Windows Phone 8.1 Users Won't Get Windows 10 Update Until 2016

[marck1001]

After having Windows Phone 7, then backstabbed by MS for not being able to upgrade to Win8, bought a 920 with win8, then a 930 (icon in the US) with 8.1. I am still awaiting for the App gap promise MS made 2 or 3 years ago. I've had an iPhone and now a Galaxy S5 for my corp phone and it's so glorious to have all possible Apps you can imagine. Only reason I was still sticking with Windows Phone was: awesome Lumia Camera (any top LG or Samsung can match the quality, even the iPhone has a decent quality), Office support, OneDrive integration, Xbox Music (now groove) and Outlook. Heck, all these softwares are available in the other platforms with a way much more updated version. Apart from the far superior user interface, there's absolutely ZERO appeal for me to stick with Windows Phone. I am just patiently waiting for W10 and if Universal Apps don't attract developers, Windows Phone will be dead to me. You can blame me for anything, but being a supporter for this damn platform - I have Windows based phones ever since 2006 - I'm done with it.

I have a Nokia 635, and it is on Tmobile. I criticize M$ for not releasing Win 10 on time for the phone. The app support is also weak, and they recently shut down the Health & Fitness app, taking away one of the few apps that actually was decent on the phone.

The Microsoft Health app is still in the store, along with HealthVault.

Yes, but it no longer will count steps. It is just Health content that can be gotten elsewhere.
