Though this is true, I agree with Victoroos. Why spin the flagship affordability when you're starting with a device lacking all you're now supporting internally. I feel they over played it and left (and will leave) more than a good few wondering either, "why start hamstrung? I'll buy a Moto G at 200 and get all Android has" or "This is Microsoft's 'flagship'? Yea, I'll stick with my [other flagship], thankyouverymuch".
I don't mean to so easily join the rest of the shouting squad on this device, I also think yea, minus the processor, everything else sounds like my dream of what I wanted from a 930. I may still try to pick it up, particularly if the US price has it at say 249 (or lower if deals?) But again, even something like the new moto g or htc desire is sounding a lot more tempting. And Apple hasn't even come out with their flagship flagship yet, and once they do, this will be like all prior years: MS's event quickly swallowed up by every news station and their grandma talking about Apple (who do make solid and great devices). That said, I know MS know's it's not on the end to be making a 600$ phone. As much as they want to be that handset, they are acutely aware, I'd wager, that the demand would not balance out for a solid 1030 with exciting experiments. So for now, they play it safe, but still.........
Anyway, here I'll stay for now, but I worry about the platform's growth sincerely.
but all the rest is amazing, i still don't know if buying it is a smart choice
