The Windows 10 Mobile update appears to be pushed back yet again, this time until late-February. Earlier reports had anticipated the roll out to take place mid-January, but those talks have not surfaced again. In a tweet sent to Bouygues Telecom asking the status of the update, Joel Devaux was advised:
It would not be before late February!
The update has yet to receive a firm date from Microsoft, but we sure do hope it comes sooner than later. Late-February is a bummer, but hopefully when it is finally ready it will roll out to everyone quickly.

I am eagerly waiting for windows 10 its maybe after feburary
Won't let me post a link but Google search says Vodafone UK is prompting upgrades fingers crossed
Apple or Samsung here we come! Microsoft seriously don't care about their customers in everything!
Come on Microsoft!!
TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT BUYING A WP !!! MICROSOFT TOOOOOOO FAR FROM ANDROID AND IOS -_-
Ask microsof to build a app for android ,they will make it in minutes
If you ask microsot to build a app for Andorid...they will make it in minutes...Investing huge amount for making android apps ...shame on you microsoft
Microsoft please care your customer toooo...
Win 10 ... 10th wonder in the world
I love my Lumia 640 LTE with Windows 8.1. Sure it needs some software upgrades but still one of the best phones I ever had. I will be patiently waiting for Windows 10 and hope thay can clear any major bugs before launch. I rather wait one more month for Windows 10 then have issues with it.
Good job Microsoft until now.
Yeah no more polish your knob!!!! Comments please. At the rate Microsoft is going on stability with W10 mobile_I wouldn't be downloading to your other device till the operating system is fully-fledged spot on, which sadly is currently not the case!!!!
Effing Fu#& you
F#*k you
I think that, at this time, Microsoft has a good chance to win over Apple and Google regarding smartphones and they are throwing it away with these delays. Updates are coming really slowly. They need to provide windows 10 mobile asap to all devices and not after waves and waves and waves.....We don't need and -definitely- don't care about update batches....They must provide the new OS before it's too late and start losing customers. At least provide it as it is and then they can patch the bugs until end of February.
Bought a Lumia 640 around Sept 2015 expecting Windows 10 mobile to be launched soon after and have lots more apps available. Well should have thought this is Microsoft after all and it will probably never happen. Waste of money buying this phone and now think time to return to Android as they are reliable with releases of updates.
Ora kaget, ora gumun blass!!!
It goes like "I hate something that I love", what to be done then??
Ms has officially lost a customer
Wht!Feb hell
Ppl, is there any future for Lumia 520 users or any other old Lumia 8.1OS users??? Should we wait or upgrade to new Lumia handsets???
No
Why Microsoft is so blind to notice that the a. Updates are always delayed, b. Too many bugs, c. Pathetic experience on latest Flagship Lumia 950XL. This clearly means Microsoft needs to FIRE THEIR LAZY STAFF and HIRE SKILLED PROGRAMMERS & DEVELOPERS.
Thank god I bought Lumia 950XL. Else update on my Lumia 820 will be delayed to infinity.
If you don't like it or how it looks since 7.5...why are you still here. I for one, and many others with me I'm sure, like how it looks and that is one of the reasons we chose WP and bow W10M.
To all you who came here to whine and complain about MS...I came here to complain about you!
To all if you who came here to complain about MS....I'm here to complain about you!!! LOL
Microsoft has been failing ever since they tried to be innovative. All they ever had to do was slim down windows xp, make it touch based and put a quick launch for phone keypad and text messaging. If they could have done that instead of trying to make everything a **** load more difficult they would be running the mobile device market right now hands down. Hell all they really need to do now is slim down win 10 add keypad and txt msg app and put it on a lumina and they would be getting praises. No one likes the tiles Microsoft, get a damn clue! A phone with a desktop, a start menu, and being able to run whatever program the hardware lets you like windows xp is what people wanted 5 years ago. You could have delivered. Now your just rehashing **** and trying to fix something people dont even want. You ruined Nokia. Please fix yourself ffs. It aint that hard man, seriously, the company is trying to be so inovative but fails to see that Android and iOS are actually more like windows xp then your w10m.. Home screen=desktop App tray=Start menu. God dammit MS wtf is wrong wit chu
I dropped my 650 in the toilet by accident. Local shop had a moto g 2014 on sale for 100€. Back on Android now, and I do not miss anything about Windows Phone, at all. I can finally use the Chromecast in the living room (that usually my wife had to connect to to put netflix on the tv via her iPhone)... These news of the further delay for Windows 10 Mobile confirm that I made the right choice.
