I got a couple of mails trying to clarify the reasons why there is no clear WP8 upgrade path for current users. The current situation is a sort of  two pronged approach. First, current Lumia handsets aren’t completely abandoned – they will get an update in the form of WP7.8 which brings amongst other things […]
