Historically, Microsoft has been fairly transparent about its plans to
support older versions of Windows -- and it tends to give users a nice,
long heads up, too. Until now, though, that hasn't always been true of Windows Phone -- remember how long
it took Redmond to confirm you couldn't upgrade to WP8?
In any case,
Microsoft seems to be taking a more direct approach going forward: the
company posted a brief table on its site, explaining when it will end
support for Windows Phone 8 and 7.5. In short, each OS gets a total of
18 months of support, and that period has of course already begun, as
both operating systems are shipping on various hardware.
Support for WP8
will end first, on July 8th, 2014, while 7.5 "Mango" will hit the end of the road on September 9th of that year. Either
way, if you purchased your device on a two-year contract, you might not
mind the end to OS updates, as you'll probably be eligible for a new
handset by then.
And besides, those of you who took a chance on 7.8
surely did so with the understanding that it can't be upgraded to WP8
anyway.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT, PLEASE COME BACK SOON...