So, in practicallity Microsoft is now about a YEAR late (W10 including W10M was originally intended for the beginning or 2015) and we still see full focus on ios/Android and crap results on W10M.
Folks, when will you (also) give up?
The "mastermind" is laughing at you!
Windows 10 Delayed is Windows 10 Denied... :-(
Using Lumia 540 with the .63 build and I am very satisfied with it. This build is very fast and stable. Only problem is the Facebook app (it is pretty much useless).
Surprise, surprise, surprise. Already have the 8XT in storage...

I used Windows phones for about three years, but I have thrown in the towel now. Many apps were cancelled and removed, such as Mint, Bank of America, Pinterest, and many others. In addition, the existing apps are watered-down and buggy versions of their ios and Android counterparts.
I am now using a Zenfone 2 running Android Lollipop. The OS is more robust and the apps are much better and more available. Sayanora Buggysoft.
Hey Microsoft! Just give up WM10. Start switching us to Android. At least then we will appreciate your work
Now I'm in confusion whether to write my app for Windows Phone 8.1 or should I write an WM10 universal app, initially I thought about universal app, but now WP 8.1 seems practical, as my app targets local audience and all of them will have WP 8.1.
That's not factoring the carriers of course...
Posted via the Windows Central App for Android on my Lumia 950 XL
Next up Redstone delayed until January 2017. Microsoft Edge extensions support delayed until March 2017. Windows Bridge for iOS delayed until 2018! Introducing Microsoft Edge for iOS and Surface Phone with Android!
I'm excited Microsoft! Good that at least you'll release a full OS instead of a half baked OS. :)
Take your time! But make sure that the OS is bug free.
Hope they don't postpone it to June 2016
I was on insider for my Lumia 830. Man so buggy. Windows phone 8.1 so smooth love it. I can wait.
650 is coming out on 1 feb lets seee its fail. 550 in india failed miserably, even amazon does'nt have amazon fulfilled seller for l550, those selling this phone are selling at 9.5k+ INR and also charging shipping charges.
and as a standard reply 'Coming Soon'
When india?
I'm not sure why everyone feels the need to dog Microsoft about pushing the release back? What's funny is the latest insider build is almost flawless and the bugs that do remain are minor, so minor infact it feels like I'm on the lastest android. I have a android device and let me tell you, the finished os for droid is still slower and more buggy then w10 preview build. Windows phone still captures my attention and imagination. Ipick up my android device and I'm bored within 5 minutes. The only complaint that's legitimate is that Microsoft supports droid and iOS apps far more then windows mobile apps, which to me makes absolutely no sense, yeah I get the whole market share thing, but still is their native hardware why not support it better and more then droid, even if only to be loyal to the windows mobile users.
Even after this much delay there will be much more bugs. If you want to give buggy os then remove some features with severe bug and release the os and then give updates when the features are ready
Better later and fully functional without bugs then sooner with bugs.
Seriously MSFT. We dont care about this update anymore. We all know how buggy it is. Could you please just focus on the future development of Redstone and keep those ****** bugs away?
Microsoft should just change their name to Coming Soon.
Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
Give an OS without lags or bugs and I am ready to wait.
How can you say the release is pushed back because a French carrier is not getting their updates out till late February? Why does this effect the release of 10 when T-Mobile Poland has already done it?
Jesus did anyone actually read the article its not ms pushback its the carrier that's pushin its release back ... My guess is that carrier wants to bloat it to get people on higher price contracts or to sell more expensive models . Ms have not in anyway as of yet stated they will delay again . And I recall the last statement stating early 2016 NOT early feckin Jan ffs get a grip or goto smackle or FUXkdroid . Apple may be leading but lets face it they dictate everything you cant even take a shi% with ya phone unless they approve it first and yes spamdroid has shed loads of app but... Just how many do you really use and tbh alot of em are shady as a nun in a cucumber field... At least Ms are trying for once to get it right Rome wasn't built in a day you know. Apple may release every year but be honest with your playtoys they pump out more **** than priest buggers asses
This is getting annoying another delay with W10 mobile until the end of February that's f@#k up. The sad part is the delay is for Lumia phones not for other Windows phones so when will we get the W10 update "Build 2016"!!!!
