Ok I will clarify my statement - Not with the major players i.e. iOS / Android. | |

quote: Symbian is one of the obvious. You also have phones like K700/800/T7** that didn't offer major version upgrades (most of the upgrades were just carrier branding) and it's the same with similar phones from other manufacturers. Either way, it certainly isn't as uncommon as you're making it out to be. | |

I don't think its quite happened in such a quick succession on the other platforms | |

I agree it's a rough ride for the WP7 users but there has been substantial changes to WP8 that clearly made it incompatible for WP7 hardware. | |

Its even better than that. Those people that bought a Windows phone a year ago Windows Phone 7/7.5 have been told there is no upgrade path to Windows Phone 8! | |

I know the answer is probably "no", BUT... on an ancient phone like the Orange SPV-xxx can you upgrade the Windows Phone OS on it? |
