I dont expect the 930 anymore. I would probably pre-order it in seconds but given a choice between the 930 end of april and wp8.1 developer preview week: I take the software
By the way, I tweeted Nokia US last night regarding the rumor of no 930 at Build. They just responded, though without really saying much. FWIW:
SIMO @hasasimo
@NokiaUS NokiaPowerUser is reporting that the #Lumia930 won't be announced at BUILD. Is this true? :'-(
Nokia USA @NokiaUS
@hasasimo No sad faces here! Stay posted for updates!
Not sure what does that reply mean, but it doesn't seem to point to something bad...
Yeah, I agree with you. It's almost as if the person managing that account doesn't even know for sure.

We still expect to see the Nokia Lumia 630 and Lumia 930 announced at the press event...

Hope it's true!
Excited!
But I find that 930 without WP8.1 hard to believe in.
It's a X30 series device, which indicates that it is meant for WP8.1 and not WP8.
Also, if the 930 can really run WP8 than it means that it probably doesn't have a processor better than the Snapdragon 800, as I don't think that WP8 is compatible with the 801 or better.
I find it tough to believe as well. If it debuts, I can't imagine it not having 8.1. Looks like NokiaPowerUser took the news and ran with it, saying the 930 could debut without 8.1... but the WP Central rumor simply said the ones being handed out might not have 8.1.

That deserved both a Like and a Thanks :excited:
And they posted this as well: "A second rumor also claims that the Lumia 930, but with Windows Phone 8, will also be handed to developers in attendance. We’ll have to wait and see."
*Fingers crossed*
The biggest issue is, all the devices that are released post Windows 8.1 will rely on the onscreen navigation keys, example Lumia 630 will have on screen navigation keys. So it will not have physical navigation keys. The same might be with Lumia 930. So if it doesn't come with Windows 8.1, how will the navigation keys work?
There's no reason to believe that "all devices that are releases post Windows 8.1 will rely on onscreen navigation keys..."
Disappointing that Glance isn't one of the features listed on the Nokia web page for the 930. Looks like that isn't being fixed.
