My H... moreIt is not Microsoft's fault. HTC dropped Windows Phone support 2 years ago (to be honest I was expecting to see them renewing their contract with Microsoft...), so not even Windows Phone 8.1 (except the preview) is available on this device.
Your Nokia Lumia 710, as any Windows Phone 7.x device, can not be upgradable to Windows Phone 8 due to hardware compatible issues, can not deny that's a very awkward situation and very upsetting to all WP7.x users... sad. This situation was not very welcome even inside Microsoft, it won't happen again, that's why even the very low budget Windows Phone 8 devices (like Lumia 520) will receive the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile.
(Hope you understand what I just said here [My English is not that good and I apologize for that very reason])
I hope someday you give yourself a second chance to Windows Phone (Windows Mobile once again).

My HTC 8X was flagship, not budget. No WP10.
I have no more trust in Windows Phone as a platform.
For premium price, might as well get iPhone. For budget price, might as well take my chances on Android with better ecosystem. Windows Phone give no benefits over those two platforms.

As of now Microsoft is working on an app called Update Advisor to mobiles. They want to update Windows phones that will not get updates through the manufacturer and the carrier.

sr777, 14 Jan 2016It has nothing Okay. What's your point? How much money did you spend on that tablet?
I spent quite a bit on the Lumia 710, which got abandoned and did not even get WP8.
Then I spent money on HTC 8X, and got abandoned as well.
And those are not just some no name OEMs. Those are the primary Windows Phone partner brands. Can you convince me to spend money again on Windows Phone platform? Not a chance.
At least your cheap Android tablet still have more apps.

Not to mention iPhone sells 3/4th of that annually .
Truth is , MS itself has lost all interest in windows phone.

I had Lumia 710, and MS decided not to push WP8 on it for whatever reason. I have no recourse since WP is closed.
The HTC 8X was sold as a flagship in the US, $200 with 2-yr-contract. This shows that at premium price, might as well get an iPhone.

Price for performance on Android? Look at Xiaomi phones. Don't deny the bang for the buck of current mid-range Android phones. If you do, you're just ignorant. What can Microsoft offer? A snapdragon 2xx Lumia 650? Seriously?
And for premium price of the 950, I might as well get the iPhone. Better ecosystem, guaranteed update for at least 3 years if not longer, and great Microsoft apps as well.
