With the announcement that the L830 is at EOL and at&t's unwillingness to push out the Full Denim upgrade, who thinks that at&t will provide the Windows 10 upgrade for this phone?
The 830 due AT&T's support of it, have been a huge disappointment.
And with the rumor that the 950XL won't be available through at&t,
fixed
and RumoredNow, I saw that, but the second I thought about it, my wallet decided to play hide-and-seek.
RumoredNow, I can appreciate what you are saying but I shouldn't have to turn my phone into a different version of that phone just to get proper updates and support.
And with the rumor that the 950XL won't be available through at&t, I'm beginning to have doubts about staying with Windows phones at all. I don't want to do that but I feel like I'm being pushed in that direction. Phones are way too expensive anymore to buy unlocked, unbranded.
And you know, VZW and T-Mo ditched the subsidy so I'm thinking the situation may change, since the price not being upfront doesn't necessarily mean there's no price at all.
Where did we hear this? I wouldn't have sold the 930 had I heard this. Guess I'll hang onto the 1520 for sure then.

Well, service providers shouldn't be able to block updates anyway. (see the Android update/security issue)

I agree that carriers shouldn't be allowed to block updates but they are and the L830 seems to be taking a big hit from AT&T.

i don't know about poorly built, as i only had it a month, but like the build/feel so far.
overpriced at msrp? yes.
underpowered? compared to a 930 or 1520, sure. compared to the 920 i came from, it's very similar to me.
And I still think it was and is a very generous offer.Sorry man, not trying to cause anyone any stress. Just trying to help a brother.
OS wise, i could understand why AT&T would sit on things, but firmware should be pushed regardless by the manufacturer.
