners (for not being on the list), now I'm waiting for the folks that are going to moan because their phones now don't work after the upgrade...