I want Windows 10 mobile to be RIGHT when it rolls out. the new 950/950XL smart phones got bad reviews because the software was not up to par to a lot of tech sites testors. if they have worked out the bugs which they know of it will be a stellar OS great to use
Microsoft must follow the android way of updating OS. Any phone that is 2 years old does not get new OS update on android. Even iOS 9 is available only to iPhone 4S and above.
So I actually see that Microsoft is being nice to every one by getting the update ready for older phones that are already out of warranty. Microsoft should just stick to updating newer phones and if anyone wants to enjoy the new OS, they must buy the newer phone, just like other OSes.
Huh?
The iPhone 4S was released in October, 2011. It's now 2016.
MS is SO far behind the curve.
When in India?
Just use the windows insider to get windows 10 until the official version for your model is out , my lumia 1320 runs windows 10 ok , but sometimes freezes , not much maybe 1x a week , reinstalling the windows 10 is a pain having to go back to 8.1 and I wish microsoft would speed up any updates as you get to hate that spinning cogs after a while , it takes far too long to install even a language pack, that needs to improve as knowone new to windows phone will put up with its slow updating.
Isn't this just a carrier saying when "they" not MS will be rolling out the update?
After all WP8.1 -> WM10 requires Carrier and OEM approval.
I don't have any faith in Windows Phone no more, just release the OS, take it seriously, put more resources behind it.
For apps just pay companies a nice sum of money to get the big name apps in the Store. Its not difficult, Android and iOS do it why cant Microsoft.
Its a shame to put such a great OS behind the curve since launch.
No good hardware and people hanging onto the hopes of what might be a well overpriced underwhelming Surface Phone. No one will buy it if the apps aren't there.
it a good thing still some bugs to work out PLUS PLUS IM JUST 32 UPVOTE A WAY FORM MY GOAL 5000 OF UPVOTES
Lol. It doesn't matter. Just release it when its ready. Not before. I'll wait.
I think the issues are with the update. The only thing worse than an update that doesn't meet users expectations is an update that breaks users phones. I suspect the delay is because there are some issues with the update process when tested in the wild, as it were.
Well that is frustratingly disappointing. Come on windows phone, you're better than this!
Why is this happening?
I'm wondering about this "free upgrade for the first year" thing. If Windows 10 Mobile is not released for older phones until February, does that mean the free upgrade will last until February 2017?
I am replying to your second comment because your second comment invalidates your first comment and proves that you represent the vast majority who do not even understand what is announced by Microsoft. Windows 10 is a free upgrade for Windows Mobile(any device with screen size less than 8 inch) for lifetime of the device. However Windows 10on PC will be free for the first year.
Hope you understand the message now.
YES. JUST IMPROVE THE OS AND IM FINE. **** THIS ****
Honestly, keep pushing it back until you actually make it usable.
To say this is "Beta" or "alpha" software is bull. The have publicly released this less than half baked OS on three handsets now. It's publicly launched.
I'm a long time windows phone fan, I’ve been on the bandwagon since Windows Phone 7.
On my 1020 the constant battery drains, and messaging hangs, reboots, are just not worth it. I was willing to drop $850 CDN on a 950xl and then I realized, I’ll have all these same problems on a larger more expensive device...why pay that much. So I’ve opted for a refurb 1520. At least that can be left on Windows Phone 8.1, an OS that actually works.
I know so many of you are going to knock me but you know I’m right. This is no longer "Beta" software or "Preview" software. What's on the 950/550 and upcoming 650 is public release software that just doesn't work right. I just spend an entire day reverting my 1020 back to 8.
1) Skype integration, while amazing is a huge battery drain and makes messaging extremely slow
2) Cortana is basically useless, laggy, slow, and music search is in the wrong spot
3) Apps close randomly after opening
4) The excuse of hard resetting to "fix" these issues is not a valid resolution. Do you seriously expect all the windows phone users out there to factory reset their phones just to upgrade?
There are so many things I love about this OS, the little upgrades and integrations. The ability to reply back to SMS within other apps and the amazing work they did on mail and calendar is fantastic. However all the shortcoming of the OS are just going to keep me back on 8.1 until they get their **** together.
It really does feel like MS gave up.
I completely agree with everything you said. I installed build 10586.11 on my Lumia 1020 back in December and I immediately wished I hadn't. I waited 2 weeks for build 10586.29 to be released but after installing it and seeing that NONE of the bugs that were driving me crazy over the past 2 weeks had been fixed, I reverted my 1020 back to 8.1. Since then, I have been seriously considering switching to Android. The only reason I haven't bought a Galaxy S6 is because the 16MP camera is nowhere near as good as the 41MP on my 1020.
