From the Forums: Windows Phone 7's upgrade to WP8 Apollo is now unclear

WP Central

Windows Telephone 7's Upgrade to WP8 Apollo is Now Unclear. That's what forums member 3lackdeath thinks afterwards reading an article from tom's Guide. In this article Terry Myerson, the Corporate Vice President of Windows Telephone is quoted dancing around the question.

Forums member blehblehbleh has posted the full transcription including sound for us. We tin can't draw any conclusions from his comments as he is conspicuously trying to not answer the question. That is enough to get the states thinking there might be some truth to the whole "Will Windows Telephone seven.5 devices be upgraded to Windows eight" issue.

Will we encounter Windows 8 on our current Windows Phone devices? Will generation i phones be left out of the upgrade process, only letting Generation 2 devices to get it? Why hasn't Microsoft come up out and made a statement? It seams easy enough to u.s.a. to but say yes or no. Is there more than involved: Could the upgrade of your device balance on your carrier to decide or is it that some devices merely tin can't run Windows Telephone 8 without ruining the user experience?

Microsoft reps claiming Windows Phone viii definitely coming to second gen handsets, probably to first genIn an commodity posted on WMPowerUser, Thomas from WP7app.de claims to have spoken to Microsoft employees 1 who stated 2d generation handsets, like the HTC Radar and Nokia Lumia handsets volition definitely get the update, and that start generation handsets "in some form" will probably get the update. All this conflicting data leaves united states of america with more than questions than answers.

Nosotros think the biggest question that needs an reply from Microsoft is unproblematic. Who gets the update? Come up join the give-and-take in our forums and let united states know what you remember. Help the states find the respond to big question on everyone's listen.
