What can we know about WP 8.1 Blue so far?
It will be the only one major update until WP9 like Mango was for Windows Phone 7 ?(NoDo, Tango and WP7.8 were minor update IHMO)

I don't think we are going to see WP9 any time soon. Probably just when W9 comes out. The strategy now seems to be having the same OS for more time but with faster and better updates. So I think we are going to receive WP8.1/8.2/8.3/etc, along W8.1/8.2/8.3/etc in the following years.

While I agree it'll be in lock step with Windows, I wouldn't expect it to go too far past 8.1 (or maybe 8.2) before we hit 9. They will throw away too much money on the Windows side if they keep the free updates going for so long, unless they manage to push us all towards some sort of subscription plan.

That would means that WP8 will be not upgraded to WP9, right?

Since the lack of upgrade path from WP7.5 to WP8 was a unique situation, it shouldn't be considered unlikely that WP8 devices that come out relatively soon before WP9 would be allowed to upgrade. Whether current WP8 phones are or not would most likely depend on when WP9 itself comes, and I foresee WP9 and W9 releasing together since the organizational shakeup at Microsoft has led to more mergence between those two departments.