Honestly I love the Windows Phone platform. The lack of apps doesn't bother me that much, what i need and waht i use i have.
I wouldn't go to android as i currently also carry around a Galaxy S4 for my other job and i absoutely hate it. For a phone that has better specs than my 1020 it's glitchier thatn my N9 running simbian.
What Microsoft is putting out for a mobile OS now, i don't even know what to say. Yes i understand that it's a work in progress, but could you at least finish the work you've done so far? I'm really starting to think this "Technical preview" is really "Here, you find the bugs for us, save us time so we don't have to"
I want to believe in MS, I want to get the latest flagship, but the fact that W10 for mobile is still a ghitchy shitshow makes me not want to buy it because i can't revert back to WP8 where things work smoothly. At least the 1520 i orderd will work on W10 mobile when i decide to upgrade.
Bored of waiting, Microsoft can keep their W10 update. Getting an android device so that I could be happy like everyone else.
Well at least as far as a phone makes one happy :) but I feel the same way, the experience on WP 8.1 / W10M is so bad compared to the competing platforms it's almost a torture having to use a Windows phone, unless you use it as a replacement for a feature phone. Unfortunatelly W10M is still not on par with Android/iOS, so even if they make it until the end of February, it's still going to be behind in terms of features and app availability. It's 2016 and no one wants to wait for features that have become an industry standard to maybe appear some time later on.
I'm not pretending you can't complain about this but if the delay of an update actually makes you switch to Android of all things then maybe you need to sit down calmly and rethink some of your choices.
Now its really painful..MS please don't test my patience
Lol. They have been testing MY patients for years...
This is getting ridiculous. Microsoft have provided no clear schedule about when it will be updating it's devices and has now delayed the update twice. It's always the same cr@p with Microsoft.
Do you think maybe they're including a surprise feature related to their Feb Xbox announcement. Like streaming games to the phone?
Lol. The fact is : "Expectation leads to disappointment". Do not expect anything and you will be happy with what is offered.
It's just a couple of weeks and MS doesn't owe you anything, so please be patient.
Some reasons like this one make people get frustrated and complaint of the windows OS.
I didn't expect anything in January. The team took off the end of December, and no one is motivated to get back to work after an extended break. If you want it now join the insider program. Otherwise just sit there and wait for the free update.
The day Windows 10 for PC was launched, WinBeta published an article saying that Windows 10 mobile was feature complete and MS was looking to launch it in summer. But then as usual there was some bug in rolling out the build 10240 to the insiders and then they shifted the date to the fall of 2015.
It it's feature complete. Now they're adding the final polish to the product. Redstone is the next update with new features.
950 and its w10m OS work great....on the apps that are not broken/unfinished/etc, sadly enough most of those are MS apps that shipped with the phone
I'm going to give the benefit of doubt to this rumour, since it comes from a carrier who might be delaying the process, but I'm tired and losing my patience entirely with Microsoft and their mobile OS. I bought a Lumia 640 last June with the promise of a "Windows 10 ready" device, at least that's how it was advertised by Microsoft itself. Rumours back then claimed a post-Summer upgrade, around September/October. Christmas has passed. Most of January has passed. This is simply unnacceptable. They haven't even set a final date in stone after all this time! And I find it funny to those who reply "just install it via the Insider app". That's your solution? Leave people at their mercy with experimental builds? Have you even read the warnings before upgrading from WP8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile preview?
I have been loyal to Windows Phone for 3 years, have recommended WP8.1 devices to family and friends, tolerated the app gap for this entire time, but that's it. Patience and tolerance has its limits. Microsoft is becoming the corporation of the promised land, never delivering, existing in an ethereal plane. I'll live with my Lumia 640 as long as I can and then things better improve somehow or else goodbye forever.
I agree with you in the way of referring windows phone to friend and family and I have been using wp devices for a least 5 years when the HTC trophy came up. Now I'm using the Lumia 930 and still waiting for the "sooner upgrade" and nothing. Disappointed
I totally agree with you. I went through a similar experience with buying a Lumia 640 in August, hoping that Windows 10 would be rolling out in the autumn. Furthermore, it was advertised as coming with a one-year's Office 365 Personal subscription. When I bought it and downloaded the gift app from their store, it informed me that the offer had already expired, though it didn't say so on their website or on the website of the retailer. Ok, I was able to swallow this because I was eligible for Office 365 University so I got that instead.
