Why don't you two get a room? :) In an attempt to throw petrol onto a cooling fire, Microsoft don't have to make new devices backward compatible. Or forward compatible. They make decisions, like any project, on what new releases mean. I don't think that assuming people will be happy to upgrade their phone for a newer improved one is a bad one to make. These days the majority of phones end up in a draw somewhere in less than three years. The phones cost almost nothing (if you are on a plan where you got your phone for $0 and you get to the end of the contract period, they don't make your plan cheaper for example.) You get the option to upgrade to a newer phone. If your phone is older than 2 years old then phones are not that important to you (or you're money priorities lay elsewhere) and no amount of new features would compel you to upgrade.
I, for example, have three phones. Android, Iphone, and Windows phone 7. Thats just the phones I carry in my bag, I have no idea how many phones I have at home in the draw somewhere. Your phone will be out of date. Its just a question of how long that will take. I'm kinda stunned that's news. As for you two fighting over what information was available, and what assumptions people made about if they can upgrade their new phone or not. heheh... it really really must tick you off. I'm not taking sides, I don't care. It's been too long since anyone's butted heads on this list so, good times! We'll all look back on this and laugh. If you have any sense. Take a deeeep breath, and step outside. You know, outside where there's sunshine and people walking about without computers n stuff. :) We're all in this together, ya know. And.... Go.
