You know they have the preview for "developers" program, right? You can get the latest version right away.

Developers is in quotes because MS knows that 95% of people that use this program aren't developers but just enthusiasts. It's their way of bypassing carriers and OEMs and getting pre-release updates to enthusiasts ASAP. It's pretty awesome.

I'm already on 8.1 update 1 on my 1020. 8.1.1 comes on the M8 officially though.

That M8 looks nice and I like the dot view case integration. I'd seriously consider getting one if the camera didn't suck. I can't go from 41mp to 4mp, the zoom feature is too handy to lose.

If the drop the camera on the next version and get something decent I might switch because the One was the only android phone I was interested in.

Some of the things that can be done with the Lumia 950 series is downright impressive in my opinion.

All we need is a damn release date now, instead of "soon".

I picked up a 640 for pennies the other day as a running/workout phone. I have to say, I'm impressed. However, the platform is dead unless they do some serious app importing.

Does anyone have the Blu Win HD LTE? Amazon has all the colors marked dow to $49.99 {originally $199 last year} so I am tempted to buy it as a backup.

I tried the 521 & liked Windows but had to switch back to Android bc I needed certain apps. I have also have another Blu phone which worked fine so I am considering this purchase but thought I would see if anyone here had any opinions ... ?

That's a nice looking phone. Very reminiscent of the HTC M7.

I honestly don't use the 640 outside of exercise, and even that is hit or miss. As a backup phone, it'll probably do you well, but you might as well look at some cheap Android options as well.

I'm moderately surprised MSFT hasn't made a Surface phone with a MSFT launcher running on Android.

I think they will try again in the future.