But then this Windows 10 (and the promised advent of many new universal apps) never coming started to get annoying - and even if it were released, I'm not quite sure it would have brought the necessary improvements. In my country Cortana is inacessible and as a consequence so are "Quiet hours", which I really need and which I had a hard time adjusting to coming from Android, where even if the system cannot handle it itself, then there's dozens of apps that can take care of that - which wasn't the case for WP 8.1.
On top of all that, my unit had hardware issues (with the display) and went for repairs two times. I don't know who takes care of that, but Microsoft's local representatives didn't even try to repair my device and even said it conformed to "Nokia's standards of quality". Now that's just unacceptable. I returned it two weeks ago and got my money back, so there's that. Perhaps I have saved myself another endless round of waiting for something that's nowhere near as good as promised. Now I'm back to ****** Android, but at least I have all the features that I need, in spite of the occasional lag.
lol ok so gestures beta release in 2018?
If they didn't anyway hype a December release and push it back to January on top of that, I would have been okay. But they did not deliver on their statements.
Guys, let them get this one right. Let's not hurry them unnecessarily.
True. Hurrying them for a flagship was reason they released 950/950XL with pre-release OS. Now they blame MS for releasing 950/950XL with WM10.
This forum gone mad. Hold on people, if you can' sell and buy:). Sell the old buy thr new;)
This is getting embarrassing. Coming Soon has officially become the standard tagline for Microsoft. Everyday makes it harder to be an evangelist for them.
Jan you beat me to it
I'm almost ready to go back to android, these pushing back updates just aint cutting the mustard, and another thing I don't understand is microsoft has given some windows phone apps to andriod, but windows phone has yet to run their apps
Three words: Join Insider Programme
3 Words: how about no.

What's the moaning about just a few weeks away can't pls some people . And it's what ever telecom company that's published that not M S . Better they push it back than release a update that's buggy although the latest build seems fine on my 930 custom variant
I can understand M.s been sensitive on getting right . They don't want a repeat of win 8 desktop and we the users don't either the update advisor is now in general use fir public so that a real sign it's on it's way very soon . Although people moan that isn't working well it won't if your using W10 T P to be honest to those who ain't usefld it yet it's worth the wait . Patience people let's be fair W10 is make or break for M S OS Let's remember what happened to Sega console industry for getting it so badly wrong .
It's dead Jim.
10586.63 is actually great on old Lumia 625. It's fast and stable.
My only concern right now it's when Microsoft will deliver Cortana in Portuguese (Brazil), since it was promissed for December and then delayed.
I have sort of given up / forgotten about this. Even if they figure it out, I will think twice about putting it on my l920.
I've got a lumia 630 running Windows 10 via Windows Insider. It's cool, but a bit patchy. There's several standard apps that seem to lag a bit compared to 8.1 Denim.
I only paid AU$179 for it more than 12 months ago, and it's only 3G, so I'll probably upgrade in the next 6-12 months to take advantage of the expanding 4G network in my town.
.
Windows 10 Mobile not going anywhere while Android is growing in leaps and bounds.
http://crunchng.com/what-we-should-all-expect-from-android-in-2016/
Guess what? They are delaying so that customers are forced to buy the new devices..and that's why they are also not giving basic functionality to older devices through the windows 10 update..
Thats is what happens on other OSes. Atleast they are releasing the OS for older devices, even if they are delayed.
Good move in my opinion, it's not quite ready.
Seriously, then can't even finish the calculator "app"... Every single week they need to update it. How difficult can be to make an calculator app?
The sky is falling down!
Hahaha!
You kidding me? Is it really coming so early? I thought it would cold the next year!
SOON(tm) #5
I think we should send the entire Windows Mobile team lunch, get on their good side, maybe it will help.
Two medium pizzas and a six pack should cover it.
I just can't wait anymore.... I will keep my 930 of 19months and just go pick up an iPhone 6S Plus.
Microsoft must rename Windows 10 Mobile to Windows 10 Delay!
Yeah! Msft should open its eyes to know what happens out there... Right now! Or else they're losing consumers slowly. The OS should have been released by now. Of course a solid OS is the way to go but the delay is way too much.
