I was just wondering if anyone has a gut feeling on whether Microsoft will have a successor to the 1520 out in the next 5-6 months? When I got my 1520 back in February, I signed up for the 12 month Next program with AT&T figuring a top-end windows phone would come out at least yearly. With no announcements that I can find, I'm starting to worry that February will roll around and my 1520 will still be king of the hill.
My feeling is that with the low to mid range lumias that have been recently announced, we're getting to the end of what Nokia had in its pipeline before the Microsoft acquisition. It's bringing back some memories for me of when HP bought Palm and the Pre missed an entire hardware cycle and then died off. I'm not saying that's entirely the case here as Microsoft is obviously much better equipped to deal with this than HP was, just straight up buying a phone maker and not having any direction. What do you guys and gals think?
