Tom Warren said the 930 won't be included in the first preview. :/

 

[hadareud]

He said he'd be surprised if it was. Considering his recent track record, I wouldn't be surprised if he were to be surprised.

 

[Paganmoon]

Is this the whole WP team? and if so, which one is you Lastflowers?

[hadareud]

Right, time to drive home. Hopefully it'll be live by the time I get there.

Drive very slowly...

 

[HarryDemeanor]

The app is letting me pick a slow or fast build. Guess it's up?

Tells me, no builds... I swear if 1020 isn't on the list....

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I picked slow and it rebooted my phone.

Checking phone updates now...

 

[Ape]

Okay 920 gonna beast this update. Hopefully soon.

 

[JaggedSac]

Yeah, same here.

[stktt]

It's okay. The update will be rolled out to more phones over the coming months!

This is what I get for bragging about getting Denim fairly early, isn't it?

 

[Ape]

Aw shit.

You might not even be able to install it on your device of choice just yet. Microsoft is keeping the list of supported devices fairly slim for now. The Lumia 630, Lumia 635, Lumia 636, Lumia 638, Lumia 730, and Lumia 830 will all be supported today, and Microsoft's Joe Belfiore says the company will be "delivering new features and new devices...over the next few months."

 

[n64coder]

Good! You guys can be my canaries on this one.

Same here.

Aaaannnndd....fuck. The turd phones get it first.

Seems like the newest phones (the ones released in the past 6-9 months) are getting it first.

I thought you were joking at first


T_T

 

[Paganmoon]

Next few months? alright, cool... yeah... it's alright... just a few months... it's ok... I mean... I don't mind...

Spoiler

FUCK!

Edit:

They really should've posted the full list of phones supported in the first batch back at the event in January, or at least last week. This announcement became a downer real quick.

 

[JaggedSac]

lol

 

[Paganmoon]

And that tentative list from a few pages back? right...

Lumia 735

Lumia 830

Lumia 920

Lumia 925

Lumia 1020

Lumia 1520

Lumia 930

Lumia Icon

Lumia 635 / Lumia 630

HTC One M8

I don't get no 1520, not that I have that phone, but it's the one they demo:d on. what's up Microsoft? hey Lastflowers, get in here and give us some answers

Yup. We went from coming "Windows 10 will be released for phones after the Super Bowl" to "Six phones are getting it halfway through February, but more will be added Soon™".

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I'm downloading something through phone update. Not sure if it's either Windows 10 TP or a regular update because I switched off the 8.1 preview updates.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Downloading, woooooo

 

[kazinova]

How much is a 630/635 unlocked?

Dangit, at least the decision to install has been made for me. I get to wait and see.

At least I have Denim to keep me company, right AT&T? HUH?

AT&T 1520 is the worst Windows phone to have right now...

 

[Ape]

Downloading, woooooo

fuck off

 

[Paganmoon]

uhm, the insider page just changed in Sweden:

Telefoner som stöds av Windows 10 Technical Preview

Windows 10 Technical Preview fungerar för närvarande med följande telefoner (under förutsättning att Windows Phone 8.1 redan var installerat på telefonen när den köptes):


HTC 8x


HTC One (M8) för Windows


Nokia- och Microsoft Lumia-telefoner som har


minst 8 GB lagringsutrymme


en SIM-kortplats (telefoner med dubbla SIM-kort stöds för närvarande inte av Technical Preview

Edit: en-US page still has the old list. what's going on?

[lastflowers]

Aw shit.

yeah, my feature definitely won't be coming out for a while

Does Joe talk about it in this Windows (Phone?) 10 introduction video?

"Some context on why we chose these and not higher end phones like the 930/Icon or 1520: We have a feature that will be coming soon called “partition stitching” which will allow us to adjust the OS partition dynamically to create room for the install process to be able to update the OS in-place. Until this comes in, we needed devices which were configured by mobile operators with sufficiently sized OS partitions to allow the in-place upgrade, and many of the bigger phones have very tight OS partitions."

 

[frontieruk]

Updating my 635 to the fast insider comon!

 

[PG2G]

Part of me is glad that my phone isn't supported because I might have had the desire to put it on my main phone lol

I don't want to sound like an entitled kid from the gaming side, but they could have said that a week ago, waiting to today feels like a troll move by MS's part

 

[Paganmoon]

I figured I maybe should translate the Swedish techpreview page.

It says

Nokia or Microsoft Lumia-phones with:
* at least 8 GB of storage
* only 1 sim slot (Currently phones with 1 sim slots are not supported by the Techpreview)

So did they change their minds very late, and didn't inform the global website teams?

I don't want to sound like an entitled kid from the gaming side, but they could have said that a week ago, waiting to today feels like a troll move by MS's part

It could've been they made the call very late as posted above, the Swedish preview page says any Microsoft or Nokia Lumia with at least 8GB of storage.

So, why not post something like this earlier in the month instead of the constant teasing? I'm not even that cynical when it comes to the platform, but basic communication mishaps like this are why people get frustrated.