It isn't ready, so pushing it back is a good thing!
article is so mis leading. these are expected date of Bouygues Telecom not for other independent carrier or CV devices.
WAITING FOR NOKIA COMEBACK .... I HOPE THAT NOKIA WILL NOT FAIL ME :(
When in INDIA? LOL
Because of new Microsoft mobile launch lumia 650
Everytime they announce crap like this, just tell me who they fired so we know they are actually taking it serious. Getting tired of thus "we are listening crap" when they are doing anything but.if you were listening, the people hub wouldn't still be a mess, the music and video situation would be back to the functionality of Windows Phone 7, there would be a real way to sync all our media, etc. So start firing the idiots that are destroying this whole ship, and ACTUALLY START LISTENING MICROSOFT.
Well they did send Belfiore to witness protection, so there's that
Huh?
They fired the whole mobile team. That's why no progress.
Microsoft is surely going to lose it customers trust
already have!!
What else is new?
I have a feeling it will not come until summer, a full year after it was supposed to be here :/
Then maybe people will have to pay for the upgrade because it will be past July 29th?
So that "soon" means minimum 38 days! Bullshit...
Seriously? Oh, hello again Android
I say it's time to do a little "push back" of our own. Don't buy windows phone, or you run the risk of them becoming "obsolete" before they can get the update.
I'm starting to think the MS motto of "push them where we want them to go" applies to older w8m phones to become obsolete before w10m is available so that they will be ineligible for the update.
Prove me wrong.
Not a problem because where I live WPs are becoming rarer and rarer
As long as its stable and not very buggy.
Be fair everyone, the Windows 10 mobile dev team is coding a fast as he can and anyways, Thu and Fri he's at community college
Well it's not fast enough. They should hire more people.
Haha, good one.
That's why apple never releases an open beta testing OS.... People are restless....
Apple has a similar beta testing program for their OS. The difference is that Apple rarely misses a release deadline. Consistency breeds a patient user base.
Actually Apple has TWO open beta programs for iOS and OS X: One just for registered developers and one for everyone.
Ya thats right and you should read the Terms of Apple beta program. Here is an excerpt for anyone who wants to know about the program in a nutshell.
Terms of Apple Public Beta Testing
Is the public beta software confidential?
Yes, the public beta software is Apple confidential information. Don’t install the public beta software on any systems you don't directly control or that you share with others. Don’t blog, post screen shots, tweet, or publicly post information about the public beta software, and don't discuss the public beta software with or demonstrate it to others who are not in the Apple Beta Software Program. If Apple has publicly disclosed technical information about the public beta software, it is no longer considered confidential.
The above line that I have underlined shows that their beta testing program is confidential even though public can sign up for it.
@agnish True. Thats what Microsoft must do. They must shut down the public beta testing program and make it only available to a few registered beta testers. Thats way the feedbacks will be more focussed and bug will be eliminated fast.
Also there wil be less people crying without knowing that they are testing pre-release software.
Thus year may be the end of WP and the Surface phone will take place.
Or available now via Insider...
End of February 2015 was when the Lumia 640 and 640 XL were announced as "Windows 10 ready" phones. So it's going to take a whole year to get the promised update on those phones. Even the Lumia 650 will be announced earlier. Quite frustrating...
The other thing, why switch if I lose my TV apps that you banned? If they are going to pull their official TV apps and help Android and iOS form a monopoly, refuse to pull the apps already or many of us aren't switching to mobile 10.
Panos Surface Phone is F****d Up.

Really? Did he hand deliver you one?
Seems faster™ Coming soon™
I have windows 10 insider latest build on Lumia 1320. It's smooth and stable. No complaints at all.
They are too busy making apps for other platforms
Ms thinks that people will buy 950 n 950xl to try windows 10 mobile. Lol. I fail to understand their logic of delaying the update. Seems they will now introduce the 650 let it sell for a few days, trying to get people to purchase it for using wm 10. And when all that will be done.... They will bring the update.... Which will be no fun by that time. Ms.... U deserve to be 3% of the pie.
Better late than never. Allow them to make their time, we dont want the same thing as what happened with the lumia 950xl.

Nice of MSFT to ship phones (950/XL) for 'the fans' with an OS that was at least three months away from RTM quality. For the suckers, more like!
I feel bad for Panos, already facing shipping his Surface Phone with a half-finished 'Redstone' beta.
