jonb: The 530 is being sold currently with only 4GB storage, is that main phone that would miss out? Even 520 has 8GB.
Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21
reven: The only Windows Phone I ever owned, the HTC 8S, had this problem, I couldnt even upgrade it without a full wipe due to tiny internal storage.
Really put me off buying a windows phone. the OS was great, but experience due to bad handset (well only real complaint about that handset, but its a big one) put me off.
Ragnor: I bet that the HTC 8X won't get WM10, not that I use it as a main phone anymore.
Longer term upgrade support for phones not direct from Apple, Microsoft or Google phone has proven (as expected) to be terrible. If you're not the type person who changes phone every 1-2 years then don't buy a phone Samsung, HTC, LG, Sony etc buy a Google Nexus, Apple iphone or Microsoft Lumia.
