The Microsoft Store listing for the BLU Win Jr LTE listing has now removed any mention of the phone's previously posted upgradable status from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile
BLU will host an exciting promotion on Amazon this weekend for Valentine's Day. The company will knock down the prices of both the Win JR LTE and Win HD LTE on Amazon in the U.S.
If you're looking for a cheap, decent performing Windows Phone then Amazon UK has a deal for you. Grab a Blu Win JR LTE for just £34.99 for one day only.
For £54.99, the BLU Win JR offers a 4.5-inch FWVGA screen, Snapdragon 410 SoC, LTE and a 2,000mAh battery.
BLU has launched its Win HD LTE and Win Jr LTE Windows Phones in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Both budget-priced devices will be sold exclusively by Amazon in those countries.
While we know that BLU was planning an official launch of sorts in India, the devices have made its way on Snapdeal.com already. Both 4G Windows Phone 8.1 devices are targeted at the budget market, and will receive the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade when it arrives.
Brazil is one of the largest markets for Windows Phones these days, so it is great to see another manufacturer jump into the scene.

The dual SIM Win HD features a 5-inch 720p display,...

Attention users of the Blu Win HD and Blu Win JR: you have an update waiting for you. It's a small one, sure, but an update nonetheless. In typical Blu fashion there's nary a change log to be seen, for this update to 8.10.14226.359. At the very least, thanks to the keen eyes of Windows Central Forum member Greg Gray, it adds the ability to toggle cellular data through Notification...
Besides the BLU Win HD picking up 8.1.1 (build 14203, which came out last month for Preview users), its smaller and cheaper sibling the Win JR is also getting the same update.

Much like the Win HD, the Win JR does not appear to get an accompanying...

Blu, purveyor of low-cost Windows phones, can now be found in Microsoft Stores in Canada. The pair of Windows Phones had previously only been available from Blu and Microsoft Stores in the United States. Blu's phones aren't associated with any carrier in either country, so that these prices are off-contract is an encouraging thing: $179 for the Blu Win HD and $89 for the Blu Win Jr....
BLU held an event this week in Brazil to announce the launch of their first two Windows Phone devices, the BLU Win HD and BLU Win Jr, in that country starting sometime next week in retail stores.

We had reported that the Microsoft Store had begun selling the affordably priced entry level BLU Win Jr phone, but at a $10 premium over Amazon's $89 pricing. Now, it appears that Microsoft is matching Amazon's pricing and the BLU Win Jr could be obtained through the Windows Phone OS-maker for the same $89. The phone is listed as in stock on Microsoft's online portal with free...
Though currently listed as out of stock online, the Microsoft Store will be selling the BLU Win Jr phone for just $99 unlocked, which is $10 more than what Amazon is offering the phone for.

Earlier this week, we reported that BLU is selling their new Win JR Windows Phone direct through Amazon.com (direct link). The fully unlocked, dual-SIM device is the first Windows Phone from the fledgling company and at $89 and no contract, it seems too good to be true. At the time, we noted how ours was on the way and sure enough, Amazon delivered it on time today. So, how good can a...
Although the Nokia Lumia 530, Lumia 520, and even Lumia 630 are making waves in the emerging and budget-phone markets, there are increasingly more players on the field thanks to Microsoft's loosening of hardware restrictions back in March.