Coming Soon™
This will always keep happening, it's the same old ***** from the 80s and 90s at Microsoft...the company needs new blood running it. Nothing will ever ******* change.
WE NEED OTG
but if we spam to gabe aul or terry myerson "when comes out win10mobile update?"
Just like we spammed them about Zune. That worked well also. Look at what we got instead.
I'm in no rush.
You are exactly Windows Mobile's target demographic.
Who would have imagined in 2014, when they announced W10M for 2015, that the whole year would go by without any existing devices oficially receiving Windows 10 Mobile? Now 2016 is here and they are still holding back. Lets just say they missed the mark on this one
Not surprized hahaha
Why are people so fixated with W10m needing to replicate android or iOS and lagging so far behind. MS is changing mobile services and how we interact with mobile devices which is a monumental challenge. W10m is conceptually very different from previous versions of the OS, somewhat putting a square peg into a round hole.
Yep and MS was born yesterday... To stop production of sorts because “we have a better wheel” then leave their loyalist in the lurch is not cool, I for one own an 830 and got what, a delayed Denim update on a device that was supposed to have the “real deal” from the start, got very little in the way of enhancements with that update and zero since then, now my phone is basically EOL.
And speaking of lagging, didn't kinow a rubber band could stretch that far LOL
If you bought a Windows Phone expecting support from Micrsoft, then you haven't been paying much attention. The platform is basically dead and Microsoft hasn't had the greatest track record of supporting its devices, especially when they flop. Don't forget the L900, Kin, WindowsRT, Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8. They have all lost support. Some WP8 devices will get W10, maybe, but WP8 itself is dead within I more support from Microsoft or developers. Great strategy.

Ya android is far better
MS even if you push it to end of 2016, you will still release a halfbaked, incomplete crap OS in the excuse of windows 10 as a service of updates to fix them. Selling 640XL. Switch to android next week. No matter laggy or whatever, I still have latest apps there. Not like the dead 8.1 OS that doesn't have any development with outdated Apps
I'm currently doing the same thing. Put both mine and my wife's windows phones on craigslist and moving on. love the os but updates come at glacier speed.
I'm already at the other side!
My advice for you is (if you go for Android) to get a nexus or Motorola device (stock Android) because it works like a charm and they are pretty much future proof in terms of future updates.!
Android has come a very long way and its finally a joy to use! I know this words 2 years ago couldn't go together, but lollipop and marshmallow are spot on!
Microsoft can suck my dick. Samsung Ativ S owner
BuhahhHaha!
Edge is still infuriatingly buggy on W10M preview, so waiting another month means hopefully polish on that as well as some other bugs I've seen throughout the OS.
They are busy updating Internet Explorer.

Fu king ******** ....this kinda **** has been said said from Dec 15
Làm với chả ăn . Như ... -_-
I can wait. I want it to work smoothly in my Lumia 720(512 Mb ram device) just like 8.1 does,
By the time the update comes out no one will care cause everyone with an older model windows phone with be eligible or soon will be eligible for an upgrade through their carrier
It will come as soon as the window Central app
Hope less
Apparently they know how bad it has been for many users.
gtfo MS :/
I just wish they'd fix the video camera not recording sound on the Lumia 930. Only found out about this yesterday.
Aaand my prediction was right, sort of, another Denim fiasco but appears it is going to be even worse, utterly pathetic.
Wow ******* wow, I'm not a Microsoft fan but,nice job of making fan boys happy ! Every ******* time!!
So Windows 10 Mobile isn't ready, for those wondering or arguing that it is
The longer the official release of W10M is postponed the better. Currently we get to choose between W10M and WP81, with the option of "downgrading" from 10 to 8.1. An official release will bring us nothing new but we'll loose the ability to downgrade.
The more people that update, the more telemetry they get about your experiences and the easier it is to get updates done. Get into the insider program and help them move at a faster pace.
Im not dealing with crashes on a daily basis, thanks though.
My phone hasn't crashed in two weeks. I don't know what you're talking about.
The people o know personally with a 950 or 950 XL are still experiencing crashes. You're amazing.
Thing which irritates more is MSFT instead of working on W10M will continuously work work on releasing and updating apps and services to iOS and Android.... Then who the **** will stay back in Windows platform if the same app and features are available in other platforms with better apps.....
Disappointing to have to wait longer but take note it will be a stronger OS when its released for general usage. Better to have a solid experience than to get it now with bugs and glitches and lose more because of the rushed consumer wants.
